Durham CCC


Anyone living close to the ground? Is the river level high? Just worried that with all the rain we have had there is nowhere for the water to drain just like a couple of seasons ago when the first match was abandoned due to the water table being too high

At Washington the river is high and fast moving. But, tbh, I wouldn't worry about it this far out, a dry, the levels can go back to normal pretty quickly.

Probably a bigger concern is how Vic's close season schedule has been affected.
 
Ben Stokes has took a cricket ball in the face.


The ‘could play in the early Championship rounds’ is the bit I was most interested in.

I’ll believe it when it happens like, but the international schedule this year is far easier for players such as Stokes leading into the summer than it has been in most recent years.

No chance the season starts on time. Ground will be drenched for weeks still yet.
The ground has a reputation for being fast draining. So, I reckon the issue to probably be have the groundstaff been able to get out to prepare the pitch properly? It might be a little spicy for the first few games and is that better or worse than being as dead as the proverbial dodo as in the past couple of years.
