Departures

Had to Google about crawley didn't know who he was. You sign young players with talent in the hope they can make the step up to the county game, some do some dont. But whenever you sign an overseas there has to be an assumption they are better than what we already have and will guarantee either runs or wickets. I daresay there are better overseas in the NEPL than maddinson

Surely Crawley has to be one of the worst bits of business Durham have ever done? He’s what 23/24 and not even in playing 2s cricket let alone even been named in a 1st team squad. Who actually chooses to sign him like what do they go off his club record or do you reckon he has contacts that know Franklin/North once again?

The fact that I've never even heard of him suggests he hasn't been a great signing. Who?

He played 3 T20s last season but bizarrely despite being mainly a batsman he was used as a bowler batting down the order.
Also he's only 19.

This is an update on old news.

Remember Ryan Davies, wicket keeper, who played for Durham in 2018.
He left with immediate effect in Feb 2019. See:

Very sad.
 
Reading on from that ECB statement regarding Ryan Davies there's a mention of Stanley McAlindon getting a call up into the squad for the 2nd U19 England v Sri Lanka test next week.No mention on the Website or Twitter from the club 😉 It is unofficially rumoured that the club will be investing in a dozen homing pigeons to help with media duties next season

Was tempted to mention a Charlie Rich classic from 1973 in my opinion of the Media dept.Then after the efforts of last night I didn't want to spoil the Dr Feelgood factor

Lees going back to Yorkshire? When does his contract with Durham end?
Click to expand...
Initially signed a 3 year contract 2019-2021. Presumably resigned a 2nd contract for this season but I don't know for how long.
Left Yorkshire because of friction with Gale so now he's gone.....

Fella I know at work is involved with Saltburn who have apparently offered him a contract. I'd personally have Weighall back at Durham

Wheely? Weill, it's not like we already have too many bowlers, and I was disappointed to see him go in the first place. But, time moves on and maybe the Wheely moments have gone.. Was a good bowler though.

The 'talented but always injured bowling all rounder' spot is already taken by Coggers.
