Durham 2nd xi T20

[The Red Telephone]

Enjoyable day yesterday and good to see McKinney scoring a big century against an experienced Lancs side.

First time I've visited the Burnopfield ground - it seems to be twice the size of Jesmond where I last saw Durham 2nds play the same opponents in a red ball game.

 

[one footed wonder]

Hope to get along tomorrow
Shameless plug - I can recommend the Joinery cafe on the main road just along from the entrance to the cricket club.

I can second that, cracking little cafe

I'm gonna try and get along in Wednesday again and will get in early and sample it. My plan was ruined by the fact it shuts in the middle of the day

Lovely ground, cake facilities were excellent

Hilarious and totally accurate prediction from TRT should seek work as a weatherman.

He's no Jo Blythe like

Of course not..she doesnt provide books, cakes or stimulating conversation about cricket and favourite school dinners of yesteryear.

Or Lucy Verasamy - possibly more like a Paul Mooney.

Bowled a really good spell there, had Bohannon in trouble at times

But hasn't bowled since?
Glover and Maclinden are depressingly erratic.

Raining quite heavily now. Bohannon made his century before they went off.

No sooner did I post that and the rain stopped

Yes, I said this on the first page if you look back. He and his brother play their club cricket at Benwell Hill. I played against his younger brother, Rory, for CLS CC seconds at BHCC 2 for 3 weeks ago.

Quite likely I will be. Will let you know.

I see Sol Bell is playing for Warwickshire 2nd XI

I played with and against him since being 9 and he was along with Bushnell the best bat I ever saw coming through the DCB. I was astonished, given all the time and energy that the DCB spent on SOL over the years when they discarded him so early.

He was with Derbyshire last year and they didn't take Sol but I hope he resurrects his cricketing career and proves the DCB wrong.

All the best Sol!

Get this lad Morley in the test team...

 

[Struts]

Do they take card payments there? Might pop along tomorrow.
