Chairman   of  selectors  David Graveney divided his time between
watching England  on  TV  and  re-acquainting  himself  with  old
friends   as  he  saw Durham slip to a six-wicket defeat by Hamp-
shire at Chester-le- Street.

Graveney presented Durham with a cheque  for  -L250,000  from  the
Sports Ground  Initiative  then saw bowlers who had not performed
for two  weeks  concede  41  extras  as  Hampshire  skipper  John
Stephenson   fol-  lowed  up  his  four for 28 with 38 not out to
clinch victory with three overs to spare.
