Having found a considerable bit of humour from their most recent title chasing slip ups - largely down to their horrid doctoring of pitches and the fact that I always took immense pride in knowing that they’ve been around for over a hundred years and never won a Championship crown (despite us having won three in our infancy) - I’ve now come to the point where I want them to win the title this year. They’re currently 26 points clear of Hampfrica, with 5 wins and a draw from 6.
My reasons for this change of heart? They’re plentiful really, they too, like us have been shafted over The Hundred, they’re not a Test county, they aren’t Hampfrica, it’s about time their members had something to shout about (proper cricket wise) but above all - I see a hell of a lot of similarities in them to what I think we all want Durham to be, our raison d’etre if you will. The main one being that they seem to regularly produce a number of homegrown players and I think I’m right in saying their current success is largely down to that.
So there you go, ha’way Ciderabad!
