Durham v Students, Riverside 26-28th March


Excluding Wood and Stokes what would our first XI be for county cricket?

Until we've seen the new lads it's pretty impossible to call. I'd go with this for now;

Lees, Jones, Borthwick, Bedingham, Ackermann, Clark, Robinson, De Leede, Raine, Potts, Parkinson

Then i just remembered Boland so i guess one of borthwick, clark, de leede and parkinson miss out depending on form and pitch.

Campbell said at the members meeting last week that we can expect to see more squad rotation depending on conditions etc. But as he seems keen on having a full time spinner, I would expect that Parky is just about guaranteed a place.

But if he talks of "rotation depending on conditions" surely that means whether an extra seamer in place of a spinner. Don't think we need a specialist spinner early season given that Borthwick and Ackerman offer a spin option. Nevertheless expect Parkinson will always get the nod.

Sure, unless hes crap. Im not gonna guarantee him a spot just because his brother was good.

And if Ackermann turns out to be the better bowler then we could have four seam, a spinner and still bat very deep
 
Agree with that but Campbell will always select DeLeede if he's available.
Yeah with someone saying there is going to be rotation from Campbell that is a possibility and no way are the ECB or probably Durham if their not greedy going to risk playing Carse in 6 championship matches on the bounce.
 
Does this game have FC status? Recently the ECB gave some uni games this status and some not. If this doesn't I assume we'll use more XI players in the game.
