They said it would be lucky if play Friday, more hopeful for weekend.

Tbh I'm suprised they haven't just abandoned the match there and then.
Going to need a miracle to have any play.
They'll probably condemn the pavilion while they're at it.

I went for a walk down by the ground as I live close by and spoke with Mark one of the groundsmen. The whole field is soaken and as I walked off you could hear from one of the half open drains the watter pissing out and I assume into the River Wear.
If it miraculously clears up a bit and the field dries out there will still be some really sodden pieces of ground. However Durham are desperate to get on in preparation for the Kent game, which may also be in jeopardy if we get any more rain.
I'll be down tomorrow if its on though.

Durham Twitter feed stating the start will be delayed and very little chance of any play today.

Not really a shock given the amount of rain we've had. Just got to keep fingers crossed that we are good to go on Friday

Shame really as its a lovely day today in CLS, but yesterday when I went down the field was soaken, absolutely sodden.
Well at least they got more than 18
I'd like to think the club could get onto the Uni and possibly arrange for an extension of this game. Even if not officially, perhaps get the Uni lads to come to the ground tomorrow for a day of bowling in whites and with local umpires - just for that bit of extra 'match practice'.

Watched the first hour before our nets started at 12. Looks like they're only using half of the outfield!
Yes, 4 cans or a bottle of wine.

I thought as much, thanks.
