Quiz question

Which 2 Durham players acting as sub fielders took 3 catches between them in the Eng v WI 2nd Test in May 2009 at the Riverside 🤔
 

Borthwick for sure, as I remember he was very highly rated at that time

Cant think of the other one, dont think he made it here though?
Borthwick took 2 .The other lad played for the Academy and 2nds .Later played first team for Notts .
 
Such a shame that Varun Aaron bouncer destroyed his confidence, as well as being second only to Jimmy for wickets he’d have a lot further up the test runs list if he’d maintained a mid 20’s average. I remember him making that big knock with Trott against Pakistan, seemed he was destined for all rounder greatness at that stage.

Still, 3500 test runs isn’t too shabby to go with 500+ wickets. Hopefully he’s not done yet.
