Surrey v Durham CC 2025


Its finally over, got to say superb from both openers and well done skipper in hitting two hundreds. Surrey got what they deserved and fair play to us for not folding and getting 11 points.
An awful game though where the biggest loser or winner depending on how you see it was Rob Key and his pathetic ball. Another knife into the back of our beloved county championship.
 
Over the moon with that to be honest. A lot of bed wetting comments about the lads for a couple of days, yes 820 is a lot of runs but totally needless and it's worked in our favour massively, so to take I think 11 points from Surrey away is a very good outcome. Total arrogance from Surrey.

Kookaburra thing is a joke, don't need to go into anymore details about that.

I just hope especially on social media, those who only appear when "things are shit" are quick to praise the lads because that has been a tough and rough few days in some extreme temperatures, they deserve a lot of credit for digging in.

Proud of this team, proper good strong stick together attitude and that'll do me just fine.
 
From a Yorkshire supporter. Really glad the southern arrogant ****** failed to win. They batted on far to long just for an ego trip and to break a record. Serve them right. 600 would have been a ample for them.
 
1 result in division 1 with high scoring draws the rest. Mind numbing

Not sure if Div 2 are using the kooky ball as there’s been results in that division

I see the Yorkies got the only win in Division 1.

Still had pretty high first innings scores

Key should be made to come out and explain why we continue with this farce every season

The lads involved are supposedly getting experience for tests over seas

All for that but none of the likely over seas bowlers ever play these games

Absolutely, I didn’t want to say much at the end of Day 2 as I didn’t want to jinx the lads, but I’m so pleased the game has petered out into such a dull and inevitable draw.

There’s no way a Ryan Campbell team would’ve done something as ridiculous as that. As I say, they could’ve declared a session earlier to attempt to truly force a result and they’d have still had plenty of runs to rule out the chance of a defeat.

Anyway, there it is, Lees hundred, handshakes alround. Durham take 11 points from the game.

Hindsight makes everyone an expert, ey?
 
I bet Strauss is laughing his head off.

He recommended using Kookaburra's....and he got paid for it.

I still remember Atherton mocking him when they were both doing commentary soon after that review came out. He knew like all cricket fans that those recommendations were a joke.
