England V Australia Durham 21st June

[Voice of fair play]

Just a reminder if you have a car, use the park and ride at Lambton lion parks old site.

Saves a lot of time before and after

Done that last year for the T20 game against the West Indies last year worked a treat.

 

[Sandboy]

No idea, going with the littletown cc so probably with a couple of here as well. You in corporate?

Can you take cans in? Last time I went to cricket you could.

no booze allowed, I'm in the County Durham stand, just been to M+S for loads of pies, sarnies etc

 

[stephen cartwright]

I'm green like the Hulk with envy. Hope you all have a cracking day and we might as well make it 4-0

Ah bollocks, will have to drink these 4 cans before hand then.

Eatings cheating!!

 

[Lord Alfred]

In the ground now....sun shining, great atmosphere building and got my first beer of the day sitting over the trapdoor

Can’t wait...

 

[Thebumble]

The queue for the beer tent must be massive! It certainly doesn’t look like a sell out on Sky.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Did the FTECB ban RTG updates once play began?

Finch got exactly a ton, then out to wood plum

Now stoinis has had his stumps demolished by wood

This is an old school game right up @NorthCountryBoy s Chester le Street

227 for 3 off 39.5

 

[The Red Telephone]

227 for 3 off 39.5

Proper one day score that...Aussies will be looking to push on for 6 an over off the last ten.

 

[stephen cartwright]

258 for 4 off 44.5

Agar c buttler b Rashid

Now a review for a lbw for Rashid, I think it's umpire choice at first
He gave not out

Umpire call not out. Unlucky

Marsh goes to a ton with a six to the trapdoor stand

Finch and marsh tons

Carey c overtones b Willey 6

Full toss 296 for 5 off 47.1

Overtones FFS, undertones I meant

The queue for the beer tent must be massive! It certainly doesn’t look like a sell out on Sky.

Crowd has built as it's gone on

A relay catch by Roy and overton was brilliant

Roy caught it, going over the rope, flung it high back over to overton

296 for 6 off 47.2

Marsh c overton b Willey 106

299 for 7 off 47.5

Neser c buttler b Willey 2

Three wickets in the over for Willey

Willey ended up with four

This is a record score in an odi at CLS, which is funny as it felt pedestrian.

Finch 100
Marsh 101

Wood 2 for 49 off 9 and a maiden
Willey 4 for 43 off 7
Rashid 2 for 73
Overton 55 off 7
Root 44 off a full ten
Modern 43 off 7

 

[smoker]

310 feels like a decent score at CLS

How did Overton bowl?

Overton bowled too short and struggled to get above 85mph, 55 conceded off 7

It's a record score in Odis at CLS though as I said, it felt pedestrian

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Record score in a ODI at CLS

 

[stephen cartwright]

Record score in a ODI at CLS

Is it?

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Is it?

Yes. Apparently. Surprised as seemed pedestrian

 

[stephen cartwright]

Yes. Apparently. Surprised as seemed pedestrian

Surprised nobody had mentioned it

Must be making some wedge at £5 a pint.
