Ghafari signs for the remainder of the season and is in contention. The article mentions he has been playing for Richmondshire, is he classed as an overseas?

No, he’s English qualified now.

He'll be playing tomorrow then.

Exactly - in 2023 it was revealed Ackermann would be joining us from Leics the following season and he then went on to score 146 against us at Grace Road.

Yeah I was at that game he batted very well.

Didn't realise Yusuf was playing in the ODIs.

He won't be playing then.

I'm pretty certain he wasn't in the original squad.

What we’re looking forward to seeing: By his own extraordinary standards, Simon Harmer had a distinctly below-par campaign in 2024. For the first time in eight seasons at Chelmsford he failed to add to his tally of 35 five-fers and ten 10-wicket hauls achieved in Essex colours. He still took 45 Championship wickets with his off-spin, but at an uncharacteristically high cost and strike-rate. We’re looking forward to seeing a revitalised Harmy.

Sorry, what?

 

[Parkside]

So a choice of 2 from Bailey,Connors or Rhodes as back up seamers - Frightening!
McKinney or Gay for the spare batting place.

Sorry, what?

You do realise the revitalised Harmi refers TuRner not Harmison?
Harmer not TuRner

Hopefully Bailey is much better with a red ball.

Hopefully Bailey is much better with a red ball.

The kid was thrown the new ball before given a chance to settle and it must have affected his confidence greatly Let's hope we see some encouragement,especially from the captain, when he's called on to bowl

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

That bowling is beyond grim!

Bas DeLeede is no world beater but he'd enhance this squad. Never mentioned other than unspecified injury weeks ago.Been a major fallout imo and be very surprised if he ever turns out for Durham again.

Let's hope he gives him more encouragement than he did with Minto in the Somerset home game.

Any evidence of a fallout

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Essex at 8/11 draw no bet looks a great price. I can't see how Durham take 20 wickets.

Going to Gloucestershire next season I believe.

More of a get out than a fall out then.

Thought you said there had been a fallout

If anyone thinks they're seeing the gorgeous Dean Elgar in the crowd in a Durham bucket hat drinking cider tomorrow, it might just be me as I look exactly like him
