Like i say Dales lass, possibly cos we've lost so many days. Lost 2 against Somerset, 2 against Warwickshire, two ish against Lancs and our three wins have come in 2 and a bit days. Saying that the season is only 5 months long and a chunk of that is for 20 20, county season only 4 months really.

mac6

Will you be bringing the dog to last game

keenasmustard

If you can call it a season with all the rain we've had.

salmon

Well done lads, last game for me cant make Sussex game, booked for a weeks fishing. Off to E- bay maybe someone there likes 20/20

bryn

anyone going to sussex game in fancy dress?

chrissafc

3 days of cricket left for me, cant get time off for the last day of the season, probably last 3 days anyway

brandonia

I'm a bit upset there's only one game left like, winter is nearly upon us. It's all rather depressing.

mickeyboy

That'll do me. Well done boys and thanks to all for keeping me entertained over that last couple of days. I shall return...

brandonia

Plenty time left for Bunny and co to take 10 wickets here!

bryn

What yer after at wilkos tomb?

keenasmustard

If Peter Willey was umpiring we'd be half way home by now

auldtimer

They can't call a draw till 5.00.

brandonia

Aye, I've said for 4 days I'd settle for the draw but now we're in tho position I'm wanting to see our bowlers get stuck into them! Great performance though, the 10-7 points will just help nicely.

IAN

Well done lads excellent draw

brandonia

Anderson smashes Steyn's off-stump. Landed about 10 yards back!

BrianT

Bryn. Don't know. Made it up.

bryn

Tho the MEG arena has a canny ring to it!

tomb

Didnt the same happen to Notts a few years ago, won the title, then went down next year?

tomb

That sounded creepy, I meant watched their game as never seen live.

salmon

Seems to be great interest in my tickets can not even give them away!

tomb

Sorry Yvette

salmon

Well played all. Getting back to beards, so that is Amla,s secret weapon and i thopught it was religious

keenasmustard

32 according to Yvette but guy at Lancs has tweeted 33 left. Not that it matters.

tomb

How many overs are left then?

mickeyboy

All other 1st div games look like draws. Kent should win as need 4 more wickets

keenasmustard

We'll get 10 points out of this assuming our over rate is ok.

raydetmold

excellent effort , well played

salmon

Must admit i was looking forward to seeing the England women

BrianT

Job done Durham. 150 should be enough.

salmon

He will probably swear to that, Peter Reid i mean.

BrianT

Hway Tomb, there's a bloke on here trying to offload two tickets.

keenasmustard

Peter Reid is probably getting paid to be there.

marchy22

peter reid at the oval watching england

chrissafc

:)

chrissafc

just checked, we got 384 vs somerset.

chrissafc

we got 400 vs somerset didnt we?

keenasmustard

First time we've scored 400. Who would have thought we'd have done it here?

chrissafc

my brother flew over from melbourne for newcastle vs sunderland last season. sadly he's a newcastle fan though

tomb

All that to watch Sunderland. The mind boggles.

BrianT

Is there a time before tea when we can declare and not lose 2 overs? Tomb. Middlesbrough, a small club in Teesside. Impressed with the spelling?

mickeyboy

Only gave my season ticket up at SOL 5 years ago. Got to a point when getting up at 6:30am on day off to get 8:00 train got a bit tedious. Normally get to two 4 days games a year and go to all Southern games, hence my hope for Kent coming up

tomb

Who does your current vicar support?

BrianT

Only joking. Our vicar moved to Maidstone this year and now watches Kent and Maidstone Utd instead of Sunderland and Durham. He loves it.

mickeyboy

So are the people of the South

mickeyboy

Yeah - He said that, even though the BBC review said cricket should be maintained

tomb

No martin commentarys next year mickey. Shame.

tomb

Talikng of Grace, he would a great signing for us next season and the fake beards would sell well in the club shop.

tomb

Trouble is pierre, one day would be given out and the next not, so the players dont know whats going on.

tomb

Aah, caught me out there.

mickeyboy

Changed to 110 overs a couple of years ago didnt it?

tomb

We are arent we?

tomb

I sure hope so Marchy

mickeyboy

Brian - Is there anybody you do like?

BrianT

I just wrote and then thought about, and then deleted a long post about cheating. Don't want Notts to win it either.

marchy22

i got it done to me a couple of weeks ago and the umpire just laughed at the bowler and said not out

raydetmold

fantastic slower ball from Dernbach , nobody better at it

chrissafc

disgusting what he did. awful

Ed Syers

I think Kartik had every right to do what he did, the batsmen was already warned.

marchy22

oh right got you brian

marchy22

well batted colly

mickeyboy

Well batted lad. We carrying on?

marchy22

why kartik brian

salmon

Agree, bat till tea and then have a go at them, brill performance. I have 2 tickets and a red car pass for next saturdays 20/20 , can not get.No returns accepted. any offers?

marchy22

keep them out in the field all afternoon, get them knackered for their semi tomorrow dont want them winning the cb40, i would like to see surrey win that one for tom maynard

BrianT

I just hate London teams, and those who think they are London.

chrissafc

i see your point brian, just annoy them a bit. i cant imagine the venue changed amused our players/club

auldtimer

Bat till tea and call it a draw, no point in getting our bowlers to slog away on a flat dead track.

chrissafc

middlesex need 204 to beat worcester

mickeyboy

I remember after the 40 overs at Surrey saying how disappointing Colly had been...happily eating my words now

marchy22

middlesex need 203 to win

mickeyboy

Spoke with Colly at Lords earlier this season. I'd heard Sky were lining him up but he said no. He's committed to Durham and then wants to get into coaching

tomb

Ok, so if we get docked points for slow over rate and a bad wicket, realistically we wew safe. The captaincy seems to have spurred Colly on, his form was poor before and excellent since.

BrianT

Mathematically, two teams could catch us. I'm more bothered about catching teams ahead of us.

mickeyboy

Played Colly. auldtimer...fair play, not mathermatically safe

chrissafc

thorp

chrissafc

unleash throp for 10 minutes then declare

marchy22

well batted colly

chrissafc

100 for colly

auldtimer

Mickeyboy, we could still finish second off bottom with that result.

chrissafc

yeah i believe we are safe, i am just happy we are preventing lancs. spiteful what they did with the ground move

mickeyboy

meant Surrey batting ON

mickeyboy

Surrey batting and and Worcs hanging on. 2 draws there

chrissafc

a draw wud mean we've extended our points tally over lancs by 2. can't grumble with that

chrissafc

superb again from borthwick, he's been excellent lately

mickeyboy

Played Scotty lad. 5 over thrash and declare

marchy22

colly get ur century then free the arms and get a lead of 140 and have a go at them

aapierre

I prefer the chatter on here without the football stuff in it. Thats just my choice though

raydetmold

superb effort , different team without Smith & Muchall , should of been dropped ages ago

chrissafc

At New Road Worcs (323 & 161/8) lead Middx 306) by 178 runs with 2 wkts remaining. Kervezee 56*

chrissafc

350 up get in lads

chrissafc

closing in on another batting point here

marchy22

well batted borthwick

chrissafc

gerrin scotty lad

mickeyboy

The way it's going Lancs v Surrey last game will be winner takes all...and it's at Liverpool. If you're ever in the Kingsfield or Wards in Harrow...

tomb

Doesnt the chat on Sky and TMS wader away from the cricket as well during quiet periods, don't see anything wrong with that.

tomb

Think some footy chat is inevitable as lots of cricket fans are also footy fans and the vast majority are Mags or Mackems.

tomb

Does that mean you're buying the round Brandonia?

chrissafc

either way all going well for durham at the moment, thats the main issue.

mickeyboy

spoke too soon. Worcs 8 down with 160 lead

chrissafc

worcester may just squeeze a draw

CollingwoodFTM

Should read 15 overs.

mickeyboy

Worcs seem to be making a fight of it now

chrissafc

just as well cook didnt listen to the person on the sunderland message board who repeatedly keeps saying borthwick isnt worthy of a place

BrianT

That's fine for Surrey, they're not playing a six pointer. They're risking three points to win sixteen. We would be risking three points to give us or Lancs sixteen. It's not going to happen.

mickeyboy

Keep it going boys

Ed Syers

Why does Prior not play ODIs? Never made sense to me.

marchy22

3rd batting bonus point

marchy22

prior should be our one day wicket keeper, he is a class player

tomb

Lancashire hot pot takes a lot of eating

marchy22

nearly 50 min lunch break?

tomb

Its come on a lot, looks more like a European city than a northern 'mill' town. Probably my fav city in the UK

tomb

Leeds is a great city, went again for the 20 20, plenty of good pubs. Lots of beautiful women although not many of these seemed to be on their way to the cricket.

BrianT

Don't know about bitter old blokes Tomb. Except on cricket chat lines. Just had a holiday in Yorks and it was class. Lots of beautiful young women, however the wedding ring and 40 year age gap rather stunted my progress.

tomb

Must be a lot of folk coming up from other parts of the country for the match then. Barmy Army usually complain when they have to leave the sarf......

mickeyboy

My mother & sister live in Meadowfield and they have spare rooms and could fit us all in

tomb

I always thought there would be more women in paradise? Still, if bitter old Yorkshire blokes are more up your street....

tomb

Have you tried the Lambton Hounds in pity me?

BrianT

It's a state of mind.

BrianT

An hour and a bit down the road, drop wife at shops and on to cricket. My idea of paradise

mickeyboy

Living down here...I'm just being selfish

BrianT

Would prefer Yorks to come up. Sick of Southern trips. Rather have 4 days in Yorks than Kent. No disrespect to Kent but it's full of lorries.

tomb

New restaurant has opened up in Durham near Varsity, celebrating the origin of Mustard in Durham. All staff have had specialist training to advise customers on the right mustard to have with their dish.

mickeyboy

Tomb - What happened to German Mustard?

tomb

All mustard is made in relatively the same way. The seed must be crushed, its hull and bran sifted out or not depending on type of mustard being made. It then may or may not go through further grinding and crushing. A liquid such as water, wine, vinegar, beer, or a combination of several of these liquids is added, along with seasonings and perhaps other flavorings. The mustard is mixed, in some cases simmered, and then cooled.

chrissafc

brilliant from borthwick mind

marchy22

yeah me too, would be nice for davies to have a return to the emirates

marchy22

and hampshire maybe

tomb

Sour grapes maybe but thought Lancs were the poorest team I've seen take the title last year. Hope Old Traford gets sorted soon as possible. W should have beaten them at home, we had the game won and they would have been doomed already.

mickeyboy

Both spinners back on. Bat on lads

marchy22

leicester 2 down, kent still in the hunt for promotion

tomb

Will take a draw here and against Sussex all day long. My autumn and winter will be much happier with us still in Div 1.

tomb

Dont give the Lancys a sniff.

auldtimer

No point in declaring until we get as many batting points as possible, every extra point we get now puts us further away from trouble.

raydetmold

happy with that for the Toon , no long distances to travel

keenasmustard

Was our run rate ok when we bowled? Just hoping we don't lose any points for that.

tomb

I hope we dont give it away chasing a win we dont need.

tomb

Colly has really come good in the second half of the season after a slow start. Just bat on, don't want a slog fest and don't want to see Lancs stay up on the back of some bizarre run chase. Van Der Vaart to Hamburg, and Berbatov to Spurs?

chrissafc

Durham RR 3.15 Last 10 ovs 49/0 RR 4.90

marchy22

how many times will england drop amla on his way to another hundered

mickeyboy

Looks like Kent have set Leicester 282 at about 4 an over

marchy22

ive just looked and roland-jones from middlesex has 65 championship wickets

brandonia

Whilst the winner in me would love to see a bit of action this afternoon, one thing we must do is get to 300, it would be careless of us to give up the possibility of bonus points. If we get to 300 it would also mean a draw would see us gain extra points on Lancs. Worcester also got 300 in their first innings as did Surrey so it just keeps them all at arms length.

marchy22

i deont think we will, no point in giving them a little chance, bat on and they will be nailed on for relegation

marchy22

worcs look like losing against middlesex

chrissafc

we seem to be upping our run rate

chrissafc

50 up for colly, superb

mickeyboy

I agree. If we can get a lead of 100ish they will be totally demoralised and there for the kill

davidhchess

Well, here at Liverpool, looking at our batting I would avoid any risk of losing!

Tynevalleyblackcat

I agree Ed, and even if we don't an early declaration by them could be on the cards.

CollingwoodFTM

Just get the batting points lads. Thanks for the responses on the points lads, I looked at it and could not work it out clearly. Glad it is not just me.

Mark

I would bat on for as long as possible. No need for any risks at this stage so we should try and bat them completely out of the game. If the last 4 wickets go down quickly I'd also go on the defensive when Lancs bat again-make sure they can't score quickly.

marchy22

its available, not sure they will take it

Tynevalleyblackcat

I don't see a big risk Chris and sometimes you need to take a risk to get a reward. There is nothing to say Lancs would put us back in anyway.

mickeyboy

I'm with you Chris...bat, bat and bat on

Tynevalleyblackcat

I don't see any real point in pressing on past 250. If (and its a big if), Lancs are thinking about setting us a smallish target, then we might as well assist them to do it as its in our favour. The longer we bat, the less likely they will take that option.

chrissafc

not sure. 34 behind is decent, just got to keep going, first target to get to 250

raydetmold

what times the europa league group draw on ?

raydetmold

Chris , are sunderland actually playing in europe ? haha

chrissafc

i'm off to swansea 6am in the morning

mickeyboy

Ray & Brian - Agreed

BrianT

Neither team emerged with any credit. Childish interviews on TV. So what have we learned that we didn't know already? Batsmen shouldn't encroach. Kartik and Batty bad sports. Trescothick is a whinger. Nowt new really.

mickeyboy

On the Taunton run out. I was always told that as a bowler you ask the umpire to warn the batsman. Kartik did not do this he just told Barrow to stay in his crease

marchy22

runs are really drying up, must be turning alot

Tristan

well done gidman! he's nee ottis gibson mind

safcluke

Will Gidman will take all 10 wickets.

marchy22

gloucs have set yorks 313 in about 84 overs to win

Tristan

poor old mustard - back to back centuries saw him moved up the order in the cc team and since then he's failed to reach double figures iirc

Haslam

Hard to say Collingwood as, in theory Worcester and Surrey could still get - i think - as many as 157 points (if they get every one on offer). A draw and say 3 batting points would put us on 137. Realistically that's enough to be safe though.

chrissafc

well in durham

marchy22

1st batting point in the bag

brandonia

Afore long the word football will be ******'d out like night-watchman is!!!!! Then the Gestapo will be at your door!

Haslam

ps. Very bright and sunny, with some clouds around. Not that warm though!

Haslam

Pretty sure we'll just be looking at getting as many batting points as possible. If we're in after lunch on 300+ then only chance of result is a Lancs. collapse and we have a draw and some points in the bag at least. Nothing silly this morning, gentle runs please.

brandonia

Nah, I've revised my earlier desire, I suppos i'd settle for that now though.

Tristan

400-6 brandy ;)

brandonia

Morning all. Quest for batting points this morning. Hopefully we'll declare at lunch on 400-4 and bowl them out this aft!

Tristan

richardson 39* surely?

chrissafc

just think its poor to see.

Tristan

@chrissafc - im missed the actual replay of it but tbh he had been warned already so for me it's fair enough

chrissafc

good morning, all set for us to get some batting points i hope.

daleslass

Morning chrissafc
