Woakes and Patel impress

By Brian Halford on Jun 16, 09 02:25 PM

Durham 115 for 3 (44 overs). Benkenstein 12, Blackwell 0.

Di Venuto (40, 121 balls), becomes a third lbw victim for Woakes. Unlike the other two, not plum this one, indeed it looked a bit leg-side.

But Woakes is bowling really well, as is Patel, at last getting a long bowl under his belt with four fielders round the bat. Nine overs for 16 for the spinner so far and he could have had Benkenstein on 9, when Carter just failed to get under a miscue at mid-on, and should have had him on 11 when Bell grassed a chance at slip.

Only five Warwickshire bowlers - Ken Dollery, George Paine, Tom Pritchard, Paul Smith and Bob Willis - have taken more than one hat-trick in first-class cricket.

Keith Dollery ? Unaware of a Ken.

Good spot Beatie80. An investigation into the reasons for the appalling error will be the subject of a full and exacting inquiry - held in private, of course...
