Why is Karvelas not playing? Is he injured? Didn't play the Buckinghamshire match either.

Well, not a great start to our One Day Cup campaign.
Durham 116-0 after 15 overs.
Plenty of boundary balls, wides, misfields and a couple of overthrows for good measure.
Not for the first time this season, our bowling attack is found wanting.
None of our bowlers has looked to have any control, let alone been a wicket taking threat. Other than the missing Karvelas, not a lot in reserve for the rest of the campaign if we need to change things, unless we want to turn to Hunt, Adkin, Lenham or Foreman.

We could be looking at chasing 500 here...
Any chance of rain?

We’ve taken 6 wickets for 19 runs. Did anyone place a bet on that happening?

To lose by 132 runs against a Durham side missing Stokes, Wood, Potts, Raine, Carse and Robinson was a complete and utter embarrassment. We were second best in all three disciplines. The players need to take a hard look at themseles in the mirror. The stark reality is they maybe looking for an alternative career this autumn.

That was a proper spanking against a team that themselves got soundly beaten in their first game by Worcs. It augurs very badly but in one day cricket, fortunes can fluctuate, so fingers crossed for a big improvement next time. Pencil Steve Finn in for his next game late in 2025.

Steve Finn contract should be termianted with immediate effect. Unforutately his body cannot live up to the rigours of county cricket.

The reality is we were beaten by 2 very special innings, was a pleasure to be there and see it.

I suspect the club was out of pies for lunch because they had all been served up by the Sussex bowlers before then.
