Durham v Yorksire ( 3 Day Friendly) Monday March 28

[The Red Telephone]

Apparantly the plan was for Durham to bat for two sessions...Well that's going well 68/6.

 

[Monument View]

Not making any sort of fist of this 68 for 6
Only Borthwick digging in

Another 4 needed to avoid the follow on

In this format it is possible for batter’s to bat a second time in the same innings. It is just a practice game after all.

 

[The Red Telephone]

69/7 - really poor stuff from all but Borthwick.

 

[Monument View]

69 for 7 now make that 8 Raine gone sorry still 7

 

[smoker]

Of course this statement will now mean Durham will be lucky to get to three figures.

Looking like a good shout.

FFS Durham is my outlet from shiteness that is England! I could do without them being bad too.

Is Dom Bess bowling himself into an England recall

Not all bad though there's been 3 wickets for Shotley Bridge so far

 

[Silly Point]

Worth remembering it's a friendly in March in shite weather after 6 months of no proper cricket apart from against a few students last week

 

[brandon]

Meh, not worth getting upset about anything. All about miles in the legs for the bowlers mainly. Be nice for a few of our batsmen to get time in the middle top of course, but there’s another chance at Northants coming up on what is probably a road.

 

[The Red Telephone]

77/9 Leech on a hat trick. Been impressed with his bowling.
Dickson coming back out for a second go.

Just turned the stream on to see Borthwick get a bottom edge to a wide one then Pottsy comes in takes an off stump guard and then doesn't move his feet and missed a straight full length delivery.

Looks like Borthwick wasn't too impressed to be given out

Slips all went up as if it was a routine caught behind in a practice match. Probably more like disappointment from our skipper.

Aye The Colonel didn't do him any favours there.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Well that's a canny start to the season for me, watched 7 deliveries 2 Durham wickets and the stream went down.
Hope the new scoreboard is working Red Telephone.

For some reason yesterday it suddenly showed the score from when we beat Surrey in the RL50 semi final last season - I can only conclude it was sending out a gentle reminder to them to remember to turn up at Gosforth later this season.

 

[The Rat]

Freezing cold, damp, dark

Not great batting but don’t think it signifies much

 

[The Red Telephone]

Bess really has one of the strangest run ups to the wicket. Starts off as if he's like the reincarnation of Deadly Derek Underwood then stops dead after three paces.
