Wants to 'keep and lost the gloves to Dane Vilas in all formats, Vilas is coming back next year.
Ah, I noticed Vilas had them at the weekend but didn't realise that was common. Having said, Davies is one of the most frantic players I've seen, maybe not the best thing for a keeper
Burgess at Warwickshire has a very hand first class record, wonder if he is available
Fred the Needle
Subs Bench
Has a contract until 2023 so a bit of a strange one really, he’s just signed an extension this year. Wonder if Davies has been promised the gloves, would have certainly been a excellent addition to Durham

It seems short sighted to me, but Vilas is the captain and I guess seniority has been pulled. They like this kid Lavelle who is the England U19 keeper as well.
If Buttler plays any games next year I guess England would want him to keep as well, so there's no path for Davies at all.
Is it that much better than Ned's?
Pretty happy with our 'keeper and if we were going to spend a bit of money on a solid county pro I would hope it would be a batsman.

This won't do, you have to commit regardless and get more entrenched the more evidence against you is provided. I expect far better from such an experienced board member.
Borderline worrying iirc

Disgraceful. Don't let the door smack your arse on the way out.
I've decided I hate Burgess, and will be absolutely seething should he sign for Durham.
Burgess averages 2 runs more in 4 day cricket, Eckersley is 8 and 1 higher in 50 over and t20. Ned also has 17 hundreds to Burgess' 3. Burgess has more catches per game but then Ned doesn't keep wicket every game.
