Durham v Middlesex (day three, lunch)

12:55pm Friday 24th May 2013

No play before lunch, although it’s not as black as it was been over Bill’s mothers. That phrase has been rumoured to be a reference to Bill Proud, who hailed from Bishop Auckland and played 74 matches for Durham from 1947-55, many of them as captain. Unfortunately he had passed away before Lance Cairns’ arrival at the club, where the former New Zealand all-rounder enjoyed a few beers on Wednesday night with old team-mates like Bill Blenkiron.
