Durham v Worcs

21 needed from 18 balls. Should be a breeze for them.

8 wicket loss with nearly two overs to spare. Joke of a team.

Listening to radio, said we bowled poor, too short and too much on leg. Its been a trend all season, why don't we try bowling full and yorkers. Yes might be driven for 4, but takes a good shot and less likely for a 6, compared to short pitched stuff. Think particularly Coughlin, just done a check on his stats

Agree but in his defense he is bowling in the powerplays and at the death where most players go for 10+ an over and it's only a matter of inches between a perfect yorker and a legside fulltoss. It's the offside long hops which annoy me-it's impossible to set a field for them.

Others have been bowling in those times though, and aren't going for almost as many. He's only completed his overs once.

Personally would like us to try spin opening, lots of other teams try it so can't see why we shouldnt given we can't get through

Slow bowling is usually key. Look at Borthwick recently, Collingwood going at less than rushy let alone the genuine quicker bowlers

Yeah, we always seem to struggle against spin and slower bowlers ourselves. Think now would be the time to 'experiment' with a few things, preparing us for next season
