    Seeing this said about Marcus North a lot, but is it really as big as they’re making out? Campbell is still in charge of the dressing room and nothing much has changed on a player personnel perspective.

    Durham County Cricket Club

    I had a read of the Members Evening thread, it doesn’t make for very good reading. Nor does the current scorecard, although I have to say, the direction of travel for this current side, twinned with my exclusion from that place has allowed me to really switch off from it all if I’m honest...

    I see you’ve all abandoned me over here 😂 Another defeat looms, is relegation happening?

    Somerset away tomorrow, our record there in the Championship is pretty horrific.

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Gill was one of the batsmen that benefited from favourable umpiring from the Bangladeshi.

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Your first post on this thread was to bemoan the bias of Paul Reiffel. I’m merely pointing out that India were the beneficiaries of some questionable umpiring decisions too. I reiterate my stance however that there is no conspiracy, just human beings making errors of judgement in the split...

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Three Indian batsmen were given not out by the Bangladeshi umpire on the first morning of the second Test despite the technology showing the ball would’ve hit the stumps. There is no conspiracy.

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Absolutely. I reiterate, both teams were a disgrace, in county cricket teams are docked points if their over rate is -2 for the entire game and of course all overs have to be bowled no matter how long it takes. The two teams in question here were closer to -10.

    Thanks for that, do you also believe the earth is flat?

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Many people believe they’re one and the same. This sort of decision does little to dissuade that thinking.

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Only the winner being docked points is ridiculous and nonsensical. As for the biased umpiring, I’m not going down that rabbit hole, you’re talking utter bollocks, but look objectively at the performance of the Bangladeshi umpire in the second Test. Moreover, why have you reached for the...

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    Terrible isn’t it? Especially at the prices currently being charged to watch Test Cricket in England.

    Points Docked for Slow Over Rate

    For England, but not India… Tell me the BCCI run the ICC without actually telling me the BCCI run the ICC 😂 Day 1 - India bowled 83 overs WITH the extra half hour (it was only 75 by 6pm). That’s 7 overs lost forever, 7 overs the paying public were robbed of. I’m not defending England, they...
