I believe so, but I don’t know what SA commitments he has. Are you thinking about the FL?

Indeed.... always impossible to know what overseas players are doing nowadays.

SA don't play much at all, so he's probably a decent bet. He'll play in most CC matches, I imagine

Should do. Doesn't seem to be involved in their white ball teams so we should have him for the majority of the season.
Last year of his contract so hopefully there'll be a renewal.

that might depend on whether Arsenal Liverpool Barcelona Surrey want him

[Durhamfootman]

Durham women win both their matches against Zim women

the matches included centuries for Phoebe Turner and Emma Marlow and 5fer and a 4fer for Katie Levick

Yes! Just been reading the County preview in The Cricketer magazine- their prediction is a second place finish behind Surrey. That'd be more than acceptable but think it's going to be an unpredictable season, if we can get the first choice team out more often than not then it could be a successful campaign.

[Durhamfootman]

I guess it depends on how quickly the new boys settle in.

I'm still not sure about Lees captaincy skills, tbh

I'm really looking forward to the women's stuff, if I'm honest. Something different

I subscribe to the cricketer online and can't find any previews

Do you get the magazine? You've mentioned stuff before that I haven't seen

Yes. Have a subscription and get the physical copy.

the Uni game is up and running

we bowled first and conceded 327-9, largely due to a 150 6th wicket stand, before ending the day 38-1 with McKinney the man out

earlier Killeen took 5 fer for a much changed line up. Ben Raine bowled 10 overs, but isn't down to bat

12 man team of Borthwick, McKinney, Gay, Robinson, Ackermann, Parkinson, Alexander, Clark, Drissell, Killeen, McAlindon, Raine

I think I'll pop down tomorrow. Seems to be a second string attack, never quite sure why we don't put out the first choice teak in a warm-up game...unless there are injuries!

[Durhamfootman]

I was wrong, because Raine is batting

we are 264-6 and only Ackermann is standing tall... 84 no

[Durhamfootman]

100 for Ackers

[Durhamfootman]

the pace of scoring has picked up noticeably with this partnership

300 is up and I wonder if they are cutting loose now with a new ball declaration in mind. 12 overs for that
