    Agreed wholeheartedly. I’ve never been to Durham’s stadium so will make plans to attend a county match. Probably when yorkshire come up

    Problem Durham have is that the ground isn’t even in Durham city centre. Would get so many more if it was in the city centre due to transport links etc.

    Excellent transport links to the Riverside.
    You could piss to the A1 roundabout from there.
    Easy to reach from Consett, Stanley, Sunderland, Newcastle, Washington.
    Anywhere local really.

    Crowds are low at Durham cos cricket just isnt quite as popular up here......and the weather.

    With us winning the toss and batting 1st i reckon 350 is too low a target. We need 400 plus to put some scoreboard pressure on the aussies. Without Stokes holding the middle order together tho it could be difficult. Moeen ali is even more crucial with the bat now...
    Still can't believe it's not on sky!! Ffs man...

    As long as Smith and Warner are in together they won' be worried. Need to break this partnership.

    Any 1st innings lead now would be great. We need 2 early wickets tmorow then into their tail...
