Will be interesting to see how he goes.

I see that Bostock says we are 100% committed to having a Silly team. So that's nice.... I can hardly wait (sarcasm alert). Presumably this is after lots of research into the views of members on the subject

I rather wish that he'd followed the modern trend of saying we were 110% committed, because then I'd know for certain that he was talking out of his @rse

That'll be the very members who donated their membership fees, "Durham Defenders",during the Covid season.

Me too. Must have decided pro sport is not for him and I suppose it's better to come to that decision when he still has plehty of other options.

Bedders is in for the India test. They have him batting at 6 in the order. Fielding today though

Good start. Out for 56 - a good delivery according to ESPN - and a 131 partnership with Dean Elgar. Ridiculous that the SA board have effectively forced tue latter into retirement.

[Durhamfootman]

pleased for him. 56 against a strong India side is a good start. As far as I can tell, SA haven't anything on during the county season.... which is handy

Yeah. Seems very early for it.

[Durhamfootman]

nothing on the website about the members meeting last night

I'd like to say that that surprises me......... but I can't

The lions are playing India A atm. The England line up includes Lees, Robbo, Carse, Potts and Parky. That's a lot of Durham players

Jennings is playing too
