Davies out. Only their George can save them now!

roker1973

howay lads another wicket get these polished off

Ridgeley

I dont actually have a dog am just curious :)

Ridgeley

If dogs dont get a membership book how do the turnstile operators know which dog is a member and who has to pay on the gate then?

CollingwoodFTM

He has potential to be the next Botham, but could end up as the next David Capel or even Ronnie Iranie. It'll be up to him, he has the talent. I know where I'd hope he ends up.

Ridgeley

Whys it taken all day to reply to my dog request? Can we also have a vite on whether the club should be more transparant over the Blackwell situation?

Tynevalleyblackcat

Great stuff this. Can I be greedy and ask for another 2 tonight please??

CollingwoodFTM

Well done lads. Keep it up. Ridg, my name is based on when Colly was an ODI player and stands for "For Test Matches.". It was from the BBC cricket forum in the early mid 00s.

Ridgeley

Very selective reply wise

Ed Syers

Stokes, you beast of a man!

Ridgeley

???

Ridgeley

Will you be asking people with football type monikers to change their names ie safc or ftm which frankly i find offensive?

brandonia

Fair one Yvette - I'd rather talk about cricket anyway. Speaking of which - I think this is the most comfortable I've felt all season with regards to following Durham! Good times indeed.

Stan Drop

There's one of them for you Marchy. That's a good moment for me to gan on home to watch the Olympics. See you all tomorrer

brandonia

Any idea why my Steven Fletcher comment got deleted?? It was merely a passing statement - certainly not offensive but admittedly nothing to do with Durham CCC.

bryn

reet im off laters *rock n roll sent us insane*

bryn

aye that would make me laugh,david ginola hopefully *ooopfff*

bryn

got terry tibbs and an old rocker sat next to me now god i kin love dccc

Ridgeley

Someone call 911 ! Stokesys on fire!!

Tynevalleyblackcat

Looking good. Lets keep them coming.

brandonia

Aye, I wouldn't mind a pint of Estrella with Roy Cropper like.

chrissafc

@bryn - roy cropper on twitter is better ha ha

brandonia

Ben Harmison not in Kent's side today. Also, Worcestershire doing well (unfortunately) against Warwickshire - 231-5.

brandonia

Surrey 21-1 Peter. Trailing by 160.

chrissafc

:)

brandonia

Ask Maria if she fancies a Sailor Jerry and Coke with me at Brandon CC, she'd be an idiot not to take me up on this offer!

Ridgeley

Chrissafc how come you know all these famous folks?

brandonia

Tell me about it. They have a cafe-cum-art gallery..... Weird. Any place where I can't get 3G must be a very depressing place to live.

Ridgeley

Aye Brando ..Chrissafc announced that Kirk off Corrie is his relation!

brandonia

Maximo Park on in the car and Surrey wickets falling - bliss. What's this about Corrie? Bored or summit like you lot?!

Tynevalleyblackcat

Great stuff. Lets have a few more tonight.

bryn

theres danger at the bar flap you know i mean the tall chap dont you fall into the masons arms ~ vernon tomlin

Ridgeley

Tina off of the Rovers Return is a hpoa!

Ridgeley

Id love a tour of weatherfields cobbled streets chrissafc could you ask your relation if they still do them pls?

Ridgeley

Chrissafc is your relation kirk off of corrie?

chrissafc

that will be my relation ha ha

chrissafc

enjoy

bryn

im off to the club show to see if corries kirk is grafting today

chrissafc

fair point that brian. will be interesting to take note.

BrianT

Suggesting they may lose one point for minus 3. why did we lose 4 points v Lancs when Ash Prince was going for a stroll between each ball? Remind me of the rule someone please. Or are they different for Lancs?

chrissafc

martin emmerson making a point of the bowling over rate.

chrissafc

let callum thorp just smash the ball all over now

Ridgeley

Whats happened to the framed england shirts etc in Austins? Has Harmy took them back....

Tynevalleyblackcat

I would rather let them have the extra bonus point and we get some more runs which could help us get the 16 points for the win.

marchy22

It would ridgely

chrissafc

dont really want them getting max bowling points.

chrissafc

mustard out lbw

chrissafc

i went to the game ridgeley

marchy22

This is the real Durham we all know and love

Ridgeley

Dizzy my head is spinning

chrissafc

300 up.

chrissafc

get to 300 then stop them getting max bowling points.

bryn

get thorp opening!!! he the dawg

chrissafc

160 lead now. this is good

Ridgeley

Shop lifting and twocing chris

chrissafc

aye east durham olympics :)

Stan Drop

And all that without DRS!

Ridgeley

Arriving at yours chrissafc?

Noz

To clarify he was given out lbw

Noz

I thought he got an edge but bizarre!! Got given out, walked half way off, Bunny on his way in and then called back by the umpire!!

chrissafc

what happened?

chrissafc

nice headache to have for the selectors.

bryn

a lead of 180 would now be bobbins

Ridgeley

I heart pauls boutique

Ridgeley

Remember Freddie the dolphin!?

Tynevalleyblackcat

This is going very well so far. Closing in on the next bonus point and every run makes Surrey's task harder.

marchy22

thorp is a quality batter, should have scored more runs than he has

bryn

Cheers stan :)

chrissafc

lead is over 150 now

chrissafc

i'll go along with that marchy, mustard doing the business and fair play to h im. its very tough on richardson mind

bryn

swallows are the dolphins of the skies

Stan Drop

50 of last 10 overs!! There's a great photo of Colly on Cricinfo.

chrissafc

thorp's SR 118.18

marchy22

woakes has to be in the englands electors minds

Ridgeley

For me the greatest one day final innings of all time at lords eas philip mustards swashbuckling 49 in 07.Fetch!

chrissafc

lead is up to 130 now

CollingwoodFTM

Tavare was brought into the Ashes side of 81 to be the stable batsman. His knocks at Old Trafford of 69 and 78 were as vital as botham's 118 as he added steel to the England batting line up. He was boring to watch, but his job was not ensure he did not chuck his wicket away.

bryn

got binocular couple next to me....why?

BrianT

Boycott did the same in a John Player final, and he wasn't quick.

chrissafc

i think someone mentioned it was moved but not totally sure. this 2nd batting point was crucial. keep it going.

BrianT

Well done Phil. We seem to be enjoying a long overdue slice of luck and batting is becoming difficult again. Champion!

chrissafc

money is the name of the game now. the concerts are worth a fortune to clubs now. just rugby at murrayfield, lovely stadium mind

Ridgeley

Do they play cricket at murrayfield? And what was that cheating argentinian doing there?

chrissafc

aye it doesn't look good. i was at murrayfield (stadium tour) on monday and madonna done the same to their pitc a few weeks back. all looking good again now, hope it's the case for durham as well.

Stan Drop

I was at school with Chris Tavaré. You're showing your age stuart!

Ridgeley

Chrissafc i was sat in the county durham stand yesterday and i see what you mean about what tom jones has done!

chrissafc

possibly stuart. just as well we're 100 runs ahead :)

Ridgeley

Good knock from Colly. Take a bow lad.

marchy22

great effort colly

chrissafc

wicket

Ridgeley

Im thinking of proposing to Victoria Pendleton

stuartp

@ 13 tests per year Cook would do it in 9 years. End of 2021. But there is never any guarantee in life. He could be dropped, he could retire due to injuries, the Test match game may fall apart under the pressure of 20/20.

marchy22

havent scored a run for a while, come on lads keep the scoreboard ticking

marchy22

so cook will have to play ten more years to get to 200, no guarantees he will be playing for england in 8-10 years

Ridgeley

How Yvette you dont seem with today if i may be so cheeky!

marchy22

i bet you a fiver now he doesnt play 200 tests for england

marchy22

i doubt any player will play 200 tests for england, you would have to start at 16 and not miss a game for 20+ years

stuartp

Whats the betting on Taylor being the first player to notch up 200 tests for England?

stuartp

10+ years, maybe 15 if he turns out to be as good as he has looked so far.

marchy22

aye notts must be chuffed with signing taylor, have him for a half a season and realistically should be an england regular for the next ten years at least

stuartp

I think Bell will move up to 4, Taylor at 5 and Bopara at 6.

marchy22

so who does everyone think will replace kp at 4 in the england test side

peter_brent

excellent session. Min 93 runs this one please.

bryn

If there was a hot tub here today id die a happy man!

Ridgeley

Id still have selected Blackwell tho....

Stan Drop

Good session.85 runs and only one wicket. Fine knock from benks. A bit more like the Durham of old. Same again next session please.

BrianT

Radio said that if they get one of these out they'll be right into the tail. Not sure if I would class Scotty as a tailender. Also the last three have improved their batting this season and can all get the odd 20 or so. Hope they were listening.

chrissafc

aye, plenty left.

chrissafc

borthwick and thorp also

chrissafc

well done durham

CollingwoodFTM

Mystique Yvette.

Stan Drop

Over optimistic there Yvette!

Stan Drop

" Daddy, what's a batting point?" "Well son, when I was your age we used to get them in every game ..."

marchy22

haway mustard half century from you plz

Tynevalleyblackcat

First target, lets get to that first bonus point without losing another wicket.

chrissafc

Durham lead by 61 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

chrissafc

massive boost if we can win this game. in a good position at the moment

marchy22

worcs started well aginst warks

Ridgeley

Any feedback on my dog membership enquiry?

chrissafc

i assume sms must be down as "via sms" has been quiet

chrissafc

i'm supporting the team as much as work allows me. if people dont like my opinion then tough.

Ridgeley

Aapierre 'you lot' ????????

aapierre

I tend to think BrianT is asking you lot to simply keep it positive and support their efforts as opposed to spending negative energy complaining that this one or that one isn't good enough. It seems a fair request to me

marchy22

does anyone know if jennings has a professional contract with the club?

marchy22

i think thats what he is saying, we cant have an opinion

chrissafc

give what a rest? having an opinion?

Ridgeley

A lead of 250 would do this cowboy very nicely

marchy22

so would i chris the lad has done brilliantly when in the team, cant see what mustard has done to get straight back in, well played colly

marchy22

beat me to it chris lol

marchy22

wood looks good, coughlin seems quite a good prospect at 18 too, jennings has be in the team the rest of the season and from the start of the next and find a place for richardson or we will lose him

chrissafc

thats 1st innings marchy i think thats what emmo said on radio nufc yesterday

marchy22

average score at the riverside this year 122

chrissafc

agreed

marchy22

durham are in need of a change but the change has to be built around these two quality pros

marchy22

100 partnership, fantastic colly and benks

marchy22

28 and he thinks he has serious ambition to play test cricket for england, does he not realise how many bowlers would be ahead of him, at least ten

marchy22

boyd ranking retiring from ireland after the 2020 world cup citing ambitions to play test cricket for england, is he being serious lol

Stan Drop

Oodles of time so bat all day if we can.

stuartp

Any lead is good, batting points are a bonus, but the win in this game is essential for Durham.

marchy22

Well in benks. What should we be looking at for our first innings score

Stan Drop

G'day all! 132/4. Moving slightly ahead now but still several more laps to go before we can claim gold.

Noz

Morning all. Got back from Florida at 415 this morning but hoping to be there for start of play! :-)

marchy22

thanks

marchy22

any highlights of yesterdays play yvette?
