Chucking it down here on the moor this morning but blowing through pretty quickly. The Met Office don`t have it as too bad over the next four days though. I still think we`ve blown our chance though - please let us win it at least once in my lifetime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) 5 down!! My concern here now is that the weather denies us but is reasonable at Durham- ie we only draw and Glamorgan win with sufficent bonus points- the most Gloucs way to lose promotion? For Somerset- a result track may well help, but weather again? Or what would be sods law is if they win- but the pitch deemed inadequate and points off, Essex win- but then again given how the title was won by Middlesex a few years ago through a contrivance, the ECB can't be doing that!! Can't have a title decided through a contrived declaration with a 3rd party missing out and then dock that same third team points potentially for a pitch. CAS job. That would be the singular most Gloucs and Somerset ways to miss out respectively. Edited September 23, 2019 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could lose promotion on the toss of a coin (well 2 as Glam won theirs and inserted Durham ) As you say typical way for Glos to miss out !

Would be extremely undeserved too, given our surge- our positive cricket in recent months. I just had a horrible feeling that the season went on a week too long- actually surprised at how nice September has been, but it wouldn't have lasted indefinitely in the month.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Is Selvey still salty? Wonder if he thinks the collusion his side to get a result in the title race v Yorkshire was shocking too? Not a mention.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Play abandoned for thje day at Bristol too. 80/6 after around 29-30 overs. Up at Durham, they (Durham) 161/5 in the 58th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Durham finish on 197/6. A lot of rain forecast on Days 2 and 4... Clearly rain is not satisfactory but is part of the game- I'd sooner we beat Northants and get 2nd so we can hold our own against any promotion chasing side, as the bulk of seasons, 2 have gone up, but if rain here and Durham seals it I'm not complaining!

cidercity1987 Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I can sadly see a draw down here with less than 4 bonus points.

I think Durham have done enough on day one to ensure it’ll be a draw when rain is taken into account. we could do with some bowling points! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Durham and Glamorgan will contrive a result in the final day sunshine to oust us from the final spot My only question on a contrived result. Glamorgan will be desperate and therefore would accept anything to chase, knowing only a win would do? Don't see why Durham would offer them anything better than an extremely tough and unlikely 4th Innings challenge- a draw no good, only a win would do for Glamorgan so they'd accept anything surely. In 2005 I vaguely remember it causing some controversy or ill feeling but Kent accepted 420 in 70 overs in the 4th Innings (assuming it was still 96 in a day?) in a rain affected game vs Notts. Suffice to say they were not successful! Indeed cricinfo search confirms it was a key game in the title race. In other words, if Durham offered Glamorgan I don't know, 400 in 2 sessions- well take it or leave it, what choice do they have other than to try? They can try but we all know they ain't getting that! Edited September 24, 2019 by Mr Popodopolous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
