Thanks. Maybe the theory here is for him to try and be in when the spinners are on.
Durham's failure to significantly strengthen over the winter is being horribly exposed. Is it too late to get a few Kolpaks in?
Presumably we looked to recruit in the winter and failed;Durham aren't exactly an attractive proposition at the moment.When will the present incumbents concentrate on lines and variation rather than pace which they don't possess in any case, Weighell in particular?
Over the past few games the batting has proved sound and we can add Potts to it who looked assured.
It was the opening overs where we lost it; too much width so they got off to a flyer and could coast the middle overs getting set and then the blitz. Rimmington bowled better later; hopefully he and Rushy can do it at the start.
Keep the faith

Inditement of the thinness of our squad that we are unable to provide alternatives after such a thrashing. Inevitably will lead to complacency.

Complacency might already have set in because Lewis suggests " small improvements " will do the trick!
