After some years of
unfulfilled intention, the conjunction of a day free from commitments, good
weather and Durham CCC playing at home finally occurred so I bus-passed it to
Chester-Le-Street and strolled to the delightfully situated Riverside Ground to
see day one of Durham v Glamorgan; I viewed each of the three sessions from
different stands as the sun (or more importantly the shade) moved around,
ending up close to the players’ steps, which position benefitted from a fine
backdrop provided by Lumley Castle (framed by two towering floodlight pylons),
a pint of cold John Smiths beer, and a lively end to the day’s play with Durham
taking five wickets in the session to reduce Glamorgan to 221 for 7.
