Durham Match Thread 2021

One thing I don't think has been cleared up - if Bancroft is only playing 4 day cricket- and the wording announcing his return suggests he is - who will be the 2nd overseas player in T20 and who is going to be captain?
I suppose all the uncertainty surrounding international travel makes it nigh on impossible to make definite plans

I missed this

I think the captaincy is a toss up between Coughlin and Poynter

Started off as the pro for Bournmoor seemingly

Yes, I remember that but I don't know if that's how he came into Durham's radar or whether Cooky fixed him up there- his father played under him at Northants.
Only downside of today's win is the ex- leprechaun will retain his place.
We've now played all the opposition in our conference and dictated most days apart from the 4th day v Essex.

Shhhhh

never mention the 4th day at Essex again

Well, a non-playing captain would be a novel innovation. Coggers turned out for Eppleton yesterday-without distinction.

I hadn't considered the possibility of a Northants link

I see Dickson finally got some runs last week - a century.

Looks as if Scott Steel is playing for Leicester.

[Durhamfootman]

is Thomson still with us or is he away now?

Think it was a month loan so he's probably gone back. A strange scenario - presumably they weren't impressed by his second team performances.

I presume Tom Latham will be in the country, once the match against India has been played (will it be played?)
