Big time.Sowter mugging off those of us who questioned the signing an hour ago
Two spinners strangling the middle overs, how T20 is played. Pity we had MLF Scotty getting pumped all over for 7 games.

Really wanted to watch Livingstone for
He’s bowled well I just don’t see the point of it
What’s the point? He’s going back next game
Assist for @The Rat

I’ve said all campaign - 3 spinners in your side is the way to go in the modern world of T20’s.
We’ve signed a spinner on loan for 1 game, pointless
Should have kept our own lad on We released last year
Couldn’t care if he took 10 wickets it sums up the short term strategy of the club right now
Been to nearly every game this year so I’m entitled to my opinion
We’ve 2 lads on loan here from different counties
That’s not how I want Durham ran
You’ve said before you think it’s only poor scouting that means we end up with local lads
So we know you don’t agree

Robinson with the stumping too
.The point is, we were desperate for a spinner due to injuries and a very capable one was available.
I completely understand your stance on loanees from outside, but there’s a balance required. Clearly the coaching staff didn’t feel like what we have in reserve is quite capable or ready (or both) to make the step currently.
Aye bowled well
It’s a tricky pitch like been no big scores lately
Much better chasing I reckon

I just think it more sums up the lack of long term planning at the club
We had whitehead a local leg spinner who was doing ok but we just don’t invest in him in white ball and now scraping round for loans one season ti the next
I dunno why leke comment after they do well that’s not my point
Too many random players in the team just passing through
The time lacks an identity and you can see that in the results
A few mock the cal for local lads but all our success is based on that plus 2 quality overseas

I love tye btw. Proper good signing for the blast
Hope he stays for 50 over?
The club press release said the remainder of the Blast - that’s 7 games. Unless I’ve missed something?
Course you are, nobody is saying you aren’t so calm yourself down.
I get your stance on this totally, but I’ve referenced my feelings above and to be fair, 1 of those has been one of our best batsmen in this competition, the other, it’s too early to say of course but he’s started well. Several people/pundits have commented about how useful the lad is as a cricketer in this format.
I’ve felt for a while that our bowling is our best suit and we’d be far better off bowling first as a tactic considering our batting fragility.
I’ve no doubt he will do well like but why wasn’t whitehead backed over a period
I just look at the XI tonight and it’s a random selection of players
Still hope we win mknd!
Totally agree
I’ve been perplexed Haven’t we won toss 2 times this week and batted?
Feel like the winds had a slight impact tonight.

Brilliant finish from Raine. Good to keep Coughlin and Carse away from the death overs.
