That stand might make a comeback when the Trapdoor is towed away and the luxury hotel gets built

Shades of 2019 when Critchley holed out on the boundary and Derby collapsed in the last hour?
It's the hope etc.

i hadn't even considered where the hotel would be, surely it would be behind.. well, it couldnt be behind that stand as it would block out lumley castle, but it couldn't be where that is otherwise the capacity would be decimated for internationals

Rumours were it was going to be where The Magistrate sits/sat and the Laura Wright Stand next to it but if that's the case it's going to be a bloody small hotel.

it'll be like a monopoly hotel
needed quick wickets with the new ball, feel like they're off the hook here

Must be close to calling it quits, shame.
Dominated and played well in three games with lots of positives including an incredible game for one of our batters, yet weve drawn two and lost one.
Learning to get over the line from winning positions must definately be the next target for an improving Durham side.

Agree but the point you made in bold is the key thing to concentrate and build on

just need more variety in attack. i really feel like a little bit of medium pace somewhere in the middle order could help but nobody there springs to mind. or if someone like carse, potts, coughlin can bat well enough to be a 5/6/7 bat we could have a better attack , but even so it's just too one dimensional for me.. unless trevaskis is the answer

Need to sort out the bowling attack, its too 1 dimensional: pick a frontline spinner and/or left armer. Also more attacking strategies needed from the captain - too much banging away and praying for a bit of luck from the wicket.

we need to sign ian blackwell and we'd be a great side man.
i'd dump burnham (any excuse i know) and bring in trevaskis. clark is probably a better shout with bat but bowling will be too similar to badger. we're scoring enough runs but need an added weapon in attack. how likely is borthwick to want to bring in a front line spinner to replace himself though?

I suspect Trevaskis isn't the answer, but is preferable to not having a finger spin option.

Game drawn with max 4 overs to go
Bowling was a little bit too samey
I think we missed Carse he does add a bit difference in that department

you're probably right, but we won't know till we find out, and we really need to try something as this isn't working - yet it's so close. tracks re playing like the height of summer and as above - we're in positions to win every game so far this season, but if the answer is to replace borthwick with a new frontline spinner will he admit that?

We are improving and dominating large parts of games. We just need more variation in our attack and a bit more flexibility when it comes to our tactics when bowling.
