Tried to make as many notes as possible, so excuse me if the notes aren't the best
In attendence were Harker, Cook and Collingwood with Marty Emmerson hosting.
batting condition excuse was mentioned straight away by cook about the home wicket, something like only 4 batting points made all season on the pitch
cook praised the bowlers
batting has been extremley tough
mustard injured and it's "not brilliant news". fluid was drained then it flared up again, swollen badly.
mdv big miss. he was very keen etc at the start of the season. after the game in somerset was when he told cook of his intentions and that he was struggling and had enough (aching muscles). cook was full of praise for him.
keaton jennings and richardson described as excellent in the 2nd XI. One interesting quote after that was "you have to earn your place" in reference to playing in the 1st XI.
Jennings should be playing in the Aus A game along with Blackwell and Myburgh.
It was never planned to play Blackwell in the T20 (Something I mentioned on here and a few disagreed with what I was told by Blackwell himself)
Cook then went onto say Blackwell has had a back injury.
Cook then went onto speak about Harmison and said Harmison wanted to play for Durham, had a good frame of mind but his bowling wasn't consistent and wasn't accurate. Durham are paying part of his wages whilst at Yorkshire.
Collingwood then spoke. "Batting is a concern". "confidence levels aren't as high as they should be"
He doesn't expect the home wicket to get any better in terms of tough batting conditions (he made this in reference for this game)
"we're in a difficult position"
he then went onto praise the bowlers and fielding.
he then went onto mention the rain and pitch moist.
The subject of oversea's player was brought up and Geoff Cook said "likelyhood is an overseas player would struggle in these conditions"
harker then spoke and it seems that the ecb salary cap is the main issue. would love to have ponting/hussey, not sure whether he indicated he had tried to sign them, he wasn't too clear.
harker "prise would be hurt more than financially for relegation". he then indicated it would be more difficult to get sponsors on board if we were relegated.
geoff cook "mark stoneman is looking like a really fine player"
I asked a question querying why Richardson hasnt played CB40 since top scoring down in Wales, and made reference to confidence with the batting etc. Geoff Cook basically said he felt as though Myburgh offers more and that Richardson can count himself unlucky. Collingwood also mentioned he was injured for that game hence why Richardson played. (me personally I didn't agree with what Cook said as I think Richardson should have a place in the team especially after top scoring down in Wales).
It was agreed that some players could be brought in next season but Cook said problem with overseas is that they arent guarenteed for all the season, but I got the impression they will look into that for next season
Hotel got mentioned, awaiting some news on some funding but all going well they could make a start by the end of the season.
Only about 25 people turned up, which is a tad suprising given the amount of criticism the club have recieved this season, perfect chance to ask questions.
Can't think of anything else.
Over & out.
