Durham Match Thread 2019
Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2019 1:20 am
Durham has a new brand (woo hoo), a new director of cricket (whatever that is), a new lead high performance coach (whatever that is), a new overseas opening batsman (who keeps wicket for Western Australia, which will please Stuart Poynter a lot less than it pleases me) and a new T20 specialist........ a good one too!
It even has a pre-season programme a returning prodigal son and, of course, a new member
Most of the players (not called Stuart Poynter) have even been tied down to long term contracts, so won't be pinched quite so easily by Surrey, Lancs or Notts
Okay....... there's no captain, no batting coach, (and please don't ask for a T20 lead high performance coach as a refusal often offends) but these are very minor details with the new season a very, very lengthy 4 weeks away.... so absolutely no need to rush into things
welcome to the 2019 season...... it might even be emotional
