I'm sorry if these issues have already been discussed as I was out of the country during the Somerset game but I dont understand the choice of bowling attack for the Somerset game, Plunkett is very expensive still as is Harmison, and I dont know what Calydon did to be left out or why Brathwaite is constantly ignored, also think Richardson should come in for Collingwood

It was Stuart Hutton v Herefordshire 1995. 255 or 258,
BrianT
Meant to type "highest". Other batter may have been Glendenning but my memory has been ruined by Stella and overwork. Sure some anorak will come up with more definitive answer.

Hight one day partnership is, I believe, Michael Roseberry and I'm sorry I can't recall the other player but he was a local. Natwest Trophy v a minor county. Think it may have been in excess of 300. Anyway well done to all of the team today

season though!

Brandonia: Great job by Rocky and Colonel. I said of reserve judgement til after we've batted and what a win. Still want us to get an overseas in for the
Mark
Just back home, I missed all of the Scotland innings and must admit to being a little worried. However Mustard & Stoneman were superb. One of the best run chases I've seen-the bowlers caused virtually no problems at all and run out looked most likely mode of dismissal.
CollingwoodFTM
Great win lads. Keep it going.
Tristan
get in. great days cricket for durham & england
Win!
Durham win by 8 wickets with Stoneman finishing unbeaten on 136 and Muchall on 12

just looked at stokes cricinfo stats, surprisingly for a player who looks built for one day cricket his numbers are far far more attractive in the longer form
keenasmustard
Ideal situation for Stokes just to go BANG, BANG, BANG, Goodnight.

A bit of a change from last Sunday. Well played lads. Plunkett should have signed my mates hat last week at the Oval.

dont mind £75 for ashes mind, wouldn't miss it for the world.

i think durham might get a huge shock when they see the crowd for the 20/20 game v safrica. Footy season will of started. lot of football fans from this area go to 20/20.

Chrissafc plunkett went for 61
safcftm33
I agree brian t.
BrianT
Liam Plunkett is not a bad cricketer. He needs encouragement and he ain't getting it here at Durham.
Tristan
plunkett finishes with 1-52 off 5 overs. what must rushworth & brathwaite be thinking!
first innings finish
Saltires finish on 258/4 with Symes finishing on 110 (bowled off the last ball) and Mommsen 31*
4:34pm
keenasmustard
Symes finally gone although he was going anyway, what with it being the last ball
safcftm33
Good old windies! haha. Plunkett needs some serious coaching about one day bowling!!!

PIP THOMSON: come on lads let's have lots of home runs in the 2nd half and cheer these miserable folks up! Wooooooo

Chrissafc 241-3 1 to go
keenasmustard
Looks like Cricinfo is all over the place. Claydon is bowling more than allowed. We'd best rely on Brian Hunt.
safcftm33
Put it also states claydon has bowled 9!!!
via SMS
Chrissafc onions bowling his last over now
keenasmustard
Looks like cricinfo is wrong. Add up the total of overs our bowlers have bowled and it comes to one less than the total overs so it looks like Onions has bowled 7.
Update
Symes is flying towards 3 figures as the score moves onto 237/3 with 2 left
4:24pm
via SMS
Chrissafc 237-3 2 to go
raydetmold
according to crickinfo , he has only bowled 6 , though it must of been a mistake.
keenasmustard
It's his 6th over according to Cricinfo
Mackem_Dave
Onions has just bowled his 7th over (37) and will bowl the 39th. 8 overs I think?

Exactly what I was thinking raydetmold!
raydetmold
could somebody please explain why Graham Onions will not be bowling his allocation of overs ? , many thanks
safcluke
Mackem_Dave - Durham have a bowling coach. Alan Walker.
200
Saltires bring up 200 as the batting powerplay is taken and they look for a strong finish. Symes is on 79 and Mommsen on 19
4:06pm
keenasmustard
Alan Walker is the bowling coach
safcftm33
Good point Dave!!! This season the whole team has been woeful, batting, bowling, fielding and captaincy all have been awful pretty much.
Mackem_Dave
Does anyone know if Durham have a bowling coach? Harmison (CC) and Plunkett are bowling like drains. Borthwick has regressed and Stokes is rarely fit to bowl. Also now that Mark Davies has left he is always fit and taking wickets! Strange times.

Chrissafc scotland are enjoying this. So comfortable 162-2 not even at 30 overs.
BrianT
So we do have an overseas player then, and he's called Jennings!
safcftm33
I know it frustrates me how we dont have an overseas player. And hows it worse marchy?
keenasmustard
Symes plays in the same SA side as our own Keaton Jennings.
marchy22
Just when u think it couldn't get any worse
Mackem_Dave
I remember a time in the distant past when Durham had an overseas player. Ah they were the days.....

Scotlands overseas player isnt it? South african?

Mackem_Dave
By Mustard!!!!

By Mustard!!!!
Mackem_Dave
Excellent one handed catch bypassed off Claydon
safcftm33
Add Plunkett into that aswell actually. Very concerning this indeed Dave!
safcftm33
The younger boys have struggled today Harrison and Borthwick both conceding quite a few runs. Two dropped catches now great eh? Nevermind.
Mackem_Dave
Claydon drops another, poor bowling by Plunkett and Borthwick. this is concerning
Chance!
Tough chance offered by Macleod down to deep square off Collingwood but it goes down, the score moves to 119/1 off 22
3:12pm
safcftm33
Possibly yes, but think 250 is a bit steep with onions and mitch still with overs left.
keenasmustard
If we don't take wickets I reckon we could be chasing 250

Certainly looks like we will be chasing 220+.

Mackem_Dave: Thanks for the insight. And Mark yerp makes sense i suppose yer.
Mark
If Scots strength is in their batting I can see why Colly would want us to chase. Mi
Mackem_Dave
The wicket looks very good to bat on and the outfield is quick. Short boundary on the pavilion side. So Durham should be able to chase any score posted.
Bowling change
Borthwick replaces Claydon
2:44pm

First wicket down! Onions draws a leading edge out of Davey who is caught at Mid off by Stoneman.
2:17pm
Mark
He certainly is safc.
safcftm33
Hope they dont! We really need to get to winning ways. And Mark: Surely the skipper is due a big one?
Mark
I'm coming down later this afternoon hopefully to see some good Durham batting.
Mark
Scotland also beat us here-think it was the first time they'd played us in the 40 over comp. Not that I think they will do it again today!
Mark
Scotland are dangerous, think they've already won one game this year(against Notts?) My impression is their strength is in the batting but I might be wrong about that.
safcftm33
Oh well thats good then. Good bowling or is it moving around a bit? Mackem_Dave: Would like to think not!!!
Mackem_Dave
First visit to the Emirates this season, surely even Durham can't lose to Scotland?
Bowling change
Claydon on for Harrison
2:11pm
response to safcftm33
Not a bad start, both Macleod and Davey have hit a couple of nice drives. Onions is beating the edge regularly

It starts!
Harrison opens the bolwing, starts with a no ball and the free hit is hit over mid wicket for 6
1:47pm
Mark
I think Blackwell was only in the squad because Breese is injured. He hasn't been in the squad for the first 2 one day games and Smith played a great innings in the first one. Will is also a much better fielder.
raydetmold
i know absolutely nothing about cricket , Smith in front of Blackwell in a one dayer
marchy22
Smith coming in for Blackwell?
brandonia
Thought the skipper would want the Scots to toil in the field in this heat first!
Team changes
There are two changes to the Durham Team with Smith coming in for Blackwell and Harrison coming in for Rushworth. For the Saltires Watts comes in for Flannigan
