Great signing if he can stay fit

And one who manages them better, as I keep saying, the amount of injuries to our bowlers in my opinion isn't bad luck, especially when you see Robinson and Connors getting a lot of time in Australia.
I am "ok" with the signing of Roach as it's another option in what I believe to be a very poor bowling attack

Are you sure they are playing a lot of cricket in Australia or is it weekend club cricket. Massive difference in the work load. County cricket is brutal especially for young quicks.
They're playing 2nd Grade club cricket in more favourable temperatures making bowlers less prone to injury. Matches are of 2 days duration spread over consecutive Saturdays .i.e they're generally bowling 1 day in fourteen.

I think it's 2 day games. They've played nothing at Durham though
.Really hope we can see more of Luke Robinson this year, he's a good lad

Saw him bowl at Philly last game of last season. Very impressiveI think it's 2 day games. They've played nothing at Durham though
Really hope we can see more of Luke Robinson this year, he's a good lad

Just hope he gets a chance and stays fit. Just the sort of lad I want to see do well for Durham as he gives it absolutely everything when he does play.

And no six hour plus car journeys up and down the British motorway system.

Looks as if he's kept himself in good condition.

fantastic interview that. I remember that game in 2011 as well
cricketer interview
Of all the opponents Kemar Roach has faced in his 18-year first-class career, none has put him off his stride as much as a storm called Dave.
Or, rather, the howling winds that heralded Dave's arrival in England's northeast. The sudden gusts blowing across the Riverside were so powerful they almost appeared to lift the West Indies pace bowler off his feet as he ran towards the crease during his debut for Durham.
The result was an unusually high tally of no balls - eight in all - for Roach in a tough introduction to Chester-le-Street conditions in April.
"It's probably the toughest I've ever had to bowl into the wind today," laughed Roach. "But I'll adapt, it's my first time. The cold, the wind, it is a little challenge. But I like a challenge. Once I come out on top, I know that I've put the hard hours in, and I've adapted well."
"It gives me the opportunity to work on my game consistently. I'm still playing for the West Indies. Hopefully, I can get to some series this year. But it keeps me fit. It keeps me active. County cricket is a grind, back-to-back cricket, travelling all over the country. It can be tough, but it's rewarding. And to perform in county cricket, it makes you feel good. So I like coming back, keep performing for all the teams that are willing to have me
