Durham's first XI

The Rat

Striker
For the proper cricket obviously, been hinted in a few threads, but whats the team when everyone is fit. I am really not sure on mine. Who bats 3?

Lees
Bancroft (C)
Steel
Harte
Burnham
Richardson (Wk)
Pringle
Raine
Carse
Potts
Rushy


Not sure on the wicket keeping situation but Richardson isn't good enough as a batsman anymore IMO

Really not sure about the batting, struggling to work out who people have more faith it.

Pringle as spinner when needed, 4 seamers, batting in depth

Would probably be my team

Yes, 5 seamers but... use Carse/Potts sparingly and hope they build up their fitness.
Raine is a more than capable number 7 and we know Weighell and Carse/Potts are likewise at 8 and 9.
 
As much as I love a team lineup, I’m completely clueless as to how we should be lining up come April :lol:

There’s a lot of spaces where nobody knows anything :lol:

Bancroft, Lees, Steel, Raine and Rushworth are probably the only ones you could say are guaranteed.

Salisbury and Richardson (especially with Poyntner away) will alsmot certainly start.

But a lot is up in the air, and 1 or 2 have made decent contributions in the warm ups so far as well
