chrissafc
he was up for the 4 dayer the other week

Rushy bowled one double figure over in two games and gets dropped, what do these bowlers have to go for to lose their place?
keenasmustard
I've seen the Lancs fan tonight who wears that hat covered in red roses.
via SMS
Roker you are dead right too much dead wood i am worried about status in lvcc do not know how club will pull this season around someone give me hope
chrissafc
aye luke i know who you mean, he likes his random photos, proper durham diehard that bloke

Dont want Shane Warne at the club. Wouldnt mind Liz Hurley though.
Lancs 100
Lancashire pass the hundred mark - 104-1 after 11.2 overs.
9:22pm
safcluke
just spotted a durham regular on the tele. Always seems to get his photo taken with the umpires or the video umpire at international games.
chrissafc
we dont have shane warne at the club, i doubt we ever will
roker1973
hardley shane warne though chris. anyway we need a clean out from top too bottom
chrissafc
maybe so but i think he's one of the better ones at the club for this level of the game.
via SMS
I think my prediction of 15overs was out by a bit re think now 13overs
Tynevalleyblackcat
It has to be said, but this is a massacre. We are not competitive at all and that's the worst part.
roker1973
still been here too long like other has beens at club,
Croft 50
Fifty for Croft as Lancashire reach 94-1 after 10.3 overs.
9:19pm
chrissafc
hes also been injured this season, first game back last week in the first team
safcluke
Dom Cork is desperate for us to get beat.
chrissafc
because he's on a 1 day contract. i believe he plays for consett (someone correct me if i'm wrong). he's useful at this level of the game.
Latest
Mid way through the Lancashire innings and they are 88-1...
9:17pm
roker1973
he has hardley bowled this year though
chrissafc
His economy rate last season was 7.44 in the t20
Response to keenasmustard
Nope, not at all, first I've heard of it - trying to keep these pages about the games - I use the link to send to fans that want to follow the action.
9:15pm
via SMS
Frank- i hope your correct. But i think your wrong the club is in turmoil.
chrissafc
also took 9 catches in the 2011 T20
roker1973
leg spinners are known too give runs away in tipperly runs cricket, we just have no other spinner
Bowling change
Gareth Breese comes on for the 10th over - Lancs 79-1...
9:13pm
chrissafc
breese took 13 wickets last season in the t20 and averaged 21 with the bat. that's very useful in my opinion
roker1973
skipper should be shot bowling borthwick now
via SMS
They will destroy borthwick why bother bowling him
mak
roker you only win with good team spirit too
Frankjw
Anon/sms - we can manage without you, and we will get back where we belong with a bit of support and encouragement
chrissafc
we don't have any class t20 players though. maybe gibbs but he's only here for a few games
Update
Lancs 62-1 after 8 overs...Croft 45* and Smith 7*. On comes Scott Borthwick!
9:07pm
chrissafc
gareth breese is a useful 1 day cricketer.
Mark
I just think we have not had a great deal of luck-especially in the CC, we should have beaten Lancs and almost certainly would have beaten Warwickshire in the last CC home game had it not rained.
chrissafc
yes i know i said spinner, hence why i suggested breese
safcluke
Just give the ball to Mustard or Gibbs.
via SMS
Agree do nor destroy borthwick do not bowl him we've lost any way
roker1973
chris you said spinner,
Mark
Absolutely not chris, no one is happy right now.
chrissafc
breese?
chrissafc
but.... you cant expect everyone to be happy at the moment.
roker1973
we have only got borthwick and the total we got wasnt enough, for him too bowl
chrissafc
i'll support as much as i can. going to a big effort to get up to edinburgh for the cb40 game. also hoping to get down to lancs for the lvcc game which i believe will be a crucial game.
via SMS
Who is running this club i cannot believe what i am watching
Tynevalleyblackcat
Does not look any better than it sounds Chris
chrissafc
have we not thought about giving a spin bowler a go, seems keedy got wickets?
Mark
One thing I would say and I hope it doesn't sound self-righteous! is we need to support the players, criticism fully justified but I'm sure they are doing their best.
via SMS
The faster we bowl the harder they hit it.
chrissafc
doesnt sound good tonight, not watching on sky, so just going by comments. got itv on
roker1973
turd cricket chris
Bowling change
A bowling change for the Dynamos, on comes Ben Stokes - Lancs 53-1 after 6 overs.

Just to give you advance notice - there will be no LMC service on 6 July for the Dynamos match against Leicestershire Foxes at Grace Road. Our ODI between England and Australia is on 7 July and I am required at Emirates Durham ICG.

roker1973

Frankjw
Not a good over this one
Latest
Sorry that last post was ambitous! Lancs 39-1 after 4.4 overs.
8:54pm
via SMS
Start the car
keenasmustard
If we could hypnotize Blackie into thinking the ball is a pork pie we'd see some athletic fielding from him.
chrissafc
@ Mark - you're warm with your impression
Mark
Or Northern Echo. He didn't explicitly say Blackie wasn't playing for fitness reasons so I may be wrong but that's the impression I got.
chrissafc
31-4?
Mark
If Blackie was playing who would we leave out? When the CB40 games started Geoff hinted that Blackie wasn't playing because we wanted an athletic fielding side. His comments were in either The Journal.
keenasmustard
Don't know but we bent over backwards to keep him when last season he looked like he was going to leave.
via SMS
Blackwell hasn't played any club cricket yet, he was due to make his debut for Washington on Sunday but the weather intervened
safcluke
could be, could be. But wasn't he playing club cricket when he was supposedly injured?
chrissafc
@keenasmustard - he wasnt injured at the start of the season
keenasmustard
Easing his way back after injury?
safcluke
Chris - what cricketing reasons could there be for Blackwell to be playing second XI cricket when he's arguably our BEST OD player?
via SMS
Alluding- nice word that
chrissafc
from what i am told it's purely cricketing reasons. anyway back to the game......
via SMS
Brath is fit and well and just wants to play cricket, apart from this weeks two's there's not much else.
Update
Dynamos 17-1 after 2.5 overs, Croft 4* and Smith 4*.
8:46pm
chrissafc
likewise mark, he's a nice lad.
Mark
I saw Brathwaite at the ground a few weeks ago during a CC game-he looked fine and seemed happy.
chrissafc
can't see that been the case.
chrissafc
in other news, strictly kosher is on after corra
via SMS
Brath played for Sunderland on Saturday, bowled 3 overs, ten wides and two wkts.
safcluke
"45's"
chrissafc
he's brilliant bumble
safcluke
Bumble is great.
via SMS
Yvete supporters are worried at what is happening we look kippered in all format of the game
safcluke
Is Brathwaite still here? He doesn't even seem to be playing second xi cricket.
Lancs one down!
And the first wicket goes! Myburgh catches Moore off Claydon for 8. Lancs 13-1 after 1.2 overs.
8:41pm
chrissafc

chrissafc

safcluke
well done Mitch
roker1973

Update
Lancashire 7-0 after the first over - Mitchell Claydon takes the ball at the opposite end.
8:39pm
chrissafc
as i said last week, the players are honest and approachable. gutted i cant be at the next Q&A though.
Latest
Questions/observations outside this game are best saved for our Members Q and A sessions - the next one is Friday 27 July.
8:38pm
keenasmustard
Isn't he just coming back from injury though?
chrissafc
he's wasted playing at brandon for the 2ndxi.
safcluke
yet he's better of wasting his time playing against northants second xi. hmm.....
roker1973
blackie is a class limited overs player and has too play in this team
chrissafc
blackwell played 1 day cricket today yet is "rested" for the first team. doesn't take a genius to work it out...
via SMS
Sorry to say this but i think poor ben stoles needs dropped he looks like the confidence has gone and his hands are kippered
safcluke
If they are rested, why are they playing second xi cricket?
chrissafc
he's one of our better 1 day performers, he should be in the team. nobody will disagree with that.
Lancashire innings begins
The Lancashire innings begins...Graham Onions will bowl the first over.
8:36pm
chrissafc
maybe so but I know that isn't the case with blackwell.
Tynevalleyblackcat
Brandonia says 'Shambolic' and if we are honest, that pretty much sums up our whole season so far. I know this is where the money is, but I am only really interested in retaining our position in Div One of the proper stuff.
t20 squad
There are a number of players that have been excluded from the t20 squad and rested for Championship cricket - we have a lot of work to do there when it resumes!
8:35pm
roker1973
too many hplayers past there sell by date in our squat from batting too bowling, we need sum young blood .
mak
i hope im proved wrong i always want us to win but been let down to much recently
chrissafc
hope we win but people at the club need to swallow their pride/opinion about blackwell and get him back in the 1 day cricket. shocking it really is.
via SMS
Come on yvete what do you expect that performance was* ** poor i feel sorry for the bowlers
brandonia
I hope they do but this should be a cake walk for Lancs.

It's really bright sunshine yet the floodlights are on. Npower must be rubbing their hands.
chrissafc
they need to swallow their pride/differences and get blackwell back in this 1 day stuff

Dynamos 120-9 with an over left...
8:21pm
chrissafc
yeah he was as i said earlier it sums up what i've been saying. i've said time and time on here i will be amazed if we see him in 1 day stuff for the 1st team. he's wasted playing 1 day stuff for the 2nd xi
mak
if its that easy for onions the lancs batsmen will get these in 12
Six!
Six for Onions!
8:20pm
keenasmustard
Blackie was in the 2nds today.

Mark
6 from Bunny!

Village. Totally Village.
chrissafc

brandonia
Always look on the bright side of life...... How apt.
Wicket...
Plunkett is bowled by Keedy - The Dynamos are 113-8 after 17.4 overs.

After 17 overs...
Three overs left, we're 110-7...Bothwick and Plunkett at the crease...go for it!
8:13pm

Nice bit of craft gets us up to that 150 like... Breese is just the lad to work it around n arl.
Mark
Gareth!
brandonia
150 wins it for us. I'd use stronger words than boring like. It's like chalk and cheese with him an Bumble.
safcluke
Yvette - can you nip into the commentary box and tell Charles Colville he is very boring.
keenasmustard
Here's Proctor with that strange action.

Bet he never bought the ticket

7:58pm

These t20 games are always a bit of a lottery, luck plays a big part. If we get a decent total there's no reason why we can't defend it.
via SMS
Chrissafc mdv hit over 150 runs in 77 balls today. Great to see him back
via SMS
Chrissafc I agree but I'm just commenting on the blackwell situation. Criminal he isn't playing 1 day stuff. Can't see it changing. He's a great 1 day player
LMC'ers
Positivity doesn't cost anything...we still have the Lancashire innings to come and we've skittled them before!
7:56pm
roker1973
have faith breese and muchall will win this for us they are quality

There needs to be a serious long look at what is going on at durham i am worried we will disapear without a trace
brandonia
Could've done with Diva!!

Lancs are capable of worse batting than us

Lets all start talking about how we should never have let Mark Davies go.

via SMS
Brandonia: Nice one, are you down there tomorrow Yvette?
Toss result
Durham Dynamos win the toss and will bat first!
6:39pm
Response to Brandonia
I would imagine the squad will be similar - we'll confirm the team at the toss tomorrow.
6:38pm
brandonia
Aye, I thought it was canny like. Was positive he got two wickets but I was too busy cracking on with the scorer Richie. Cracking lad. Has anyone off here been to Bradon today? Or plan to go to any of the 3 Day game? Will the same squad be used for that Yvette? Strong lineup like. Theres been some big names played there this week. Andrew Pratt, Steve Chapman and ME on Saturday!! Now this lot from Durham (Harmy, Diva, Rocky, Blackie, Brathwaite). Niall O'Brien for Northants too!
Mark
He's probably being careful not to push too hard too early, would be disastrous if he got injured before 2nd half of CC season. Great that he's helping the younger bowlers.
2XI update
2XI: Northants post 128-7 handing Durham the win! Three wickets for Coughlin and one each for Wood, Thorp, Harmison and Blackwell.
6:29pm
via SMS
lers though and looked as if he was giving some advice which I thought was great.
via SMS
Brandonia: He took a couple of wickets with the new ball but didn't look as if he was putting too much into it. He was talking to some of the younger bow
Mark
Did Harmy bowl well?
via SMS
g forward to the 3 Day game tomorrow!
via SMS
Brandonia: Just finished at Brandon. Comfortable win for Durham. Wood looked impressive bowling and Rocky took a great diving catch in the covers. Lookin
Mark
Not a bad comeback innings by Diva. Great man.
2XI update
2XI update: A delayed start to the one day v Northants at Brandon but we still scored pretty high thanks to 156* from Di Venuto..Durham posted 238-4 off their 25 overs. Northants currently 70-7.
5:46pm
Mark
Sun, what's that?! Looks to have been a special innings from Diva in the second X1 game today!
Lightning v Dynamos
