A frustrating second day at Durham

Hi everyone,

We were really unfortunate on Thursday not to get some more wickets on the first day of the Test match in Durham. It was a really flat surface and the bowlers tried really hard, but they just couldn’t get anything for their efforts.

The conditions are tough - it may look sunny but it’s actually really cold. We’ve got to keep fighting though.

Friday was rained out which was frustrating as we were all psyched up and ready to hit the ground running to try and get some early wickets. This isn’t great in terms of getting back into the series, but we still have three more days so hopefully the weather will improve so that we can get straight back into it.

The guys are in good form though, despite not being able to play on Friday. After the match was abandoned, some of us went to the gym, while the rest of the guys hit the nets to get some batting practice in at the indoor facility. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel to relax and get focused for the game.

Stay tuned for more of the Digicel player diaries throughout the series in England.
