I suppose the question that needs answering is whether there is room for him and Parkinson and Ackermann

Yes, Ackermann scored a century and took 2 wickets today.
Trevaskis iz the kind of player I think we need to provide depth in the squad , especially if we go into division one, but it seems as if he is leaving.
Ackermann will surely be starting in the red ball game next year, who will he replace? Borthwick probably the most likely candidate.

[Durhamfootman]

Captain Beaky?

surely not!

If Borthwick isn't playing CC what is his USP? He doesn't really offer us anything in white ball, other than the fact that he's never going to get a Hula Hoop franchise after his signature, so he's always going to be around

Moneybags Surrey might make Bedders an offer he can't refuse. England might call up Robbo (in Robbo we trust) or Leesy. Scotland might call up the corporal and I haven't even mentioned injuries. I guess all kinds of things might happen between now and then

Is it just me, or do we seem to have fewer issues with injuries in this post Nige world?

Yes, seems to be less of an issue now that he's not around!
Recent Bedingham interview has him saying that if he gets a gig with South Africa he would just miss a month of Durham's season so it sounds like he is staying- let's hope so.

Well he’s playing today and we’re in deep sh…. trouble

Need a trev masterclass and Borthwick to dig in

[Durhamfootman]

oh dear.....

we're going to need a bigger boat

Yes, only slight hope is it doesn't look like an easy batting pitch but it'll take something very special to defend that score- especially with Shaw opening the batting!

[captaincolly]

12 off the first over! Trouble is it's hard stopping the boundaries in the powerplay - but if we don't find a way it will be game over very quickly.

[captaincolly]

Shaw teeing off- if we can't get him out soon the chances of axwin will go from very slim to non existent. He has given a couple of half chances but would have been wonder catches.

[Durhamfootman]

Drissell leads the fightback

are you there today?

are you there today?

Yes. But not for much longer! Shaw going ballistic- 24 off Borthwick's over!

[captaincolly]

Brilliant hundred from Shaw.

[Durhamfootman]

you mentioned Dickson putting Gloucs in...... that's what happens when an opening bat is allowed to bat through.... hurts you

[Durhamfootman]

has Shaw just gone from 109 to 125 in about 3 balls?

[Durhamfootman]

lost a 50 over match in 25 overs

at least everyone gets to go home in time for tea

done all the spectators a favour really, when you think about it
