Durham v Lancashire [H] C.C. 24/4/26

Well hopefully I keep the unbeaten start to the season going with the home championship match against Lancashire.
Personally think its been a very decent start to the campaign albeit against two counties who may well finish in the bottom two come the end of the season.
As far as Durham team goes if everyone is fit and available I would imagine it will be the same starting Xl that won against Gloucestershire.
As far as the opponents go it looks like Lancashire will be one of our biggest competitors for a top 2 finish and on paper look as good a team as us. Especially looking forward to watching Jimmy Anderson bowl. I first watched him in the flesh at the Riverside in probably 2000 or 2001 playing in the same England u19 Xl as our own Peng Pratt and Muchall.
Weather looks decent and should be a competitors match and I'm definitely there on Friday and Saturday for my seasonal debut.
Team for me

Lees
Mckinney
Gay
Bedingham
Clark
Robinson
Aldridge
Raine
Potts
Roach
Parkinson.
 

I'll be there Saturday, all being well weather wise, if not then I may be there Sunday instead!

No need to change the team I don't think. Lancs are struggling a bit with injuries already with Singh Dale and Wells subbed out of their latest game with Gloucestershire. Anderson is bowling like a dream and Coughlin has made a decent start, other than that, I don't think there's an area where they are stronger than us. Harris hasn't got going yet but will be a danger, and Jennings and Bohannon are consistent performers but if this is the best Division 2 can offer, we are fine.

Early forecast looks spot on 👍

Multifaith room? I wasn't aware we had one. I don't even know what it is.
