Update Soon
We were definately better this innings getting to 0/32 only giving one or two chances. We are hoping we can continue on this form for the last two remaining sessions.
Sadly we lost PaulNixon first over next session. It was bad batting. Straight ball and he missed it. You cant miss the straight ones. A bit of a waste.
The other two batsman pushed on pretty quickly getting t othe 50 partnership.
Not long after FeelingBlue? got himself to 50 with a beautiful cut shot having surpassed GrayNicholls score.
GrayNicholls celebrated his wonderful innings after running a quick two to bring up his fifty.
Next over brought up the 100 run partnership. This was the start we needed last innings. We are improving and I think we will have a few rotations next match.
The two batsman batted out the session with a few boundaries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iloveireland announced at tea that he would be bringing in a 'rotation' policy where some of the players would get games off so they could really see who is good and he could see who was worth keeping for the next season.
A quarter of the way through the last session of the match we lost FB just after he and GrayNicholls got their 150 run partnership. It was a very controversial decesion and I am not sure it was an edge. PakCricketer was to come in next.
GrayNicholls was very edgy when he got to 99 after a few boundaries. It took a good word from PakCricketer too calm him down to keep him going. It seemed to the boys that these two had become best friends so Iloveireland tried to bat them together. They knew each other well and enjoyed each others company. Finally GrayNicholls got to 100 with a quick single. He hit it straight to mid on and ran and make it ; just.
Pakcricketer nearly had to go off after being hit in the back by a nasty ball by Plunkett. He then edged the next ball safely and this worried GrayNicholls. It seemed that PakCricketer was more badly injured then he was letting on. it seemed GrayNicholls may have been right with PakCricketer taking a slog at a straight ball and was out Plumb LBW.
Two balls later was another 'debateable' decision with Afridi out for 1. Durham were back in form and although the match was going to be a draw Iloveireland was hoping for all his batsman to get their confidence back.
A couple of overs later we lost Mathers LBW. It was a 50-50 decision. ZoraxDoom was to come in next.
Zorax had an edgy start surviving a LBW decision. He hit back thought almost hitting the bowler for six. Two overs later he was clean bowled.
WELL ALL IN ALL NOT A BAD FIRST GAME. HOPEFULLY WE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND DO GOOD IN THE NEXT OD MATCH
