Brydon Carse’s 10-wicket haul at Christchurch, in his third Test, came as no surprise to John Windows, who has known him since he first rocked up to the Durham Academy as a teenager, all emu legs and broad smile. “He played as an overseas player in the league in Burnmoor just around the corner from Chester le Street,” Windows says.
“He played for them for a year, and it was straightforward after that, he joined the academy. Everyone was talking about him, as a super lad and a fast bowler.”
