Excellent effort. Well done to all concerned. This Bostock fella seems to know what he's doing.
Some of the guys I play cricket with in Scotland headed down for some of the matches, they were massively impressed with the experience.
Let’s hope it’s the catalyst for change that we need. Watching on TV I kept thinking back to 1995, pitching up in the cold with my camping chair to watch the first ball bowled there. It’s been a bumpy ride but we’ve come a hell of a long way.

I was there on Monday and I thought it was a brilliant day overall. I've been to most of the international games at CLS over the years but I thought Monday was the best day I've had. It was well-ran, organised and just a whole lot of fun. Of course the weather and quality of the game helped, but well done to all involved.

Good news. We will rise again from our current predicament, there is too much talent, effort put in and now, people in charge for this not to happen. And when we do, it will feel better than before.

Bristol and Taunton got 3 as well...however one of the games at Bristol was washed out .

I think Bristol had 2 games washed out. Giving CLS 3 games was bit shit for a former test venue, it had us on the same level as the likes of Taunton

Yes you're right.
Yeh but would having more than 3 might not have been overkill attendance wise?

Great to hear positivity on the back to very good reports.
Interesting on the Hotel stuff. You'd imagine a hotel would do great business on the back of an international game and maybe some from travelling fans for DCC matches - do things like selling a hotel stay combined with entry to the ground for a match.

Shouldn't do. Southampton and Cardiff had 6 and 5 respectively. Even 1 more game would have been more fitting for a ground like The Riverside

The club deserve it. The 3 World Cup games at Durham we’re as near perfect from a sporting and recreational event as you could get. The ground looked superb, the atmosphere was sublime and there was no hint of any bother whatsoever. The Sri Lankan’s in particular were very gracious visitors and as someone who lives in the town and just 300 yards away I couldn’t have been prouder.
Hopefully the tide is starting to turn for durham ccc.
As an aside the icc World Cup has overall been an excellent tournament and the Asian fans in particular have contributed immensely to that.
Interesting story about the hotel when it was originally going to be built
They took the hedges down where it is going to be, along by the groundsmans house, out of bird nesting season to make sure that any chicks would be born nearby but in safety from prospective building work.

We don't need as much as we think either, more consistent runs and a good overseas pro each year

Let's hope that some of the folks from the region who maybe visited the Riverside for the first time were sufficiently impressed with the place that they may return to watch Durham in a T20 game or two.
