Durham Championship match

[Leicestersaint]

We were all out for 105 - what on earth went wrong here?

I'd wait and see what happens in their first innings - could be a batsman's graveyard.

84/2 at stumps suggest probably not ! Just hope the rain we have had here heads NE fast !!

However, it does make you wonder how switching from 20/20 to a 4 day match within 2 days may not be ideal albeit of course the same for both sides.

I still hope we can do really well in the championship this year - but we need more consistent batting and bowling.

[Leicestersaint]

They are now 140 for 3 - I don't like the way this match is going!

 

Why hasn't he given Dawson a bowl?

[Berkshire Saint]

191/3 now, really need some rain!

 

Dawson hardly ever seems to bowl in the Championship, Carberry has bowled more overs than him this season! He has been expensive but he always seems to pick up wickets.

[Leicestersaint]

208 for 5 - a bit better and at least we will get a few bowling points hopefully. No sign of the rain in Durham yet.

[Leicestersaint]

Durham 311 all out. Hants 1 for 1 in second innings - Carberry out for a second duck! What's gone wrong here then?

[Leicestersaint]

52 for 4 and going down with all hands

[Hatch]

Not good,

 

at least Tahir got 5 wickets and he is in my fantasy team

[saint_stevo]

Harmison ripped us a new one

[bungle]

Despite the fact we are doing badly, it is great to have some proper cricket to talk about again, after the recent farcical "cricket".

 

Not sure how we are going to save this game - think we will be relying on the weather.

No play yet. Dare to dream?

[The Saturday Boy]

All out for 96.

 

Game over.

[The Saturday Boy]

Lost by an innings and 110 runs -

Durham were lucky

Thanks for that. BBC Sport still hasn't updated the overnight score. What a shameful capitulation. I could just about pardon the 1st innings as they had to rush up there Friday and get stuck in on a rain affected day. But yesterday?

too much one day batting in 4 day matches no doubt. It's what happened to the W.Indies in the recent 2 test series.One day cricket and 4 day cricket should take place in seperate parts of the season.First 1 day from April to late June and then 4 day afterwards.

Going to be worse next year with 2 20/20 comps. although no World cup to get in the way.

 

OK there is one In South Africa with a bigger ball. Before someone tries to out-pedant me.

[bungle]

Also the gap in the season for those not involved in the farce (which includes our young bowlers) can't help. Not sure how much Durham's team is different from when they play non-cricket.

[Leicestersaint]

An awful performance.
