I predicted Durham to be Champions pre season and think we have a chance as I think what people overlook is that England isnt really a factor for us this year. Despite the fact we have lost the likes of MDV, Blacky etc, the likes of Onions, Mustard, Borthwick, Stokes will play a full season and that has never happened before.
I also believe we have a good blend of experience and youth and a battery of seamers which will give us the opportunity to take 20 wickets in some games to pick up the 6 or 7 wins usually needed to win the CC.
