As usual we host the University - Tuesday 7 April - a week before the Championship season begins for 3 days. Complete lottery with regards to what the weather will be like of course.

Any idea if any other fixtures are forthcoming?? As usual the club website and club Twitter are absolutely shite in keeping us informed. The team fly out to Dubai on 17 March for ten days, no doubt playing a load of T20 fixtures but as yet no information of any fixtures whilst over there.

We say it every year like but it seems like the proper cricket practice is a bit light on the ground.

Think we're playing a 3 day friendly, couple one dayers and a t20 tourmanet out there.

Don't know if it counts but 2nd's are playing Northumberland on the 19th & 20th of April at the Riverside.

Whoever it is it will be a higher standard than the university match they have been dreadful for the last decade.

Yeah, it is a bit shit. No idea why they can't play a Division Two side as a warm up game. Surely a more competitive fixture will bebefit both.

If the MCC insist on University fixtures then fair enough, we've got a free week after Somerset iirc.
 
Disappointed that they are once again playing the University at our place. Like going over to The Racecourse.
 
Been informed that Durham have signed another Irish player on a development contract. All rounder, I believe.
Yet again, nothing on website !
Any new academy signings ?

Barry McCarthy I have just been told. Played some second team games last season.

You heard who else has got development contracts, from last season Morley and Singh have been released, Coughlin has got a full contract, i think that just leaves Clark and Buckley on development contracts.

Peter Chase has been given a contract but he's also contracted to Ireland who have 1st call. Given our increasing Irish links wouldn't be a bad idea to play them in a pre-season fixture.

I've got to say after seeing him bowl I'm a fan of his, more so than of Coughlin.

Rammi been released? Shame, nice lad. Also Morley was bigged up not so very long ago and played in a couple of T20 games, although the one up here, against Yorkshire (?) he got smacked all over.

Anyone know what the craic is with Jack Burnham ATM Durham wise. Also the lad at Washington, whose name escapes me, wears glasses and captained the U17's when they won the nationals the year before last was supposed to be on the verge of getting some sort of contract?
 
Parkside said:
You're joking but he's still probably a better spin option than anything we've got at present.

Clearly a joke. The lad in question also has a brother who played for Washington but IIRC left the game to concentrate on playing Basketball. Can I hell think of the lads name.
