Central Contracts

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Not good for us with Potts & Carse on full 2 year deals.

Some mad contracts given to age and fitness along with form. Love Woody but 3 years!

I disagree great news for Durham not having to pay the salaries of Potts and Carse for the next 2 years.

Would rather having them playing for us than carrying drinks for England like they did with Leach.

It’s taken years do get back to division one and Potts is such a huge player for us.

The alternative is us paying their wages and still not getting to play them though, being realistic

Laughing his way all the way to the bank.

Sounds like Wood has taken the security rather than gamble on a better contract next year going by what Key has said

I doubt they will both be carrying drinks at the same time. Potts in particular if he is not playing for England will play plenty for Durham like he did in the sumner. Carse a bit different as he is far less durable.
They will be two of the top earners and Durham can plan and utalise that money over 2 seasons that is a long time.

Are there any banks in Ashington nowadays?

I think 2024 we will still see plenty of Potts/Carse. It would surely be good for their progression if they’re playing games in Div 1 for Durham. I can understand Carse may not play as much due to his injury past though.

3 year contact at 33 year old with his fitness record. It's a no brainer.

The season is nearly all in April,May and September.

So think we see plenty of them.

Trouble is mate then can restrict both matches and overs hopefully not with Potts as he is fit. Carse is a lot more fragile.

Bizarre that Jofra Archer - who has not played. Much through injury - got in ahead of Willey.

No wonder he was pissed off.

England hopeful Archer can play in T20 World Cup

England are hopeful Jofra Archer can play in the T20 World Cup in June, according to managing director Rob Key.

The England set up seems keen to get Jofra in somehow.

Fine if he's fit and has gametime under his belt but I hope they don't pick him unless he's really ready.

id be very surprised if Jofra bowls anywhere close to what they think he will, Wood is by far the faster bowler consistently, not really sure why England seem to put so much stock in Archer,

One decent ashes and a World cup nearly 5 years ago

They have invested so much into him, they will want him to play as much as possible.
