Not sure what is going on with Scott Steel ? He is playing for Durham City, and, with all due respect, they are in the 3rd tier of North East Cricket. Also, he was batting at 6 for them last Saturday.
Cannot believe that the coaches are happy with that.
Our of contract at end of season and refusing to sign new one?
 

I know mate, I saw that and looked at his ‘history’ too - which confirms it’s him.

Just can’t comprehend that he would be so low down in the order for a third tier club side.

Unless he’s wanting out of the professional game I see no reason why he’d ‘refuse’ to sign.
Looking forward to seeing steel in the t20s

Looking forward to you answering my question on the JB thread ;)

You might be waiting longer than it takes to get our batting line up out
 
Very odd.

Appreciate the local updates from yourself and @Poolynorm
Pretty sure Scott Steel came through the Durham City junior teams system and played 1st team before Academy. The captain of Durham City is Callum Steel who maybe is a brother or family member? Think his dad might be ex Durham City and East Rainton player Ian. Although I recall probably on here some thought it was ex City , South Hetton all rounder Bobby

A few years ago when he was at Burnopfield he smashed us all over hitting 100* off about 50 balls.
 
If you can't beat us you might as well pack up. Great win against Lancashire but reverted to type since. Pretty sure we'll be playing minor counties in a few years time. Not sustainable and when we do decide to make a signing the money is usually wasted on a long gone has been. Doesn't help that Nottinghamshire use us as an academy and nick all our decent players as soon as they show a bit of promise.

We normally cant beat you and since our first Championship game in 1992 Leics have always been our bogey team. Our first class record v Leics is:
P 20 W 3 D 5 L 12 .

Even recently in 2018 we managed an unlikely home victory after following on but then later in the season at Grace Rd, Mohammad Abbas bowled us out for 61 and 66 on the same day! and then last year at the Riverside, Fatty Cosgrove knuckled down and denied us victory on the final day.

So I think you are favourites to win.:lol:

Callum Steel is Scott's brother. His dad is Gordon Steel.
