It is impossible not to notice Daniel Hogg and after a superb weekend, people will start to take note. In the late evening Chester-Le-Street sunshine, the 6ft 7 Durham seamer casts an outfield-wide shadow. But it was his performance on his first-class debut that stood tallest, his remarkable figures of seven for 66 perhaps giving England another glimpse of the future.
Durham’s innings and 17-run win over Nottinghamshire was anchored by the 19-year-old, who started a stunning 24 hours on Saturday lunchtime with his maiden wicket in professional red-ball cricket and ended it with match figures of eight for 100.
It was a stellar performance by any measure. But considering the absence of injured former New Zealand seamer Neil Wagner, a pitch good enough for to make 531 first innings runs, and Hogg’s inexperience, it was a remarkable showing. , Matthew Potts and Ben Stokes all on England duty, and Paul Coughlin and Brydon Carse unavailable, Hogg peaked on a day as the latest hunch pick of the Bazball era.

At Durham they adore their homegrown players. The cries of “c’mon Hoggy lad” from the Paul Collingwood Pavilion before his every delivery could be heard even above the devilish wind. purred as he watched Hogg take the initial hop that marks the beginning of his run-up before galloping in and releasing the ball from a point nearer heaven than earth.
The Durham coaches – former England quick Graham Onions among them – have worked hard across the past year to get Hogg confident enough to hurtle the ball down the pitch rather than just place it there. The graft is bearing fruit.
Campbell, who was commentating on the live stream, also rightly sounded a note of caution: Hogg needs to be given time to develop properly. This is the 19-year-old’s first summer on a rookie deal, and he has previously missed extended periods with ankle and shin injuries. Nothing unusual for a young, growing, fast bowler, but it will take a little time for Hogg to fully trust his body.

Campbell zipped back to the balcony when there was a hint of a Hogg hamstring tweak, but it was a false alarm. The youngster had, with everything going on, simply not re-hydrated properly and had a touch of cramp.

Credit should go to his captain Scott Borthwick. Hogg’s initial three-over spell was fuelled by nerves and adrenaline. He conceded 26 runs. But Borthwick timed Hogg’s re-introduction perfectly with Nottinghamshire wobbling in their first dig. From that point, his remains 30.3 overs over the course of the match cost just 74 runs and brought eight wickets.
Also watching on with pride was his head of cricket at Durham School, Mike Fishwick. Hogg was Manchester-born but grew up locally. He was not, though, part of the county youth set-up until Fishwick called John Windows, Durham’s academy director, imploring him to look at Hogg. He was taken to the Taunton Cricket Festival at under-14 level and never glanced behind him again.
Hogg’s batting is also a strength – he opened at youth level – and is a talented football and rugby player, too. Younger brother Patrick is an England under-18 international in the latter sport. Hogg’s mission now is to add a little bulk to his frame without losing his natural athleticism. That will add the extra yard or two of pace to make him more threatening still.
Surprisingly, Hogg’s bowling boots are a mere size 11.5. But the footprints in which he hopes to walk are gargantuan.

In its relatively brief first-class history, Durham and quick bowling have strolled hand in hand along the River Wear. Something in that water has helped them nurture Steve Harmison, Liam Plunkett, Onions and, more recently both Wood and Potts.
Give it a few years and Hogg’s name may be mentioned in the same breath.
 
I think of the 18 we’re down the pecking order of wanting rid of now, despite them trying their best in 2016

If anything that almost gained support for us, lot of journalists and county members seem to have a lot of time for us. Almost like a second club for some

Sam who does the club comms is a journalist at the telegraph so guess it means we get some good national coverage, bet no other nationals would have been there this week

The sanction was purely vindictiveness by one individual who shouldn't have been involved because of conflicting interest.
 
Scored a hundred against us back in 2021 in the hetton Lyons Sunday league. Didn’t give a chance away iirc. I think he was opening the bowling for Durham city 1sts as well.
