LVCC - Somerset v Durham

[brandon]

Chris Rodgers for Middlesex is one of the better overseas signings imo. Goes quietly about his batting and seems to regulary hit decent scores

Perfect proof that it's still possible to sign overseas batsmen who are willing to spend a whole summer and score bucketfuls of runs.

8 more no balls FFS.

Peterson 50. Punishing us for the drop on 30. He'll probably make a ton.

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Real men eat quiche.

Cannit speak for Kevin Howells mind

 

[brandon]

Four for Rushworth. Gets Thomas lbw. 154-7. Lead of less than 20 please.

 

[Aidan11]

Glad we got one more before they went into the lead.

I wont jinx them by making any bold predictions of their tail though.

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Done well here to be fair. 7 down before they got to parity is not too bad given our meager score.

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Perhaps the 'no ball' should receive punishment in kind. For every no ball, the bowler loses a testicle. Sentence to be carried out by cricket bat.

Done well here to be fair. 7 down before they got to parity is not too bad given our meager score.

Definitely.

Harrison no balls. Wish some fucker would get him in the nets and sort that out. He's given away 8 runs this innings and in such a tight game that's crucial.

Peterson farming the strike which perhaps suggests their tail is weak - I don't see that myself however but he's a better cricketer than me.

Mustard comes up to the stumps to discourage Peterson's advancing down the wicket. Result - another six.

Borthwick into the attack.

These two cùnts have put on 30 for the 8th wicket.

Peterson has added 38 since being shelled by Collingwood.

 

[mackembhoy]

Peterson gone now, colly making up for the earlier drop

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Muchall thought it was a 300 pitch? Only in the sense that it could be a bigger slaughter than Thermopylae

 

[mackembhoy]

Borthwick getting hit out of the ground

 

[Aidan11]

This is not good.

 

[mackembhoy]

Dockrell gone 226-9 , now the two twins in.

Lets hope jamie cannit bat like craig

 

[SAFC11]

The amount of no balls is stupid. It isnt that hard to bowl without over stepping. Average a no ball every 7 overs or less. Awful

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

All we need to get back into this match is one good stand. If someone can get a ton for us in the second innings we can win this one.

All out 234. Lead is 79.

 

[Aidan11]

71 lead. 50 more than I would have liked when they were six down.

 

[mackembhoy]

And wood gets his fifer all out for 234

Craig overton not out on 45*, brother leaves him stranded

 

[Aidan11]

Glad that's over.

Rushy & Woody 9 wickets between them.

 

[stephen cartwright]

if we can set them 250 this should be a great game

 

[brandon]

Nothing short of 350 required here.

 

[johnson]

That is a cracking effort lads, not sure I agree with any of these negative comments, bowled brilliantly to get them out for that, well done wood too.
