Durham further completed a great week with a spectacular 8 wickets win in their first one dayer of the season - beating Leicestershire (renowned one day specialists) at Grace Road yesterday.
Thorpe 4-30 and Gibson 3-20 bowled Leicestershire out for 138 and Durham knocked this total off in only 28 overs scoring 139-2 with Phil Mustard leading the way with 66.
DiVenuto with 24 has now scored almost 300 runs in 3 innings to make a great start for his new county.
