no, he doesn't. There was a time I thought he'd become our head coach when he retired as a player, but I now think it's probably good for his Durham reputation that he didn't

It's odd, because he was a good captain

Jennings has fallen on his sword after Lancs woeful start to the season. Marcus Harris to take over as Capt

Jennings signed a 5 year contract last season, so I imagine he will continue to play

That's what happens when you lose to Northamptonshire!

oh dear....

I thought Lancs and Northants would be strong teams in div 2, but both have struggled desperately

We are an experienced batsman light in the squad.as Gay hasn't been replaced and Breetzke was picked for the IPL. However on current performance perhaps one of the newbies could have been given a go. I think things will pick up in the second half of the season.

I couldn't understand how 11 would work either.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wonder if they've done a spreadsheet on just getting rid of it.

[Durhamfootman]

could be 10 plus a final, or a derby, or a relegation play off or something else completely contrived, but sold as being a great deal for the members

[Durhamfootman]

maybe the 11th will be played in March in the UAE

[Durhamfootman]

oh wait a minute.... this the Luddite plan

12 team div 1, play each other once = 11
6 team div 2 play each other twice = 10
