Left-arm seamer Jamie Harrison made the most of the early-season conditions to pick up 10 LV= County Championship wickets at 26

An academy graduate like Jennings, Harrison made the most of the early-season conditions to earn 10 wickets at 26 with his left-arm pace but was held back by injury towards the end of the campaign.

Thorp, 37, who took 7-44 in Durham’s title-winning game at Kent in 2008, claimed 38 championship wickets at 20.76 this year.
