I'd have hailed a cab several years back. Hopefully you won't be waiting so long for the next win! Well, we have won at Chesterfield in those barren years, so that helps a little. jimbo jones, Crewton and Comrade 86 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 The article in the DET sheds a different light on this story. Turning down singles, not letting kids bat, all in protest at the opposite team ranking up runs. The guy who did it sounds a bit of a fool really.

DuPavillon took 5 wickets (4 bowled) in the first innings. Neither him or Moore are bowling in the second innings which makes me wonder if both will be in the squad that goes to Sussex.

jimbo jones Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) It has been confirmed that Sam Conners will leave at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see where he goes. I wonder if a lack of T20 opportunities is a factor. Durham have announced he's signed for them. Edited August 28 by jimbo jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a tad expensive in the T20 and 1 day format. Hopefully Aitchison will be back next season 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aways felt Brown was signed to replace him and with Moore coming through as well we have plenty of options, especially if Aitchison can get fit 🤞 Eddie, rammieib, Crewton and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are in the squad. 1-8 picks itself, then its 3 from Moore, Brown, Dupavillon, Morley, and Potts. I always like a frontline spinner, so I'd play Morley. If he impresses again we should look to extend his loan and even enquire about making his stay more permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
