Perhaps it's my youth and low expectations but I'm really not fussed whether we go down or not. To the older generation, and a few younger lads who probably support certain has-been football clubs in the county, relegation would be a disgrace and humiliation. But, except for two great years (possibly four if you count the two near misses either side of the two Championship wins) all I've ever known is mediocre to downright shit Yorkshire teams!

Yorkshire clubs are terrible compared to what they were years ago ...... mind you, Leeds and Don Revie, I find it hard to sympathise. Sorry.

Still Wednesday and Sheff Utd. .... go for it.

Something wrong about a county the size of Yorks not having a football team nowhere near successful.

Agree. He looks decent. Would have thought him and Archer are definitely in the Lions squad at least.

Borthwick's move to Surrey has been a disaster. I reckon he'll be back season after next.

Let's hope so. I posted previously that Scotty would be a fish out of water darn sarf and that has proven to be the case.

No need to be sorry mate. I f***ing hate the bastards too :lol: Not keen on the Sheffield clubs either. My football going days are long since over but I used to watch Hull before I got fed up with it all after their first season in the Premiership. The timing is no coincidence either.
 
I see Sangakara has scored another century for Surrey (164)

The top three run getters in Div 1 are Surrey players so it's crazy that they've only managed 1 win so far.

Without Kumar, our tail basically starts at number 3!
I know a few on here talk about how Durham's tail never wags, from from about 7 down we basically have a load of number 11's.

Couple that with the bulk of our bowlers being young kids, and it isn't really conducive to winning cricket!

Bloody hell marra, that's extreme - Foakes is a decent bat, I'd have him in the Ashes squad.

Aye. Your bowlers haven't made much impact with regards to number of wickets. I wonder if a flat Test match type pitch is a problem - loads of draws suggests strong batting but a difficulty in taking wickets.

Doesn't Foakes bat at around 5?
 
If Somerset win it'll cause a massive shockwave amongst the big lads.

Hampshit, Surrey, Yorkshire and Middlesex all in the mire.

The Currans and Foakes will still end up playing for England

Derby's have just beaten Sussex ... which puts Durham back to 2nd bottom.

Win our last 2 games, bemoan the 4 others we should have won and the ridiculous 48 point penalty and we can say we've had a good season in the CC.
