CC : Durham v Lancashire


You must be logged on to see media items
Two interesating comments from Raine.
First, they met up with Holder at the Oval for some nets. He called Holder an unbelievable talent although he hadn't had his best day (yesterday).
Second his comments on the Kookaburra on how ragged it gets during the game. He asked Ashton Turner about it who replies that it doesn't go like that it Australia, that it is reacting differently to conditions in the UK than in Oz.

So why are we using it?
 
Bedders loves his tons against Lancs.

3 from 3 so far this season :cool:

One man and his ego, Rob Key.

Yes, that idiot. Bostock was on comms earlier and said there isn’t a single county chairman who wants it.
Who’s the child behind the stumps?

Hurst.

Canny bat, going to be a star ;).

You replied before I edited about Lees rumour off to Yorkshire. But yeah saw that rumour too on here.

Should be an interesting winter to see who is for the off.

Questions marks potentially over Lees, Borthwick, Bushnell, Glover, Gibson and McAlindon.

Yeah that would be a shame

I hadn’t heard that myself but they are after a new captain
250-4 - First batting bonus point.

150 partnership too, just 190 balls. Imperious.

Where does he compare with Benk and MDV for you?

I think he’s up there. Unbelievable player

Should be in SA team in all formats

I have mixed feelings on it

I think the best bowlers take wickets with it, which is kind of the point I guess
I will be gutted if Lees leaves. Makes no sense when his form has been so much better here.

Yep same, be a big shame

I think in general county cricketers do return “home” a lot. I suspect Robinson will eventually

However this is different as it’s not far to travel

He will probs have been promised the world there.

Even it Scotty gets phased out, we are a batsman heavy

Unless Beds is not coming back

Clark's been poor this season.

Bumble gonna get done for copyright there?
 
Surely only Hussey has been a better player.

Before my time of following Durham as I was 12 then.

But be interesting for our more seasoned supporters to answer if he ranks as the best.
Both Benks and DiVo averaged more than 1,000 CC runs a season for us, I would put them with above everyone else so far. Both for the runs the got and the impact they had at the club.

Come back to me in a couple of years though.
