Leicestershire v Durham RL50

Poolynorm

Central Defender
Last game in the competition tomorrow where the hosts will be looking for a big win in order to qualify into the knockout stage .Every chance that Durham will retain the same eleven from yesterday.Hopefully Doneathy and Bushnell get a chance 🤔 Nothing to lose by leaving out 2 of the following : Borthwick, Dickson and Maddinson. Be nice to see the Rat and Brando return,unless they're currently sine die 😀 Also Ghfd if he's free from 16:4 duties and Smoker 🤞
 

Would like to see Leicestershire qualify to be honest just so one of the smaller counties can be seen as having some success, more so as they were shafted in the T20 by the ECB. As for Durham, the whole thing is a sorry mess and sums up everything I've said for over a year now in that changes are desperately needed. Team selection will be interesting as will selection for the 2nd xi game next week.
 
That reminds me - I need to have a look up in the loft and see if I can dig out my Uncle's old 1950s Gradidge Len Hutton cricket bat. I may need it if I'm going next Monday.:eek:
Check the old cupboards at Ropery Lane .There might be an old NC Allison bat or a Paul Beaney run up marker.
 
Leicestershire win toss and elect to bowl.Two changes from Sunday: Bushy and Rushy in for Badger and Gibson. Noticeable that Scott Steel is back for the Foxes.Everyones favourite is one of the umpires . Going for 267/7 .Clark with 70+ , Shadrach and Bushy 50+.Winners take home the Steve Greensword Trophy

Steve Greensword Trophy! -showing your age. Mr Pratt umpiring. Plentiful runs for Mr Steel and plentiful lbws against Durham.Shadrach being Maddinson I take it.

Only out by 70+, good start to the game and your predictions :)
 
Dickson didn't look happy with his lbw decision and made a stare at the umpire as he signed walked past . Commentary were surprised at decision and later stated it looked very leg sidish 🤔 Young Mack must've thought he was caught off the elbow region 🤔
52/6.

We seem to be finding new lows with every game.
We need one after James took on the Yorkshire Academy job 😉
