I think there is a bit of a war at Durham. Rather disappointed in Onion's comments to be honest, and it is rather worrying when a senior play talks like that. Yip, he is probably on his way out. Not much loyalty in cricket is there? It is getting more and more like football now.

No idea why? All have little to no chance of an international career and Durham will be one of the favourites to go up next year if they stayed.

I agree. Jennings got into England by being a Durham player and the reason he got dropped from England is not that he was a Durham/division two player but that he looked like a rabbit in headlights playing for England. Moving to Notts is not going to change that fact. The success of Essex also somewhat pays a lie to the theory of this massive gulf between divisions. Durham have turned their championship around without Stoneman and Borthwick; without that gigantic penalty they almost certainly would be in contention if they retained Jennings and Onions and others. If they retained Stoneman and Jennings they might have managed it this season!
There is really no 'safe prospect' if you want to journey to a club that are always going to be division one, and most of the time competing for the title, in order to improve England test prospects - in fact Durham are as good as any club really. Notts got (properly) relegated last season. Middlesex (last year's champions) and Yorkshire (2014-15 champions) are fighting a relegation battle now. Somerset are nearly always division one (if that is what you require) yet have not won a championship in their 100 plus year history (Durham have three and we have only been first class since 1992)! There is no safe and assured division one-England test path here. Since the Yorkshire-Surrey dominance ended in the late '60s, the championship has been passed around from club to club.

Big win for Middlesex. Leaves Somerset in a touch of trouble.

Yea with Finn pretty much doing anything non-shite catapults up him the list, whilst the opposite seems to have a minimal effect.

I pray we don't take Finn, he is done. Had so much potential as a youngster and hasn't fulfilled it.

Ballance more understandable considering our revolving door of inadequate batsmen combined with his consistently great CC form.

Add in he is probably the best short leg of all the current players and it is another tick in his box. I think he will go to Australia even though personally I wouldn't pick him.

Well at least then there'll be a chance of Ballance moving his feet forward if there's a gust of wind.

Warwickshire winning here over Yorkshire would make next week very interesting.

Even though there's no WK, I think the team Ballance would be Finn

Duckett joining Hameed with broken fingers in the last couple of days.
