Just seen the post match interviews on Sky - not once did the Durham captain moan about the Stokes LBW decision.

Imagine a similar scenario in football where the best player suffers a perceived injustice? You'd get nothing else from the captain/manager other than slating the officials post match.

Showed some real class there.

And for once Sky has worked in our favour with no match on Finals Day thanks to Southampton (a) on the Monday. Off to Edgbaston we go..... :)

Good luck with getting tickets..

I also saw the pre-game interview with Mark Wood - came across very well. Plus the Durham lads applauded Evans' 50 which must have been hard. Durham are now my official 2nd team - anyone who plays and watches cricket in sub-Artic conditions deserves all the support they can get.

Fair point and also this week saw all the Derby guys applaud century from Ben Brown in county game, not talking high 5's and major hands over head applause but respect, especially as they were on top of game till Brown scored his ton. One of the reasons I love the sport, even if i fear for its future

Totally agree. The county championship has been written off more times than I've had hot dinners but it survives and provides a great back-drop to the summer. I'm of an age where it was just about the only show in town - I started watching cricket when the old Gillette Cup was in its early days. Who'd have thought (at the time) that limited overs formats would become the main course and not just a side dish. Looking on the bright side, there's something for everyone now and as long as England can keep filling the grounds for home Tests, re-filling the county coffers, getting a good deal from the TV companies then the texture of county cricket might be preserved for years to come.
