Very true although as I discovered at Burnopfield, even glorious sunny weather doesn't guarantee any play as far as the 2nds are concerned.

Hopefully Durham get some play in these two friendlies and to see who plays and who gets the key batting and bowling Positions as a possible indicator as who might get a chance in the 50 over competition.
Drissell must be nailed on to play and looks like he has done as well as anyone in 2Xl t20 this season. Not sure if either Mcallindon or Hogg are fit to bowl yet. Also feels like a big month for Bushnell and Gibson.

There has never been anything to see. Always much ado about nothing.

Coughlin first over looked sharp - one that absolutely took off that Mustard couldn’t reach fully.

Exactly this

Wicket for Stan Mcalinden - not sure if it’s his first bowl in a game back since his injury troubles but looks to have a nice rhythm albeit not quite as sharp as he was previously, understandably.

Marcus North milling around in the far corner of the ground being busy on his phone.

He's good at that.

He's good at that.

He actually said hello to me at Blackpool as he was walking past (not on his phone)

Northumberland 195 all out

Mckinney 69
Durham won by 2 wickets

I called in for an hour today. Borthwick survived a big LBW appeal first ball. Looked quite straight from where I was, must have hit it.
