Did anyone go to the Evening with Botham at Durham Gala last night?

He was very enthusiastic about the future of the club.

I didn't but good to hear. He's always spoken well since he came in to help the club out and he's clearly speaking well despite his role change. Got a lot of time for him as I felt be did an excellent job at a difficult time for the club

There weren’t any major revelations - mostly about the hotel and the nursery training ground. He seemed genuinely upset that women had no specific changing rooms and had to get changed in the back of a car. But generally he seemed absolutely committed to developing Durham as a sustainable community club.

He was hugely proud of the direction of the team and its ability to produce high-class players, many on the England radar. This was tied to his determination to support local interest amongst all age groups for men and women, supported by the facilities mentioned above.

He seemed excited about future prospects for the club and you could tell that it really mattered to him - it wasn’t just words.

has he proved that yet? Obviously Somerset have doubts. I'm not writing him off but he's,as yet,unproven.
Should be be ahead of Minto,Hogg,Killeen...?

No fair he’s played a fair bit of cricket now, decent injury record and 6th 4

Im not sure it is Somerset not wanting him either reading it

I want them to play you know that

But with Carse n Potts away it might help stop the never ending rotation of average overseas seamers

I wasn't fully aware of his Somerset situation. Could well be his agent touting him around. Getting like football unfortunately.
