Brydon Carse

Can I sit here said:
Anyone else noticed that 'man' disappeared from the old scoreboard at the Riverside during last season, leaving the label 'last' for one of the windows?

Wokey, wokey!!!!

It disappeared before the women’s T20 international v India 2 seasons ago. A game in which no men were involved. Woke? More like showing appropriate respect to the participants in the match.
Good article re Carse here:

It's certainly nothing to be bothered about but equally why alter the tradition of man of the. match? Likewise why has a batsman now become a batter? Women's cricket existed for ages without the need for any change in tradition.
What does annoy though is a catch now being referred to as a grab.

Is everything alright at home, mate?

Genuinely applauding you for managing to be rattled by a cricket player being titled ‘POTM’ rather than ‘MOTM’.

The laws of cricket apply to the men and women's game so the term 'batter' was seen as more inclusive. Aussies had been calling them batters for years. They changed fieldsmen to fielders around the same time, although literally nobody had called them that irl for 80 years.

Let's go back to calling Carse a Bowlsman! Bowler is far too inclusive for my liking.
 
A quote from Campbell, looks like he's playing and getting fit for England first and not Durham

An issue with nasty cuts and blisters on his left foot resurfaced during the Champions Trophy, however, meaning he had to be replaced in England's squad and was subsequently ruled out of the Indian Premier League.

"We've known about his foot problems for a year now," Campbell said.

"It's not new, but he needs to get it right if he's going to be playing a lot of Test cricket.

"If we look at it, then I think Brydon Carse is probably the number one priority for England right now with what he's shown in Test cricket. He's born for that sort of stuff.

"There's 11 Tests over the summer and winter and I think he's going to be number one on England's list to make sure that he's ready to go for that."
