Tristan
funny they say plunkett's great strength is confidence
Mark
Butcher saying Plunkett bowled brilliantly
Mark
Apparently so Tristan
Tristan
they are positively gushing over him
Tristan
blacky is still out injured isnt he?
Mark
Butcher praising Borthwick
Mark
Definitely, poor umpiring not to give that out
safcftm33
Lets beat the yorkies on friday and push on in this t20 comp.!!!
Tristan
it was definitly a wicket
Tristan
i notice in the highlights of scottys bowling they havent been showing the lbw shout
safcftm33
Well deserved MOM!
Tristan
benks is a very astute, well spoken and likeable character, a real credit to durham
Mark
Well done Scotty
Stan Drop
Scotty gets MOM! Canny lad!
Mark
Benks speaking really well on interview, great man!
Stan Drop
Yes, Gibbs had the right balance of consolidation and aggression to get the innings going again
Mark
Liam or Myburgh man of the match for me although Gibbs plyed crucial innings
Tristan
gibbs got a fair chunk of runs but dont think he actually batted as well as myb or muchy
brandonia
Don't forget Hershy's knock too. I't like to see Scotty get it but I think Myburgh would be a fair choice.
Tristan
i imagine myburg will get it
Tristan
tricky, scotty bowled well but so did plunkett, myburgh batted well but so did muchy
Stan Drop
MOM? Borthwick for me. Probably Myburgh though.
Tristan
well done everyone concerned
Tristan
seems in good nick so far and we need runs in the cc, its a win win situ
Tristan
im thinking myburgh may be given a contract for the year off the back of this
keenasmustard
Good all round effort that.
brandonia
Well done boys, excellent effort from all - Namely Scotty, Plunky, Hersh, Mybz and Muchy. I love you all xoxoxoxoxoxox
foxbat
Good work lads excellent knock from Much and this Myburgh chap.
Tristan

Mark
Excellent, very good innings from Gordon-credit where it is due!

Tristan
we need a real spurt here but our big hitters are gone now, only pudsey left
christoff
steadying the ship just lost a couple of wickets
brandonia
Jeeze, we need 9 an over and there's 2 forward defensives.....
Tristan
ive burst a blood vessel or three
via SMS
Chrissafc nicely does it back to the bowler with a straight bat. Haway man
Tristan
simon crabtree?
Tristan
gary neville, southgate & dixon much of a muchness i find, they know their stuff but cant say it interestingly imo
brandonia
Gary Neville is about the only decent one.
via SMS
Chrissafc bogged down here
Tristan
obvious one i forgot, martin emmerson!!
Mark
Jeremy Coney is good as well, totally mad but very entertaining!
Tristan
in football i quite like linekar. dixon, southgate both fairly good but dull. any others?
christoff
damn just when we were going so well, come on Gordon!!!!
Wicket...
Benks is caught behind off Naved for 1. Dynamos 87-4, Muchall joins Myburgh 28*.

Tristan
bumble, gower, nass, beefy, holding, aggers, blowers, vic marks, butcher etc etc with probably tons ive left out
keenasmustard
Damn.
Tristan
brandy: struggle to think of a decent studio you could together in football. i couldnt pick my top 5 cricket team though
Tristan
great time for a wicket for derby. lets hope we can get a spurt from benky
brandonia
Great point Tristy. Football commentators are vile.
Wicket...
Gibbs is bowled by Wainwright on 38 - sturdy innings! Dynamos 86-3, 56 required off 7.2 overs. Benks joins Myburgh.
9:27pm
brandonia
Good effort Hersh.
Tristan
exploding stumps :(
Tristan
he takes no prisoners in the box that is for sure!
Mark
Agreed Tristan-I remember a 'classic' Willis commentary-batsman played a huge slog and was dropped. Bob said 'it was a poor ball, a worse shot and pathetic fielding'
Tristan
we are so blessed in cricket, the sky team are spot on, the bbc team are brilliant anarl. compare it to the dribbling and mundane charlatans presenting football!
christoff
anyone going on friday? hopefully we will have a bigger crowd than sunday it was a disapointing turn out
brandonia
Love Boycs me!
Tristan
when i say that i mean the same as boycott, love/hate them both
Tristan
love/hate willis, like boycott. very forth right & honest, sometimes spot on and sometimes totally ludicrous
keenasmustard
Gibbs rolls bak the years.
Six!
Huuuuge six from Gibbs, he's up to 36* and the Dynamos need 60 more runs from 9 overs.
9:23pm
brandonia
GET IN GIBBSY!!
Tristan
Yvette; very nice it is too, although i must admit im glad it is only for t20, im quite conservative - with a little c i must stress!!
Mark
It's a shame Bob Willis isn't commentating tonight. He is hilarious-although I know lots of people dislike him.
christoff
fair comment about mitch sure he would admit it himself
Tristan
just need a little explosion here to get it down to around a run a ball
Tristan
apart from when they suggested mitch claydon was not the most agile in the field, although that was the other guy wot said it
Tristan
full of praise for our bowling mind
Mark
haha yes!
brandonia
I'm sure he is a nice bloke but he seems to keep picking fault with us.
Tristan
good at hacking up meat too i imagine
Mid way
We're mid way through our innings, 70-2, another 72 to notch up!
9:19pm
Mark
Very talented musician as well
Mark
Butcher's a nice guy, sure he doesn't mean any harm!
Tristan
i like mark butcher as a commentary bloke. probably the only one outside the test team worth his salt
christoff
like i said very much like smith good at nudging around quick between the wickets couple of nice cover drive and a lovely pick up off leg stump for six
brandonia
I'd love to know what Butcher's problem is with Durham. Div.
Response to Tristan
Standard blue with the exception of t20, where we change to red, we were able to do it as t20 is played in one chunk of the season.
9:18pm
Tristan
first time ive seen myburgh play, if that is directed at me then of course i am!
Mark
chris-how did Muchall play against Notts? I wasn't there but looking at the scorecard it seemed like an odd innings-very slow scoring.
Update
Dynamos 62-2....80 more runs is the target...hope you're cheering on our new boys!
9:17pm
Tristan
does this mean its going to be white for 4 day cricket?
christoff
going along nicely here, keep it going lads
Response to Tristan
You're welcome!
9:15pm
Response to Tristan
Thank you for noticing! Themed red for t20 to match the kit. First member of our staff to spot it thought the website had crashed!
9:14pm
Tristan
yvette; thanks for helping sort out the yearbook & DVD i was very much appreciated
keenasmustard
Surely that was a no-ball for height.
Mark
I think Smudge is unlucky not to be playing, brilliant fielder and a useful bowler in t20
Tristan
hello lads n lasses. just thought id pop on quickly to say 'ooh look the dccc page is red now!'
After 8 overs
Eight overs gone and we're 49-2...Gibbs 18* and Myburgh 14*...92 runs required...come on Dynamos!
9:13pm
brandonia
Aye, very true about Smudge.
christoff
he reminds me a lot like smith only seem him once in the notts game like
brandonia
He's got a nice technique like. Seems strong for such a little fella too!
christoff
oh well lets hope he is the answer
brandonia
I see what you're saying christoff, that said - Hants got relegated so perhaps they should've tried him!
Mark
Chris, a couple of Hampshire fans on a message board I use rate Myburgh highly and reckon he was badly treated at the club.
brandonia
Naved looks like a hobo.
brandonia
Hopefully he's the answer to our batting problems!!
Latest
Dynamos 40-2 after the 7th over, Gibbs 17* and Myburgh 6*
9:08pm
SixSixEight
At least the wides are cancelling out our ones somewhat.
christoff
short term fix I reckon, he could not get a game for Hampshire last year
keenasmustard
We're getting them in wides.
BrianT
Room for him and Colly if he performs consistently. He has obvious ability and if he fits in he's got a chance. Also read that he ain't an overseas player.
Mark
Agree Brandy, I think Geoff will just be looking at him to see how well he fits in, if he makes a good impression then Geoff might want to sign him for the rest of the season.
Myburgh
Current contract is for t20 only. He can bat and adds a bowling option to cover Colly's absence.
9:03pm
brandonia
In fairness though, you can't really judge a mans allround ability on T20 alone.
Mark
Yes, I assume one of the main reasons he was signed for t20 is because of the injury to Colly
Latest
Five overs gone and we're 28-2...114 runs required.
9:02pm
BrianT
I'm sure I read that a short term contract is to see whether he is worth a longer one. No need to decide yet.
Mark
He might well get a contract extension.
brandonia
I'd give him a go in the CC me like.
christoff
yes he is brandy
Mark
Only t20 so far. One month contract
BrianT
Our music is no better. I sat there on Sunday wishing for a bit of Perry Como or Doris Day. Alas none was played.
Latest
Dynamos 24-2 after 4 overs, Gibbs 13* and Myburgh 1*

Can anyone within the club confirm whether Myburgh is signed only for T20 or for more?

I must say mind. The umpire could've frozen the frames!
Update
Well, that was a long wait! Onions returns for the 16th over, Derby just pass the hundred mark
8:10pm
BrianT
4 for 22 warms the heart. Liam could be on his way back and how we need him.
safcftm33
Durston Hughes Wainwright. Three good one day spinners.
keenasmustard
Think he's just got in.
Mark
Hopefully not but I fear they have!
brandonia
Have Derby got many spin options??
SixSixEight
Yes good bowling from Liam.

8:04pm
brandonia
YES!!
brandonia
Pudsy has bowled very well tonight like.....
keenasmustard
I know but the batsman moved across his stumps. Would have just hit his legs if he sttod his ground.
Mark
wicket!
brandonia
Anything down legside is a wide. Doesn't matter how close it is.
keenasmustard
Harsh calling that a wide. It almost hit the stumps.
brandonia
8 wides.

I agree with the SMS'er regarding Rushy.

ron burgundy
Maybe we could talk about players who we can actually pick??

ron are you suggesting that talk about tactics and what type of bowlers we should play in this format should also be banned. Do you want to start a topic of things we cannot discuss?

ron burgundy
Yvette can we have a ban on comments about Mark Davies, whther you agree or disagree with the decision get over it it he doesn't play for us anymore!!
Mark
Average first innings score is 149. It's a used pitch so batting 2nd might be tricky, hopefully we can restrict them to under 140.
keenasmustard
I'll never understand why we let Davies go.

There wasn't a minutes silence at this match. Our team were keen to wear black armbands and are doing so.

They're all wearing black armbands. Unsure as to the minutes silence.
keenasmustard
Did they have a minute's silence at the start? Sky don't appear to have shown it if they did.

The Surrey match that was postponed due to the sad news of Tom Maynard's death resulted in the Sky team staying at Derby and this game being elected as the replacement TV match.

Definitely winnable game tonight. Thankfully no delays because of good light now Derby have turned the wicket 90 degs.

Chrissafc just take what I said & move on I guess. On another subject I think its harsh on rushworth

Haway Dynamos!!! And yerp good point Dave.

No-one from the club ever comes out and explains team selection or evens explains who is injured and who is fit.

Chrissafc as I keep saying I'll be very shocked if blackwell is selected for any 1 day cricket. People need to accept that sadly
christoff
Howay lads big game tonight need to win this one, surprised to see rushy left out, stronger batting line up though
Mackem_Dave
It is disgraceful that Rushworth has been dropped. How bad does Plunkett have to play before he gets the chop?
raydetmold
still dont understand why hes not playing , he can win a game on his own inside 5 overs
mak
ray the blackie situation is really annoying me. i like the t20 version of the game and he should be in the starting XI
via SMS
Rushy dropped for Breese seems a strange one.
raydetmold
i hate critising Mak but Muchall should not be be playing in this form of the game in my opinion , we had 5 wickets left on sunday and still posted a pathetic score , sooner have a go and be all out for 100
