We've had Durham followers sat round us for the last 2 days. They are adamant that Borthwick will NOT be signing for Yorkshire. The source was Borthwick's dad.
The Guardian report of todays play mentions Surrey IF he leaves. I was talking to an unnamed Durham official when we played there 2nds at York a few weeks ago, again Surrey was mentioned IF he leaves.
If he could bat right handed then it might be different but a potential top 6 of Lyth Lees Borthwick Ballance Gale Lehmann would be all left handed and I think it's better to mix it up a bit
You're right Third Umpire.
One of the many reasons we miss JB is that as a right hander, he helps add variety to the batting line up and prevents bowlers dropping into comfortable lines of attack.
Like Dave Morton, I'm not particularly bothered about either Borthwick or Duckett. In any event, I'm confident Duckett will be an England player before very long.
Why does Gale get in our team when he doesn't seem capable of contributing runs on a regular basis, he also doesn't play one day cricket. This judgement shouldn't be a birth right.
