Northants obviously hoping it will spin, as we've gone in with only two and a half pace bowlers plus Harrison, Chahal, Kimber, Zaib and McSweeney.

Isn't that relatively normal for you that your a team of all rounders/part timers.
Chahal being not your normal selection but a better spinner than the rest.
Lees plumb off Chahal not giving before lunch. But the one that did was going to spin past leg stump. Felt like umpire correcting his mistake. But Lees was looking lost.
Bedders very postitive yet again. Agarwal enjoyed both leggies in that short spell before the rain delay. Bodes well if he keeps playing that way for us.

Seems like we made a decision to play the extra batsman, hence Kimber has come in for Liam Guthrie. Would usually be one of Guthrie / Weatherall / Conway alongside Sanderson and Procter.
A Jury didn't find him innocent they found him not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. There is a difference. Same way OJ was not guilty at the criminal trial cause his lawyers could show enough doubt but lose at the civil trial because the burden of proof isn't as high.
A sporting team has a duty to adhere to a certain moral standard. Hiring kuggelejein when you have a women's team goes completely against that.
Scott can go and start a Sunday league team with guys who share his feelings...
Should also look at the owners. He plays for some of their t20 teams.

Managing his workload while also dropping him from the Test squad? Makes sense…Agarwal for Clark who's had a poor red ball campaign is an upgrade! But weakened by Carse no longer at 10, but Parky is averaging 40 with the bat this season from 11
Apparently ECB have Carse managing his workload today. Not sure why Raine isn't back yet apparently some family matters.
Our bowling a bit weaker today as Carse took 4 against Gloucs.
But there was no need for a spinner so Parky replaces him today, wonder how much need of a spinner there will be for this game.

Ok, well I haven't followed this case in depth. The OJ trial is somewhat more high profile than the trial of Scott Kuggelin. I've literally got nothing to go on here except random people on social media claiming the man is a rapist despite being found non-guilty in court of law 10 years ago.

I'm gonna guess he might be in the white ball squads though? Either that or the ECB decided it wasn't a good look to see him taking wickets for Durham having been banned from England duty.ECB for you

Probably is the case but just looks daft.
England management of their bowlers in the CC always baffles.
Resting players in the season generally ruins their rhythm rather than benefitting them from a break.

Absolute collapse some very ordinary cricket in there from Durham in them 10 dismissals.
Blenkinsop
State Vice-Captain
Yes I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the scores at lunch. Is it turning square or just bad batting?
mackembhoy

Definitely turning a lot.
Durham will regret not picking Ghafari as your leggies especially doing the damage. Just how not to play spin for me in Stokes/Robinson dismissals even if both turned lots.
Harrison dismissal there was the worst dismissal of the match. Shannon Gabrielesque without the magnitude of the game on the line.
When are the ECB going to let us know if Leicestershire will be docked any points or not from the Glamorgan match pitch nearly 2 weeks ago.
It shouldn't take much time to make a decision.
The least they can do is not f... the relegation area of the division by announcing a deduction AFTER Surrey are relegated in the last game and then giving Leic a deduction which sends them down.

They took forever to hand down Essex points deduction for the bat gauge thing in 2024.
I've just checked and it was September when the incident occurred in April.

Think he's miles off, probably doesn't help that he plays in a truly terrible team.
Meanwhile, Slurrey in big trouble, surely they couldn't go down, could they????

Hmmm yeah, doesn't look as though Parkinson is getting huge turn in the same way that Harrison and Chahal were.
Shocking decision against McSweeney, that ball was going miles down the leg side.
