Durham Cricket

After losing two straight games in which its batters failed to put up a respectable total on the board, Durham is in serious trouble. In the first game, they were dismissed for 75 runs, and in the second, Warwickshire bowled them out for just 101 runs. Batting at number four in this batting order is Dutch all-rounder Colin Ackerman, who was left off of the Netherlands T20 World Cup roster.

Ashton Turner is another seasoned and powerful all-round player to keep an eye on in Durham’s batting order. He has a reputation for finishing games and has done it frequently for Australia. After him at number six is Scotland’s Michael Jones, who has a striking average of 141 in seven Twenty20 Internationals. Top players include England captain Alex Lees, who has played ten Test matches, and Graham Clark.

With his wealth of expertise, Lees ought to be aiming for a big-impact knock to mark his return. This team has plenty of seasoned hitters and all-around players, but their performance right now raises serious concerns. So far, nobody has been able to even get off to a respectable start. Considering some of the prominent and talented players, the bowling attack is perhaps among the finest in the league.

Matthew Potts, Ben Raine, Ben Dwarshuis, and Callum Parkinson are all dependable bowlers that take wickets. Durham is simply not playing well right now, but they have what it takes to win.
