Durham’s T20 Campaign

Leics were on a suspended sentence because of their misdemeanours of a few years back so they can hardly complain.

True but it’s all a bit swift , just as a winner takes all game is starting.

the last warning was for two full tosses and somebody running in to give a batsman a send off

well let’s see Kohli booted out of the test for his antics

They are not blameless but Yorkshire have suffered nowt in comparison for all their carry on

even had a test last week. It all smacks of favouritism towards them. They get a money spinner QF

we were bloody docked points for financial stuff, removal of tests, prize money withheld , relegated

Yorkshire so far, sweet fanny adams

Colin Graves. All those things Durham were punished with , were a nice help to yorkshire . They got the tests, we were out of that seasons with the points off before it started so that therefore raised yorkshires chances and we got relegated, when we had a competitive team, so less threat to yorkshire in that decision

i still don’t know how Graves was allowed to do those decisions, when yorkshire were in more debt and he was keeping them afloat

never mind the racism stuff, which occured whilst he was around yorkshire

i will never accept what the did to Durham was not to try and close the club altogether and where would northern lads go? Yorkshire most likely. They already get the likes of stokes and Potts in the 100 at headingley

Graves knew that we were in direct competition with Yorkshire for staging rights for tests in the NE. He had a financial interest in Yorkshire CCC -independent Grave trust my @rse. As such, he should have declared his interest and withdrew from any discussion and decision making on the issue.
Bent as a nine bob note.

More should have been of it. It’s like Klopp issuing point deductions to city or United. Would not be allowed.

nothing is going to happen with yorkshire.

Rumoured that Dan Christian is due to appear at a disciplinary hearing at Notts FA on an ungentlemanly conduct charge

Nixon is a good shout. Leicestershire have improved immensely in T20 as the T20 campaign has progressed. Pretty sure he and his family are still based in Cumbria.

He isn’t, at all.

Folks have short memories but the Nixon link to the story is interesting. Leicestershire were a four day force around the time T20 came into existence but they put their eggs in that basket and became T20 specialists in no time at all and with Nixon at the forefront we’re a formidable outfit in that format. However, their four day cricket declined considerably and let’s face it, they’ve never recovered - we, on the other hand, prioritised four day cricket and the rest, as they say, is history.

Keep your T20 specialists, do whatever it takes to get Collingwood or Benkenstein and if that still isn’t enough, consider giving it to someone else.

Franklin' interviewed by Marty after defeat. Usual talk of players hurting and that they have to find a way to get better at this format. A bit of talk about the new Aussie and options for the 50 over comp.
Marty to be fair did mention supporters not being happy about the results in the T20.
Worth watching on YouTube to me it seemed both appeared to know it's coming to an end.
You can log this entry and if he rucks up for the university game in March 2023 you can give me some stick.

Find it quite amusing that Franklin gets slagged of something rotten yet people would go for a coach that is winless and doing even worse than us in four day format

There was a bit of ‘needle’ in the game this year too from memory.

Nixon was mentioned as an option purely as a T20 coach, a specialist where he's been successful both here and abroad. 8 wins out of 14 is spectacularly successful compared to Durham's record.
All speculation anyway- can't imagine Franklin is going anywhere unless it's of his own volition.

When mentioned him generally not just as T20 coach
 
My 2p worth - there were a couple of good games at home but glad to see the back of the T20 this year. At least we didn’t finish bottom of the group.

Looking forward to the RL50. We produced some great performances last year, and while it might be too much to ask for a repeat this year, it has to be an improvement on the T20 😀

Yorkshire getting through to the quarter finals reminded me of the time they were due to play us several years ago and got kicked out for fielding an ineligible player.

I didn't realise though that the player in question was Azeem Rafiq.

Also was this incident in Graves memory when he decided to punish us I wonder.

I just finished Mark Wagh's 'Pavilion To Crease and Back' book which is basically the ex Warwicks and Notts batsman's diary of the 2008 season. I was reading it mainly to learn his take on the final Championship game of the season when Notts fell away spectacularly against Hampshire while we of course beat Kent to clinch out first title.

Also in the book he mentioned the Yorkshire ineligible player rumpus but until I read it I'd completely forgotten that the 17 year old player in question was Rafiq.
