Surrey Dominate Day One Against Durham in County Championship Title Chase

Surrey Dominate Day One Against Durham in County Championship Title Chase

By September 17, 2024 0

Surrey, the reigning Vitality County Championship titleholders, made a strong start on day one of their match against Durham at the Kia Oval, despite Durham’s valiant effort to reach 262 all out.

Colin Ackermann’s unbeaten 78 was a standout performance for Durham, but Dan Worrall’s quick wickets with the second new ball, including Ackermann’s, left Durham stranded. Worrall finished with impressive figures of 4 for 39.

Surrey’s batting response was equally impressive, with Rory Burns leading the charge with an unbeaten 40 off 46 balls, including a six and seven fours. The hosts reached 52 without loss in 12 overs before the close, putting them in a strong position heading into day two.

Durham’s innings began solidly with Alex Lees and Ben McKinney providing a stable start. However, Worrall’s second spell proved decisive, dismissing both openers and Emilio Gay for a duck. David Bedingham and Ollie Robinson put on a 51-run partnership, but Surrey’s seamers kept the pressure on, with Jordan Clark and Tom Lawes claiming wickets.

Ackermann’s resilience and partnerships with Bas de Leede and Daniel Hogg helped Durham reach a respectable total. However, Worrall’s late wickets, including Ackermann’s, gave Surrey the advantage.

Surrey’s victory would secure their third consecutive County Championship title, while Durham faces an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

Bedingham and Ackermann Star as Durham Dominate Lancashire

Bedingham and Ackermann Star as Durham Dominate Lancashire

By September 10, 2024 0

Durham’s David Bedingham and Colin Ackermann put on a batting masterclass against Lancashire, guiding their team to a commanding position in their Vitality County Championship match at Chester-le-Street.

Bedingham, who has been in scintillating form this season, notched up his third Championship century and surpassed 1,000 first-class runs for the campaign. His unbeaten 177, coupled with Ackermann’s 111 not out, propelled Durham to a formidable 367 for 4 at the close of play.

The pair’s unbroken stand of 268 has already set a new fifth-wicket record for Durham in first-class cricket, eclipsing the previous mark of 254 set by Bedingham and Ned Eckersley against Nottinghamshire in 2021.

Lancashire, who were bowled out for 228 in their first innings, struggled to contain Durham’s batters. Ben Raine claimed 5 for 44, but the visitors failed to earn a batting bonus point for the third consecutive match.

Durham’s openers, Ben McKinney and Scott Borthwick, fell cheaply to Anderson Phillip and Tom Bailey, respectively. However, Bedingham and Alex Lees steadied the ship, taking Durham to lunch on 46 for 2.

After the break, Bedingham and Ackermann took control of the innings. They weathered two lbw decisions in quick succession, with Lees falling to Phillip for 43 and Ollie Robinson being trapped by Tom Aspinwall for 4.

Undeterred, Bedingham reached his 1,000th first-class run of the season and went on to score his sixth Championship century in just 15 innings. Ackermann also reached his century, ensuring that Durham ended the day with a commanding lead of 139 runs.

Lancashire’s bowlers toiled hard but were unable to make any further breakthroughs. Jennings’ decision to post five men in the deep proved ineffective as Bedingham and Ackermann continued to accumulate runs at a steady pace.

With the sun shining and the rain holding off, Durham supporters witnessed a batting display that has put their team in a strong position to secure a victory.

Durham Crush Hampshire with Ackermann and Wagner Heroics

Durham Crush Hampshire with Ackermann and Wagner Heroics

By August 9, 2024 0

Durham’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup received a significant boost as they secured a comprehensive 144-run victory over Hampshire at Gosforth.

Colin Ackermann’s resilient 96 and Neil Wagner’s impressive all-round contribution proved pivotal in Durham’s triumph. Ackermann, who had been struggling for form, played a captain’s knock, hitting five sixes in his 98-ball innings. Wagner, making his debut for Durham after retiring from Test cricket earlier this year, added 33 runs with the bat and then took 2 for 18 with the new ball.

Hampshire, who started the day in second place in Group A, were bowled out for a paltry 113 in reply to Durham’s 257. Paul Coughlin also chipped in with three wickets for the hosts.

Durham’s innings got off to a shaky start as they lost their top three batsmen cheaply. However, Ackermann and Wagner steadied the ship with a crucial 62-run partnership for the eighth wicket. Ackermann reached his half-century in 50 balls and looked set for a well-deserved century before falling just four runs short.

In response, Hampshire’s openers made a promising start, putting on 40 runs for the first wicket. However, Wagner’s introduction into the attack proved to be a game-changer. The former New Zealand fast bowler removed both openers and then had Tom Prest caught behind to leave Hampshire reeling at 45 for 3.

Coughlin then took over, dismissing Toby Albert and Felix Organ in quick succession. Ben Brown was also dismissed cheaply, leaving Hampshire in tatters at 69 for six. George Drissell and Joseph Eckland claimed the remaining wickets as Hampshire were bowled out for just 113 in the 27th over.

The victory keeps Durham’s hopes of a top-three finish alive, while Hampshire’s second defeat of the campaign dents their qualification chances.

Ackermann Century Powers Durham to Victory Over Northamptonshire

Ackermann Century Powers Durham to Victory Over Northamptonshire

By August 2, 2024 0

Durham’s Colin Ackermann notched his maiden List A century to guide his team to a thrilling four-wicket victory over Northamptonshire Steelbacks in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup at the Riverside.

Ackermann’s unbeaten 108 anchored Durham’s chase of Northamptonshire’s 260, which they achieved with 11 balls to spare. The Steelbacks’ innings had been propelled by Prithvi Shaw’s 71-ball 97, but Durham’s spinners stifled the run rate to set up their second win of the competition.

Northamptonshire’s innings started with a flurry of boundaries, but Bas de Leede’s wicket-maiden halted their momentum. Shaw continued to dominate, reaching his fifty in 31 balls, but his innings was cut short by a top-edged sweep to Mitch Killeen.

George Drissell and Paul Coughlin claimed further wickets to leave Northamptonshire on 162 for three. Ackermann and Borthwick’s spin duo then took control, restricting the visitors to 260 all out.

Durham’s chase began cautiously, with Michael Jones and Ben McKinney dismissed early. However, Ackermann and Alex Lees formed a crucial partnership, adding 133 runs for the third wicket. Lees departed for 55, but Ackermann continued his assault, reaching his century in 95 balls.

Ackermann’s dismissal triggered a mini-collapse, with Borthwick and Haydon Mustard also falling cheaply. However, de Leede’s unbeaten 15 ensured Durham crossed the finish line with ease.

Ackermann’s match-winning knock and the spinners’ impressive performance were key factors in Durham’s victory. Northamptonshire, on the other hand, must win their remaining four matches to qualify for the knockout stages.

Netherlands Lose Ackermann and Van der Merwe for T20 World Cup

Netherlands Lose Ackermann and Van der Merwe for T20 World Cup

By May 13, 2024 0

The Netherlands will be without two experienced players, Colin Ackermann and Roelof van der Merwe, for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Both players have opted to prioritize their county commitments over national duty, leaving a void in the Dutch squad.

To fill the gap, the Netherlands have called up Daniel Doram, a left-arm spinner from the Leeward Islands, to their T20I squad for the first time. Doram, who holds a Dutch passport, has impressed in the West Indies Championship this season, taking 29 wickets at an average of 20.27.

The T20 World Cup clashes with the start of the Vitality Blast, England’s county T20 competition, forcing Associate players to choose between their primary employers and their national teams. Bas de Leede (Durham) and Fred Klaassen (Kent) have been released by their counties for the tournament, but Ackermann and van der Merwe have committed to Durham and Somerset respectively.

In van der Merwe’s absence, Doram will join Tim Pringle as one of two left-arm spinners in the Dutch squad. The 6′ 7″ tall Doram has never played a professional T20 match but was on standby when the Netherlands toured Nepal earlier this year.

“We have been able to select a well-balanced team, which we are confident will be able to perform in the conditions against the opposition we face in the US and West Indies,” said Netherlands head coach Ryan Cook. “All of the players have been training well and have been involved in the recent ProSeries with some exciting performances showing the growing depth and quality in Netherlands cricket.”

Scott Edwards will continue as captain, and there are several changes to the squad that finished fourth in their Super 12s group at the 2022 T20 World Cup. Shariz Ahmad, Tom Cooper, Stephen Myburgh, Ackermann, van der Merwe, Brandon Glover, and Timm van der Gugten are out, while Wesley Barresi, Aryan Dutt, Michael Levitt, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Vivian Kingma, and Doram have come in.

The Netherlands will prepare for the tournament with a tri-series against Scotland and Ireland, which starts on Saturday. They have been drawn in Group D of the T20 World Cup alongside Bangladesh, Nepal, South Africa, and Sri Lanka.

Ackermann Century Guides Durham to 358 on Day One Against Essex

Ackermann Century Guides Durham to 358 on Day One Against Essex

By April 26, 2024 0

Essex and Durham shared the spoils on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash at the Seat Unique Riverside, with the home side posting a competitive 358 all out.

Colin Ackermann anchored Durham’s innings with a patient 112, his first century for the club. The former Leicestershire skipper’s 294-minute vigil laid the foundation for Durham’s total.

Essex’s bowlers toiled hard on a pitch conducive to batting, with Sam Cook and Jamie Porter claiming three wickets apiece. However, dropped catches proved costly for the visitors, with Ollie Robinson and Ackermann both reprieved.

Robinson, on loan from Yorkshire, made the most of his lifeline, scoring 90 in his fifth consecutive first-class half-century this season. David Bedingham also contributed a brisk 52 before being bowled by a superb delivery from Porter.

Durham lost both openers cheaply, but Ackermann and Robinson steadied the ship, putting on 118 for the third wicket. Robinson’s dismissal to Simon Harmer triggered a mini-collapse, with Graham Clark and Brydon Carse also falling cheaply.

Ackermann remained unfazed, reaching his century off 199 balls. However, he was eventually dismissed by Cook, who also accounted for Paul Coughlin. Snater wrapped up the innings with the final two wickets.

Essex openers Nick Browne and Alastair Cook safely negotiated the last two overs of the day to finish on five without loss.
