Frank Curry is the latest board member to resign leaving only Bob Jackson and Harker. The formation of the new board supposedly to be announced imminently will determine our future.

Excellent.

Have Cook and Latham been struck by a curse?! Hardly scored a run between them since they signed for Durham. Then again perhaps they are saving up their runs for us!

It's the latter undoubtedly. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Yes, a couple of class acts.

After taking 4-33 on T20 International debut, McCarthy went for 69 off his 4 over earlier. Who'd be a bowler?!

The highs and lows! Game is a great leveller.

In all probability he'll have bowled the same in both games. In 1st game shots went to hand, in 2nd they went over the ropes. Ce La vie in T20.
And he was run out without facing a ball to complete his day.

Just one of those days.
I'm sure you're right, bowlers getting carted to all parts is increasingly part of the game and luck plays a major part.

Barry's figures were the most runs ever conceded by a bowler in T20Is. Michael Lewis still holds the record for most runs conceded in an ODI so there's a unique double for Durham.

We'll have to have a plaque put up at the ground!

FTECB would rule that an unnecessary expense.

Yes, we'd probably get another points deduction!
