I think he's a bit of a late bloomer , watching him towards the end of last season and this season he just seems to have a bit more of a zip. Bowling to plans and looking to take wickets, rather than just playing a holding role. Not sure if the emergence of sisodyia and Taylor gave him a kick up the bum, or if something just clicked for him.Originally Posted by Pearcey3
We’ve still got Byrom to come in and you’d think he’d be pencilled in for the opening job, but I remember him batting at number four or five when he played last season and he didn’t go in first for the seconds, so maybe Maynard sees him as a middle order batsman?
I suspect he may come in as an opener given our middle order is very strong. I can’t see the Salter experiment continuing once Byrom is fit. Salter might stay in the side though at the expense of one of the bowlers and bat at eight.
Billy Root in for Glamorgan who have won the toss and put Durham in - as usual, plenty of online coverage of the game.
Nice to see van der gugten back aswell. Great opportunity for Root after a good score with the 2nds. Would be nice to see him carry on that form
I may be slightly biased. But all this glam v stokes, stokes v marnus stuff that keeps popping up on previews is winding me right up. Stokes v Neser fair enough, decent comparison. But Marnus is on another level, best test batsman in the bloody world!!
Durham 81-2, looks a good pitch despite its green tinged appearance.
I see an ex Glamorgan player, Brendan McCullum ( he played for them in 2006) seems likely to become the coach of England's red ball team according to the Telegraph and Guardian.
Matthew Mott the former Glamorgan coach is an outside bet for the white ball job (Paul Collingwood appears to be favourtie)
A bit late with this but it was nice to see Aneurin Donald get some runs the other day in his first first-class match since 2019.

I was surprise he is now 25, but of course he has missed several years sadly.
Very inconsistent for Glamorgan I remember but he was only 22 when he left them.
I hadn't realised he invented the scooping slap shot often seen in the IPL these days

Would be nice to see him do well. Very talented player!
Matt Mott?
Is there any truth in the rumour that he once played American baseball as backstop?
Matt Mott the Mitt
He also has a dog and once studied at the institution formerly known as UWICMatt Mott?

I think you are right, I think I Met Matt Mott the Mitt's mutt.
His name escapes me though.
Actually I believe he studied meterology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where his lecturer was also called Matt Mott,who incidentally had a dog.
I have never met either Matt Mott but I have met the dog. So as I once told a mate of mine........
I met Matt Mott's Mit Met Matt Mott's mutt, mate
99-3, a wicket for Hogan off the first ball of his second spell.
Presumably, Donald will have, or has had, a contract extension after being injured for so long, but I was wondering if we’d be interested in taking him back at some time, but the gossip I heard was that he didn’t leave under the best of terms.
Like the idea of McCullum as England coach, but I’d have thought he was better suited to the one day stuff.
Yes McCullum has built a reputation as a white ball coach (although KKR aren't doing so well in the IPL this year).
However this trbute from Kane Williamson albeit from when McCullum was still a player but was NZ test captain suggest that he does have the people skills to do the job ( not sure that has always been the case with England coaches)
My favourite touring side of recent years was the one McCullum captained in 2013 it might have been (far more enjoyable than the yet another bloody Ashes series which followed it). They were the epitome of playing the game the right way, if he could achieve half of what he did there, England are going to be fun to watch in the coming years.
2 in 3 for Hogan to leave Durham 290/9. Great effort considering Durham has been a batting paradise so far this year.
Wow very good effort that
McCullum gets the job.
The bowlers have done well
Unsurprisingly Salter already gone though. This must be the last match he opens the innings. It was silly experiment.
8-2 now
31-2 at close with none of the key batsmen out.
That’s a pretty frightening Durham bowling line up, but I’d say this side bats all the way down to number ten, so I reckon we’re well in the game at the moment.
