Lack of quality in the top order is their problem

Braithwate has a decent record.

Can't rely on 1 or 2 players like, we found that when we only had Cook and Root contributing

Its why I don't mind people like Denly, Burns, they occupy crease, not always out for single figure scores, it adds up. What the windies need.

Brathwaite and Hope are their 2 best test batsmen and they’ve both averaged 20 since Headingley 2018, no-one else has stepped up for them either

Feature on Pakistan and them playing in the UAE, shot of an English flag "THE JACKSONS" with a black cat, SAFC, "Podgy Roker", "Durham CCC" and "The Howard Arms" across it

Class seeing our stamp on the world out of the blue

Seen the book re Durham five trophies and a funeral? On the front cover is the smb cricket forums very own FTECB symbol
Game has restarted

3 for 1
Burns clips a half volley of his legs, timed to perfection to bring up the first 4 of 2020

Looks like a really dodgy decision to bat. There have been about ten clean strikes from the ball, so far.
Agreed. Always a bowl first with the conditions and situation .

has anyone else seen the picture of stokes and Van Gogh? Was mentioned somewhere but I’ve forgotten where. Useless

found it.

never seen in the same room together
Lovely pull this time for four by Denly through mid on. Compared to his first attempt that went nowhere, this was a lovely four

16 for 1

then an edge down third man through the fourth slip area for 4

20 for 1
Good news

my tea has arrived. Fried egg and tomato in a stottie


be nice

The pitch is starting to play a bit easier. This happens, 1.Over time. 2. When I open my big maw to complain about conditions.
