Potts must have flown from NZ to Zimbabwe and glad to be bowling again.

rumour has it that the Durham management have spent the whole winter studying a whole range of different approaches to adopt as their 'team style' for the new season
I imagine this is what they probably settled upon

not too much bowling was required. Lees, Jones and Bedders practising getting the long handle out

Potts, Raine and Carse will have to do the heavy lifting for much of the season, (ashes, Ireland and lions permitting for Potts and Carse). If de Leede is a genuine all rounder, then that frees up a slot for a spinner (presumably Trevaskis, who can also hold a bat)
Batting looks settled now that Lees is back, especially with Robinson in as a keeper batting at 5. de Leede or Coughlin at 7 leaves a straight bun fight between Clark and Bushnell at 6
With Lees and Potts in the side the line up looks half competitive, but take them out and we look a bit threadbare (not for the first time). I'm not sure if the lions are scheduled for anything. Sept is ODI month, but that should only affect us if Carse gets called up
