Ian Botham - Welcome to all of you at home to this Tote Sport League match between Durham and Somerset here at Chester le Street. Here with my is Ian Ward, Ian how do you think the game while pan out over these 90 overs?

Ian Ward - Well Beefy I feel that this will be a very tight match. Durham at the top of the table with 5 wins from their 7 games and Somerset down in 6th. This could be a slaughtering here today but if Somerset can bowl tight and bat well Durham could be in for a close match.

Ian Botham - Yes Ian this could be a easy win or a close match. We can now take a look at the pitch and conditions...

Ok The toss happened a few minutes ago and we can say that Durham have won the toss and elected to field. Well on this pitch they must be thinking it can only get a better batting pitch Ian?

ianwardak0.png
Ian Ward - Yes Beefy if they get this all wrong though they could be in for a suprise because with the strong batting team Somerset are they will try to make Durham chase at 5+ an over from the start.

Shall continue tommorrow. Cya guys
 
I also need you guys to tell me if you like this overlay :)
Probably the best work I have have ever done :happy
