Used to love it when Durham seconds played at Ashbrooke (as I went to St Aidans) and Boldon. I was at Boldon doing the scoreboard for the match when Nick Knight hit 224 and 108

Rain. Of the meteorological not Benjamin variety.
When's the last time Ashbrooke hosted a Durham match of any variety? It felt like the county team used to play there all the time, in the minor counties, before I followed them.
And did anyone ever get round to removing I Love Carolyn from the wall?

Good to see Potts getting wickets, we need to find away to get him in the first eleven, I know it’s difficult when the team are doing so well, I just think there is a really good player in there, but he needs to develop at the top level, not on the seconds
Four for him now.

Potts 5 wickets
Trevaskis 2 wickets
Salisbury 1 wicket
Coughlin 0 wickets
Scott Steel 86
Vindication of all the crap I've been blethering on for months about
.
Make that six for Potts and three for Trevaskis. Yet Coughlin and Salisbury continue to get picked for the firsts.
.
Bancroft opening the batting with Dickson.
Just noticed Potts is captaining the side. Is this the carrot they toss him for not getting picked for the first team?

When Woods goes back to England duty Potts should take his spot.

Do you follow what's happening at Durham?
He bowled well in the first innings against Notts but otherwise been disappointing this season. He's averaging 30+, whereas Rushy, Carse and Wood are sub 20 and Raine mid 20's. He has also been ineffective and expensive for the seconds in the last two games. I have no doubt he will walk back into the team when Wood returns to England, as he's a known quantity, but we are never going to see what Potts is capable of unless he is given a chance. He really should have replaced Carse when he was injured. He's the form bowler for the second XI and had just made 92 with the bat, batting with the academy wicket keeper.
f***ing hell, he played 11 first class matches, mostly when he was 18 and 19. Even then he held his own without taking loads of wickets.
White ball he's been brilliant and was named in the Wisden young team of the tournament for last year's blast.
You thought Carse was crap and should have been playing second xi cricket tbf.
