Chuffed for burnham
lads been through a lot, mostly self inflicted, doesn’t mean you can’t bounce back though
local lad, not polished, coming through, that’s what Durham is about for me
rather try with these lads then getting 95% of your academy lads from public schools
I maybe missing something but does it matter if local lads come from public or state school backgrounds? Both types of schools play a role in producing cricketers and whether you have come from a pubic school background or not the vast bulk of your coaching will come via the county. James Foster as an example, use to spend vast swathes of his spare time as a teenager in the local indoor cricket school which to me is more dedication that anything to do with his school background
You've had to come a fair amount of the way before you get to that stage and whether you've had the opportunity to get to that stage.That opportunity is laid on a plate in the private sectors, the vast majority of state school pupils have never even seen a game of cricket unless their family are involved in the game.Almost all The local players in Durham's team are from cricketing families, Burnham the exception?I maybe missing something but does it matter if local lads come from public or state school backgrounds?

Except and as we know that if a young lad shows talent there's a chance he could be offered a scholarship at a cricketing school to develop. e.g. Joe Root, Nasser Hussein and others. Ok, could we say there's a bit of a hiararchy - 1st local lads from a former pit village, former lads from a former pit village who got a cricket scholarship and then son's of rich bustards?yeah it does mate
lads in private schools have the best facilities in the country and the time to hit ball after ball all day every day
if you go to a state school in a Durham pit village then you don’t
it’s about 100 times harder to make it as a cricketer if you don’t go to Public school
thought that would be obvious
Absolutely stotting down on the route of the 78 lime green busPissing it down in Wheatley Hill. Saves me watering the plants later.
Now taking early lunch. Play to resume at 12.45 with 79 overs in the day.
Without a doubt.yeah it does mate

Check tomorrow's papers mateThought that was missing leg. But who cares.
