Gloucester away , 50 over game 22/8/23
- Thread starter Ghfd
- Start date
Durham will be looking to round off their Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign with back-to-back wins when they take on Gloucestershire tomorrow at Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol.
Following Sunday’s thrilling 1 run win over group leaders Warwickshire, Durham will head to Bristol aiming for their fourth win of the competition.
Ryan Campbell has named an unchanged squad of 13 for Durham’s final List A game of 2023. Having not played on Sunday Harry Crawshaw remains in contention to make his List A debut.
Durham are unable to qualify for the knockout stages of the Metro Bank One Day Cup, but a win tomorrow could see them finish fourth in the group.
Gloucestershire sit in third but a win would see them leapfrog Worcestershire in second spot on run rate. The Pears have also completed their fixtures, a Gloucestershire win would see them secure a home quarter final.
“It is definitely the smallest boundary I’ve ever played in, but even with the small boundary in mind, we had a big score and we felt that if we kept taking wickets like we did, we would make it quite hard for them.
“Credit must go to out bowlers as well. Mig started really well and then for young Bushnell to come on under lots of pressure and defend nine in the last over was really impressive. I’m happy for him because I think he bowled well the whole game.
“We now go to Gloucestershire on Tuesday and will be aiming to finish off the campaign with a win, we are disappointed not to be in contention for the knockout stages but we will be looking to finish off the tournament strongly.”
Overseas players: Zafar Gohar (Pakistan)
2022 finish: Fifth (Group A)
2022 leading runscorer: Jack Taylor (401)
2022 leading wicket taker: Zafar Gohar & Paul van Meekeren (13 each)
Key player: Jack Taylor – Capable of providing mid-innings acceleration with powerful striking to all areas of the ground, the experienced all-rounder averaged 66.83 with the bat in last season’s competition and also did well with his leg-spin, taking 11 wickets, with an economy rate of less than six an over.
Young Player to watch: Joe Phillips – The 19-year-old Cornishman, from Truro, is fresh from making his first-class debut in the LV= Insurance County Championship match against Glamorgan at Cheltenham. Before that he made 63 and 95 in a second XI game with Kent and is sure to be given plenty of opportunities in the 50-over competition.
Final thought: The One-Day Cup offers a final chance for Gloucestershire to make something of a disappointing season, having failed to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Vitality Blast and struggled in the County Championship Second Division. Their chances are strengthened by having only two players selected for The Hundred and, despite a relatively small squad, they should be competitive.
I suppose I’ll get a six week holiday for this crime

Words from David Bedingham
“Ed Barnard played really well for the Bears. I felt I started a little bit slowly but towards then it got easier and easier I was lucky enough to get a few away. It was a great game. It rarely happens that two teams bat for 50 overs each and there is one run in it at the end of the day. It was a really good game of cricket.“It is definitely the smallest boundary I’ve ever played in, but even with the small boundary in mind, we had a big score and we felt that if we kept taking wickets like we did, we would make it quite hard for them.

By all accounts Trev was given the option to go out on loan to Leics for this competition but preferred to stay with us reasoning that he had a better chance of winning it with us than them...The best laid plans etc.
Pity our home record doesn't match that.
Win this one and our Away Record for this competition will be Played 4 Won 3 No Result 1

Can you think of any other examples of NE sports teams where their home form let's them down?

Used to love Feethams. The Tin Shed used as a sightscreen, Taylor's pies, the great chippy just outside the ground and sneaking into the Main Stand of the football ground during the interval and sitting in the Chairman's seat.

I blame the bigger boundaries

Was on a freebie courtesy of Melvin Betts who knew a couple of brothers called Peel who played for Chester le street seconds iirc
they had a sister who was manager of the pictures in the metro centre and they used to pass on freebie to that as well
I returned the favour by bringing in to work home baked bread already buttered
one of them was a mad keen horse racing buff who moved down close to Chester race course so we’ve lost contact
was a day and a half with the heat and drink and to this day , I’ve no idea how I got back to Chester le street via Newcastle central train station
I only had a ticket to Chester le street
