We beat Derbyshire, do exactly the same changing a winning team and we've lost heavily vs Sussex and lost today. About time players were picked on merit and not reputation/because you're pally with the coach.
f***ing hell

Well played Rimmington. Move the lad to open, add some strength to the top order.
Just speaking the truth.
What part is incorrect?No, you're giving your opinion, which in that case is incorrect.
What part is incorrect?
And what about Collingwood.....Poynter - who scored 100 in his previous appearance - replaced Davies who'd totalled 2 runs in his two innings in the win over Derbyshire.
How is that not being picked on merit? How is it being picked because he's pally with the coach?
And what about Collingwood.....
I answered it by saying not to change a winning side. (As i posted on the durham Facebook page before the Sussex game)I'll answer that when you've responded to my questions - you avoided answering in the match thread last week so I'd like your response please.

I wasn't referring to Poynter as pally with the coach....Yeah and as I'm pointing out, that's an OPINION. Not the truth.
Astounded you'd keep a bloke who scored a century in his last game out of the team for someone who scored 2 in two innings....... Then claim that said centurion wasn't picked on merit but simply because he's pally with the coach.

I'm a believer in keeping a winning side and given Poynter was going to be missing this game I was in favour of some consistency and given Davies some first team game time.You should've made that more clear then.
So why do you believe Davies should've stayed in the side ahead of Poynter?

Well fair to say it was a very high probability he would be playing for Ireland and I'm sure the club would have expected him to be called up. (Squad was announced on day two vs Sussex).You didn't know at the time that Poynter was due to miss this game though.
