Now, it could seem like complaining to your neighbour when your house is burning down behind you, but I can't think of any other team that has done this whilst at home.
You're right that Trent Bridge is in Nottingham and not Durham. However, England isn't such a large country and the distances travelled aren't that large as they would be in Oz.

How would you know if the Sri Lankans were doing it? How do you know that they weren't using players from outside the district as substitutes? Did you care because you were winning?
