....from Onions.
He was not needed by England so travelled up to Trent Bridge to bowl for Durham against Notts.
He took 9-67 and ran the other guy out !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done that man.
It gives Durham a fighting chance to win the game.

I'd have been missing the stumps for the run-out!

He's only not an England regular because we're so strong in that department but good to see he keeps knocking on the door.

Just an opinion like.

How come the word ''lovely lovely person'' is allowed on here now. I thought it was banned???

You couldnt type Chip Fireball is a cheeky chappy as it will come up as cheeky chappy rather than cheeky chappy.

You could however say theres loads of not nice people on here these days as its truthful and appropriate.

HTH.

When youve commited the crimes chip has, a word like 'lovely lovely person' is a drop in the ocean.

Good job the umpire reminded him or he would have been in a right pickle.

You will find that in spring, onions plays his best cricket, he listens to the bee gees between innings, apparently chive talking is his favourite song :dance:

2 of the 3 South African born players in our team this Test would get in their current XI. Fact.

The third (Trott) wouldn't be too far away.

I feel the same way bout Enland cricket team as I do bout the national football team- mildly interested but club/county comes first.

I've never been to a Durham 4 day. The fact there's about 25 other people there puts me off to be honest.

I follow Durham during the season like. It's great to see that they've managed to pull themselves away from the relegation zone in recent weeks.

Having grown up watching crushing defeat upon crushing defeat it was certainly a sweet moment when they won their first title in 2008.

They are in a strong position now against Notts. Hopefully they will press on for the win.

Fantastic performance....
