This is ridiculous Durham, Stevens isn't even on yet! ????

by StaggerBreaths 6/11/2017 1:52:56 PM
Well glad Somerset took Leach off, him and Bess had Yorkshire on toast. Now added 37 for the 9th Wicket, priceless stuff

are there normally non-Yorkies on the tq1hrEAS?

by Joe Williams 6/11/2017 1:49:17 PM
(realises he's the only non-Yorkie in the thread) ????

by StaggerBreaths 6/11/2017 1:46:54 PM
any idea why 'set are bowling the quicks? seems counter productive given bess and leach have 7/8 wickets to fall

by Joe Williams 6/11/2017 1:44:37 PM

What did I say about his shoulders, eh? Never in doubt.

by StaggerBreaths 6/11/2017 1:41:16 PM
Ballance and Carver giving up running between wickets, fence or nothing

by Lawrence Payne 6/11/2017 1:39:59 PM
Maybe a bit much. But I can see why, given the current lack of confidence, they'd do it.

by StaggerBreaths 6/11/2017 1:37:48 PM
they set them 484 after bowling them out for 236 1st innings.

by Lawrence Payne 6/11/2017 1:35:59 PM
No, I just think Durham's bowling isn't very good right now. I'd back Kent to chase anything under 350. Even under 400.

by StaggerBreaths 6/11/2017 1:31:08 PM
Kent putting up stern resistance, think Durham batted on too long?

He's just preparing to open his shoulders. He'll be flying along at an RR of 20 in no time.

Don't have spare batsmen in the UK, probably just pretend they might select Rashid at every match but never do it

by nickcricket 6/11/2017 12:52:21 PM
What we're looking at, Nick, is their bench-warming capabilities. I reckon Ballance could keep a bench warmer than Jos.

by StaggerBreaths 6/11/2017 12:51:16 PM
meanwhile Yorkshire now collapsing

by Lawrence Payne 6/11/2017 12:49:15 PM
Ballance is awful player, Jos much better. Jos wouldn't get stranded with a SR if 41

by nickcricket 6/11/2017 12:48:31 PM
I do see that his SR is back at #BallyBingo levels.

SB you have to watch the highlights sometime its pure comedy gold

by Lawrence Payne 6/11/2017 12:46:08 PM
Lucky Ballance needs to be careful, his fc average is almost 50 again :)
