Durham Vs Yorkshire T20 - Fri 11th June 6.30pm

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

No Ben Stokes in our squad. Worth noting Bairstow, Malan and Rashid are involved for Yorkshire tonight.

Surrey playing Middlesex tonight. For those who accuse us of just signing anyone and being a London Hampshire, not a single overseas player tonight. Plenty of academy talent too

Not sure this is the thread for the chat on this, but looks a strong batting line up. Bit light bowling maybe?

At least a seamer light. Topley out with a side strain

Stokes is injured though. Hardly an ECB issue like you are implying

Very strong looking Yorkshire side mind - gonna be a tough one for us

Roy and the Currans were born overseas TBF, and you poached Overton.

Is he injured? I watched him in the nets less than 2 weeks ago and he was perfectly fine. I believe he was given permission to play in the T20 also.

Pity Stokes not available hopefully see him at some stage. Looking at the 14 it looks like Campbell and Salisbury miss out with one of Dickson Burnham or Eckersley.
Personally would like to see Bancroft open with Clark and give Raine the chance to have a go at 3 and keep Bedingham at 4.
My XI would be
Bancroft
Clark
Raine
Bedingham (wk)
Dickson
Burnham
Carse
Borthwick
Coughlin
Trevaskis
Potts

Giving Burnham the nod over Eckersley purely because he is the best boundary fielder with the best arm we have especially at the Riverside.

We still produced 'em

Besides I know one of the Currans was born over here!

I’m not having that Paul Stirling is younger than me.

He's almost as fat as me

My wife has just said the same thing

Just coming back, evidently wasn’t deemed fit to play yet - his time will come

Agree about Burnham although there's a danger the local NIMBYs might get him banned for noise pollution after 9pm.

Bigger! Thought it started at 7pm. Finish graft at 6.

Rushy playing for Sacriston this weekend

I would give the gloves to Bancroft rather than Bedingham - the latter didnt look too hot behind the stumps yesterday in the 2nd game against Notts.
