I remember Foster and Law having some decent games, I think Foster in particular was ravaged by injuries, although in the main the good performances were few and far between from each!
James Boiling was a lovely bloke..

Michael Richardson straight away, didn't get the praise he deserved especially in the 50 over game.

Still don't understand why he gave up the gloves in any form of the game.I have heard differing reasons but as as a wicket keeper batsmen he was a very competent and valuable county cricketer. As a specialist batsmen I always thought he was in that large group of batsmen Durham have had over the years who wouldn't score enough runs to cement s regular first team place.

He played well - then lost his form big style. Frustrating player. Never consistent enough.

His one day average speaks for itself. Good solid cricketer who got some astounding criticism

His 4 day average of 29speaks for itself

I agree. Very useful indeed for someone batting at 6ish.

I'd say an average of 29 where he bats is fine. People on here used to rave when Stoneman was opening and averaging about 32. You used to criticise Ryan Pringle for averaging 27 as well. Not really sure to this day how you come to that conclusion. Hey ho

You think averaging 27is fine

It is when batting where they did yes.

24 is perfectly fine for Pringle. I think Richardson at 4 day cricket batted all over the place but mostly around number 6. Again I stand by that his average is fine.

How is 24 fine how low does an average have to be for it to be poor imagine if someone in the England team was averaging that

I'd have no issues folk averaging that batting at number 7 which is where I think Pringle batted most of his Durham 4 day career.

What about 15in one day and bowling 65, if he got the odd hundred or odd match winning performance great but he doesn't, think he won one game for us
