Yes, it was all about one superb innings and one run out/quality bit of fielding. Thing is, Durham had a number of good knocks though. I thought some of our bowling was wayward and ‘uneven’ - and that’s being kind.
Not been convinced by Aspinwall nor Blathereick so far from what I’ve seen.

We’re a bit one paced too.
 
Did the originals actually get a pick of players, or were they left with all the dregs that nobody else wanted. Absolutely piss poor line up

Just seen their score (I don't watch that shitshow of a competition). 86? Off 100 balls? That must be one of the lowest totals in the history of the Hundred. I know pitches vary, bowlers can have good days and bad days, ditto batsmen but what would be classed as an okay score off 100 balls; 120 - 140?

It looks arguably worse than both the teams fielded in last week's T20 Blast game between Lancashire and Northants... Which shouldn't really happen in a franchise league.

Salt and Hartley on the losing side both times and Willey playing a winning hand in both games.

Well...

The game last week Norhants chased over 200 in a T20. So fag packet maths to me says...

200/20 = 10 runs an over.
10 x 16.4 (100 balls) = 164.
Add 10 runs for being able to attack harder with less overs = 174.
And add between 5-10 runs for having better quality and deeper batting lineups. So I would say something between 179 and 184 on the same pitch.
