I played against Wasim Raja while he was still a test cricketer and he hit one of our guys for the biggest 6 you’ll ever seeYes some posters on another forum have plenty of stories of days of facing overseas pros etc.
We've not done as well on the batsman front as we have the bowling front. Hopefully McKinney can step up next, England supposedly stepped in wanting us to play him more!
It's Pakistan, it could happen. But even on a turning wicket, England look to have the better batsmen against spin and the best spinner.Fully expecting this mockers transgression to see them run through us tbh.
You have a long and storied tradition of pace bowlers, what are you eating up in the north-east?Potts was unlucky not to be in the first test. His performance on the India A tour was the best of the bowlers think he put up 20+ wickets.
A full Durham seam attack is class. For the youngest first class county it's production of England players is quality. I believe in this century is only teams that have produced more is Yorkshire and Surrey. Maybe since 2004 anyway!
I'd previously looked at a Durham/Surrey comparison.

Pakistan going with only 1 pace option for the second test!
If the pitch will end up spinning anywhere near as much as Pakistan seem to think, 400 will be a great first innings score, which is funny after 556 wasn’t enough last week!If eng bat first and score 400 wont all the drama done by pcb get wasted?
Well this could be a farce by day 3 having been used last week. Would be shocked if it isn't hard to bat on by day 3. Surely will do something for the bowlers...a good subcontinent pitch - road for 2 days, then a dust bowl the last 3. or road for 3 and a dust bowl for 2.
not a road for 5
It's basically what India do when England win a Test there.Well this could be a farce by day 3 having been used last week. Would be shocked if it isn't hard to bat on by day 3. Surely will do something for the bowlers...
At least that wasn't used a week before thoughIt's basically what India do when England win a Test there.
