The batting has been a big issue all season but I think I'll regard today as a fluke. The conditions must be to blame.
And as I type the last wicket falls.66 all out.

It's happened too many times this season.
Conditions were difficult but Leics scored 300+ yesterday. Commentators are in agreement on that.
Marty doesn't seem to think that North is nailed on as DoC. Worryingly says the appointment will come from within

"Geoff has been around the age group sides mostly. My understanding is Lewis doesn’t want him anywhere near the 1st team because, in his words, it’s not his remit."
Wonder if today's performance was a measure of dismay in the direction ,or non-direction, the club is taking.
Durham head coach Jon Lewis told BBC Newcastle:
"It is unacceptable and I can't use words you can broadcast to describe it and how I really feel.
"It is the first time I have used the word embarrassed about one of my teams but it was an embarrassment.
"It is happening so often. The batting group do not have a great deal of confidence and when they play on a difficult surface this keeps happening.
"It is not the first time this year a bowler in their first spell has not just done us damage, but blown us away."

Drat! I missed it.
Did he have anything intereesting to say? I assume that the reference to restructuring in the press release was a kind way of saying that he'd been told his time was up as opposed to him deciding to go.
Seems a very poor way to treat him if that's the case.

Cooky is far too nice a person to say anything derogatory about the club but it was what he didn't say that is significant. Noticeably he didn't say that he decided to go. Clearly he has been dismissed.

The only crumb of comfort I can think off, apart from the result not having much effect on any promotion aspirations, is that at least it didn't happen against Leics last season!
