Durham Match Thread 2026

He took a lot of wickets too. Turned out to be a very good signing, yet I don't recall being that thrilled about it last year. I was wrong

[captaincolly]

The implication from Campbell is we chose not to have a second overseas player in order to give opportunities to younger players. We haven't so far! Plenty of over 30's in the line-up.

[Durhamfootman]

Sarah Glenn is the Yorks line up for the first time in an age (maybe even the first time?). Perfect for us, given that last year we kept throwing our wickets at her

Pottsy played for the Lions today, who got a thumping from SA(A). They have further matches on Sunday and Tuesday

Presumably that opens the door for Olivier to come in tomorrow, unless we bring in an extra bat and let Rhodes/Ackers bowl a few more

[Durhamfootman]

Villiers gone early

Glenn on now

Odd how Sarah Glenn has completely dropped off the England radar out of nowhere

looked like a bit of a struggle, but 155 might be an okay score if we bowl and field well and nip LWH and Jonassen out for not many

this is her first appearance since the beginning of Dec in the WBBL, so presumably she's been out injured for 6 months

it was
we did
and we did

good win

lets see what the men can do tomorrow night if the weather permits. I'm planning to go to that one if meaningful play looks likely. I'm also hoping to drop by after work on Tuesday afternoon

[Durhamfootman]

the women are second in the table with 4 wins from 5

very different from last year

they nearly defended that one loss too

Katie Levick's turn to take a bow. 2-13 from her 4 gave Yorks far too much to do, and we didn't get done by Jonassen, Winfield Hill or the returning bogey Glenn

[captaincolly]

Really impressive - and unexpected - run of form. They're doing exceptionally well.

[Durhamfootman]

Good impetus from Bess Heath again.... I watched the highlights and she didn't appear to get the reverse sweep out

if she did, then she didn't score any boundaries off it

[Durhamfootman]

weather looks grim for prospects tonight. It needs to shape up sharpish, because if it's like this at 7pm I won't be bothering to go

[Durhamfootman]

Unless something changes dramatically, the weather will be too horrible for me tonight

I'll save it until Tuesday and watch the women..... although they might not thank me for that if my presence jinxes them

[Durhamfootman]

If it stays like this, there might still see some meaningful play, because they seem able to play T20 in all sorts of conditions deemed unfit for FC matches, but honestly, where's the joy in sitting wrapped up in the members lounge watching cricket through the window?

Katherine Fraser picked up 3-21 for Scotland v Holland in the warm up. She opened the batting too, but was out second ball
