unlike in the IPL, he'll actually play for us

Ashton Turner returning for another Blast season. A glutton for punishment!

Him or Us?. Wholly underwhelming signing imo.

[Durhamfootman]

we need all the help we can get

Happy birthday DFM!

thanks Capt

when you get to my age you try not to notice birthdays

Boland ruled out for the season. Not entirely unexpected but still a blow. Presumably the search for a replacement is already underway.

[captaincolly]

Already sorted- Peter Siddle! He's nearly 40.

Boland out, banana man in

[Durhamfootman]

is he available for the game on Friday?

he used to play for Essex

According to the BBC he is. He must still be bowling well to be playing in his late 30's. Should be a good signing.

he's familiar with English conditions. It seems he's played for Notts and Lancs as well as Essex and Somerset.

he's always struck me as a very competitive player. I always got the feeling he would give everything, but also expect everyone else to do the same

It's a shame we never got to see Boland. I would have liked to see what he'd got

Agreed. He seems to have the ideal competitive temperament.

Me too. Maybe next year?
