CC :: Durham v Sussex

So after seeing this I thought I'd get some clarification. I am told that things changed post covid and the age is now 24 year old to trigger an automatic pro deal. I'm told Durham have contacted the ECB regarding Alex Lees situation - obviously if he was to get a central contract then it would free up budget for 2023.

Durham have also made contact with the PCA regarding the automatic pro deals and that is the reason 2 players are not playing in this game, or the next one. Whilst what I said last night was speculation and it could have been down to a total coincidence that both players are on 16 points, what I have heard this morning confirms that it is in fact true that both players have been left out due to the automatic contract trigger.

I'm also told that some players were expecting to have had their annual review by now. Despite being promised this weeks ago, some players careers/lives remain in limbo.

Certainly think Bushnell should have been selected for these past few games but I find your claim regarding breaking the threshold surprising. Are you stating that as fact are you WUM? He's only played 3 CC games and 2 T20.

I have it from a very reliable source. Not gonna burn them on a football website naturally. Doesn't seem that outlandish that playing 4 first class games gets him a pro deal?

But I won't lose any sleep as to whether you believe it or not so no dramas.

wish we were signing Benjamin instead of Robinson

His numbers might not show it yet but he is a bit of a unique talent

We might net, y’never know.

Off for bad light, f*cking terrible decision. We’ve played through worse loads of times.

Durham 398-6 (96 overs) lead by 236 runs.

Benjamin 51*
Coughlin 5*

Can't see it, only way would leave if would be guaranteed number 1 keeper in red ball.

Would be a major boost to our T20 stuff too
 
Main Scoreboard went off again. Other one still on but numbers not updating until all of a sudden they jumped ahead.

Unless I imagined it as the declaration was made it was showing Benjamin on 96 but then reverted to the correct 82.

For one moment I thought he was hard done by with a declaration 4 short of his century 😂
Wicket in the first over, run out by a mile 😀
