I think I saw you earlier but ironically we were both on the phone 😂 then you'd disappeared. Unless it wasn't you in which case forget I mentioned anything

After 2 years umpiring 2nd games former players such as Colonel would be rewarded with promotion to the 1st class list. He's been overlooked in the interests of diversity.
I'll say no more.

Wouldn’t be hitting the ball straight down the ground if she’s umpiring, cost me a boundary

Standard was appalling last year mind
 
Just looked as the scorecard for today interesting that Clark batting at 3 that would suggest that Brandon was right in his preview on this thread that Keegan when he arrives will bat at 3 and Borthwick and Bedingham move down one position in the order.
I know it's just the students but good to see the late middle order chipping in with runs I reckon their contribution will be vital this season.

Disappointed with Borthwick on that, would like to see him bat the same as his first stint at Durham, ie at 3 and aiming to score 1000 per season.
 
As a side note to this match their is a video of Carse doing sprints on the outfield at the Riverside today and stating it's week 16 of his rehab.
Don't know how far that is away from him bowling competitively but he looked a good yard quicker than any of Sunderland's back four.

Here with his lass
 
Really enjoyed today. Quite surreal sitting all day on a grass verge in glorious sunshine in March in a ground I don't think I've seen Durham play at since 1994. Good to see the middle/lower order putting runs on the board and nice as always to catch up with some old faces.

Was a canny turn out and I have to say the student spectators were impeccably behaved unlike that lot who turned up at the Riverside last summer.

All in all a really nice way to start the season.

That’s the beauty of a casual day at the cricket though!
