CC :: Worcestershire v Durham

[mosi]

Made the 500 mile round trip absolutely worth it

 

[brandon]

Bedingham class at one end, Stokes flicking sixes at the other, over 200 in session and nearly saw history. It doesnt get any better.
Leaving Worcester now to get back home for the match.

Back to Worcester after the match for Day 3?

 

[Twisted]

Two more sixes and he creates a new world record for sixes in a First Class innings.

Wait a world record?? I thought it was just a cc record

 

[Bri]

Stokes needs 1 maximum to equal symonds county record and 2 to break it....

Haven't been able to watch and just seen the scores!

Won't watch now until after 2 more sixes just in case I jinx it!

Why oh why did I not watch from the start of today. Bugger!

Fantastic stuff though.

Unless I heard it wrong, yes…?

How long till bedders qualifies for England

 

[The Rat]

Forever

I'm at work so can't follow. That just seems absolutely bonkers like

 

[mackembhoy]

Wow last time I looked he was on 9 from 18 and bedders was on 80 odd

 

[brandon]

Forever

I think looking at it, you were right to question it. Just this country it must be, the world record appears to be 23 (Colin Munro for Auckland v Central Districts in 2014/15).

I'd bat for another 10 overs

It’s been like watching a Dad smash his kids bowling all over the garden

Distance and time (multiplied by speed, etc)*

I think we should push on to 650, which should be reached before Tea even if we lose wickets. That would mean they’d have to score 500 just to avoid the follow on and would give us 7 sessions to take 20 wickets.

Obviously if Stokes keeps going berserk we could even get up to 700 before Tea and/or have more overs at them today.

*bit of early 2000’s GCSE maths there

Edit - first ball after lunch - SIX

Stokes 152* from 83 balls (8x4, 16x6).

That depends on how long it would take to bowl them out once, sides don’t like enforcing follow on with bowlers dead on their feet I guess

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

179 S/R

 

[Ottery]

My god

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

First ball after lunch smashed for 6

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

What a morning to have to go to the dentist for a filling. Stokes was on a steady 20* when I left. Certainly be watching this session again on YouTube.
So much for my 550 declare before tea.
