Still can't believe we've won that game. It was doom and gloom at the ground yesterday during the rain interval, we were around 35 runs ahead with 7 wickets down. Thorp and Borthwick came out and went mental with the bat 
Special mention to the arrogant bunch of Middlesex lads who are stuck up here until Monday night for their train unlucky lads, maybe don't shout and be as dis-respectful next time.
Also a special mention to the cheat that is Steven Finn, shame on you for not been honest about 2 runs.
Credit to the Durham bowlers, outstanding last night and again this morning, we never gave up and the noise at the ground today was brilliant.
Great scenes at the end with the players celebrating on the pitch, so good to see.
I still believe some changes need to be made.
Great win
Noticed they only got 2 bowling points which is good and obviously only 2 batting points is good. No chance they will win.

Must have been immense to have been there. Unfortunately childminding got in the way of me being there. As it happens, a great win. What is more, the teams above us don't seem that far away! Almost a case of - what a difference a day makes. Great article on cricinfo about how at Tea last night we were effectively 36-7.
Talk in the commentary box was that 3 wins from 5 was needed to keep us up, however 2 wins might be enough if results elsewhere go our way. I suppose in truth it's pointless and impossible to envisage how the results will go. One thing is for sure though, we're suddenly back fighting!

Haven't heard noise like that at a Durham game for a long time, brilliant and quite a few turned up.
The bowling and fielding has never been an issue, I said to my other half last night just after our innings finished "we'll win this"
Just pleased for the players, the delight on their faces was great to see.
We decided to sit in the members lounge today for the game, got talking to some great people.
Also delighted for Richardson who had such a good game and took some crucial catches today.
Overall massive improvement needed with the bat in the top order. Bowling and fielding is excellent and that needs to continue, they really are bowling their hearts out at the moment.
Still can't believe we've won that game as it was a depressing situation during the rain interval yesterday. I posted the general feeling at the ground was people just expected defeat and wanted us putting out of our misery. Amazing how quick a game changed.
Very dissapointed in Steven Finn though.

Yesterday just in front of where we were sat, he went to save the ball from a boundary, he had hold of the ball and moved the rope back about half a metre. We all saw it and started signally 4 as the umpire had to ask, and Finn just shrugged his shoulders :roll: Clear boundary and he knew it just as much as we did, but they got away with it and we only scored 2 runs. He got a bit stick off us which didn't pleased the bellend arrogant Middlesex fans sat near us yesterday last session (in the corner of the county durham stand near the media centre). Shame he wasn't honest. Obviously with the game getting as close as it did, I was hoping those runs weren't going to prove crucial.

Poor show that, at least it didn't stop us from winning.

Very much a poor show, at one stage I thought it may have proven costly as it was getting nervy.
Just pleased we won.
