    Did you see that England are coming back to Durham for a T20 next August? I got an email about entering a ballot for the tickets. I remember you posting about going to the South Africa match when it was the heatwave. I've put in my details for tickets. Fingers crossed.

    My dad worked for vertu so often gets offered sponsor tickets (worked for that company and it’s predecessors since 1972 and retired after 50 years service). My boss also works fir Durham ccc part time so I have a couple of avenues if my ballot place doesn’t come through!!

    For everyone else - miracle fielding
    For Ben Stokes - just a normal day at the office

    The bloke is a freak

    Sadly got next to nothing for it. Never had the ambition to move up the chain. Just stayed on the workshop floor most of his life!!

    Always think DL games are unfair on the team batting 2nd. I'd say it should be tweaked slightly as these adjusted targets aren't always achievable

    The Irish cricket team are always a problem for us. We bowled terrible and our batsmen never got going. Fully deserved win for Ireland.

    Incredible innings happening for Das against India. He's just smashed 50 off 21 balls.

    Going be a tough one, but if they can get early wickets (inc Kohli) then they have a chance.

    Indian commentators and Indian crowds really bug me. The commentators are ridiculously biased towards their own team, whereas the supporters go mental even when it's a dot ball.

    I'm a miserable bastard I know
