Durham County Cricket Club in 2005

Durham County Cricket Club started the 2005 season as 20–1 to win the Second Division of the County Championship. However, their first two Championship games suggested they may be real title contenders: first they won by an innings inside three days, then by 7 wickets inside 2 days. They are playing their Sunday League cricket in Division Two of the totesport League. They started this campaign off well too, winning their first game, against Leicestershire by 9 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method. They followed this up with a heavy defeat of Surrey.

Durham lost its 100% record when their Sunday League game against Scotland was abandoned without a ball being bowled, then the next day their game against Sussex was abandoned half way through the game. On 4 May they were then knocked out of the C&G Trophy in Round One, when they lost to Derbyshire by 1 wicket on the last ball. This was followed by two back-to-back Championship games: victories over Somerset and Lancashire.
