Aldridge wouldn't have been allowed to come without some guarantee on selection which means he'll be ahead of Minto and Killeen. Durham are short of experience in seam bowling for the the 4 day game but this should have been addressed in the close season with permanent signings. Connors doesn't appear to be an asset from the little we've seen of him.

He's not looked up to much
Has to be a Balance mind if they think this lad can come in and perform straight away then fair enough

Minto should be playing this competition in my opinion

The handful of games he's played for the 2nds have just been as a batsman owing to an injury. I've a feeling he'll go the same way as Ollie Gibson.

Shame as there is some raw potential there, but he really needs to force an opportunity to show it soon.
T20 so far has seen Raine and Clark the only lads been anywhere near our youth setup. May aswell be watching a franchise team

Very underwhelming signing first class average of 23 with the bat and 39 with the ball.

Somerset offered him a new deal.
He got called up for the Lions too. Defs a good player there.
Unlike Glover and Conners this a much better pick up from another county.
In relation to his record he's 24. I imagine if you looked at Carse and Coggers records at a similar age they'd be similar. Plus he's only played division one cricket too.

Good luck to the lad. 3 year deal is fair enough it shows a commitment by the club, however I'm still disappointed we didn't show that sort of commitment to one of our own lads.

I just fail to see what he is mate is he a batting all rounder a bowling all rounder his record is average. I was not overly impressed by his bowling in the T20 bar the one good game.
It looks simply like a squad filler signing I don’t see be better with the bat than any of our established players.
His record with the ball who put him as a 5th/6th level seamer.
Hope he does well but not the type of signing we need.
I feel player recruitment is key and have found some of our recent pick ups a bit odd.
You’re looking for a signing to have a lot of scope to improve or instantly improve the squad I feel he does meet either of those.
We shouldn't be signing players on "imagines". He's not a youngster at 24 hence those statistics are underwhelming. Notwithstanding I hope he does well.

His stats are mixed I agree but I know for a fact he’s very highly thought of by a lot of people in the game, who think this is a bit of Great deal for Durham
Let’s see if it pans out tho

I imagine he'll probably be at the Fixtures Meeting on Thursday morning.
