EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
Imagine being a Durham bowler at the start of day 2, bowling to a bloke who's already scored 226.Sounds like a good toss to lose.
If it is a 3 day game I would expect Warwickshire to declare overnight. If that happens it will spare those Durham bowlers some real pain. That pitch must be a belter or the Durham bowlers are worse than average.
Just had look and it is a four day match so maybe the Durham pain will continue for a little longer? Also noticed that Scott Boland is one of the bowlers,he has 0/54. Another Durham bowler is Matthew Potts who has played Test cricket for England he has 0/88.
I can recall Underwood bowling to Greg Chappell in a test in England in the mid 1970's, and when Chappell played forward to a ball that was pitched on a good length it bounced straight up and hit him in the throat.Derek Underwood was possibly the most accurate bowler I ever saw. In 86 Tests over 16 years 'Deadly' had an economy rate of 2.10 runs per over.
He had a brisk pace for a spinner but could drop his pace when required. An outstanding player for sure.
Sad to note his passing.
My favourite Derek Underwood story comes from the 1974/75 Ashes series in Australia. On day 1 of the First Test, Lillee and Thomson had wreaked havoc on the Pommy top order, and it appeared certain that they'd be dismissed for a very low score. But then Underwood strode to the wicket, and he proved to be a much tougher nut to crack. He frustrated the Aussies for well over an hour, until skipper Ian Chappell finally threw the ball to the man with the golden arm, Doug Walters.
Dougie's first ball was a waist high full toss outside off stump. Underwood's eyes lit up, and he tried to smash it through the off side. However the ball connected with the outer half of the bat, and the man at cover was presented with a straightforward catch. The Aussies congregated around Walters to congratulate him - Dougie just holds up a hand and says, "Thanks boys. But I really think that most of the credit needs to go to Underwood here - a lesser batsman wouldn't have got a bat to that."
I think I’m right in saying they’re using Kooka’s in the first part of the season and Dukes in the back halfEnglish County Championship last night - Durham wins the toss and puts Warwickshire in to bat. At stumps, it's 1 for 490.......
Australian selectors have rejected the temptations offered by precocious talent Jake Fraser-McGurk and will rely on a core group of established cricketers in a bid to become the first nation to be world champions in all three formats of the sport at the same time. David Warner, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh (capt), Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Ashton Agar, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis.
The coach is the least of the Redbacks problems.Obviously Diz left his stint as Redbacks Coach off of his CV.

Bit of a shame not too include him.

Today is a day of celebration - the IPL is finally over. It's been going since March 22.
Yay - now we're straight into the T20 World Cup. Any risk of seeing some proper cricket any time soon???????

SEN Cricket Commentator Bharat Sundaresan has been joining Whateley on Tuesday's for the last few weeks to discuss the IPL, ever since Jake Fraser-McGurk started going berserk.
He discusses the Australian players form who played in the IPL and going to the IPL. Said 5 are in strong/good form - Starc, Cummins, Head, Green and Stoinis, heading into the WC.
He reckons the final was watched by about 700 million people across TV and digital platforms as the IPL now has 2 broadcasters.
Haha, at the end he gives his interpretation to holding the ball, given Whateley's and others discussion about it for the last week or so. He says his simple understanding is footy is that it's a game of perpetual motion, so if you are impeded in any way, to that perpetual motion, you get penalised - pay holding the ball.
