***Durham v Sussex, 3-6 September, Chester-le-Street, LVCC Div 1***

[chimneys]

Ah well, that's that for the season then, 3rd place in the LV 1 and useless in everything else.

You are confident! With us still to play Durham again and Yorkshire, and Middlesex/Warwickshire breathing down our necks, we could easily still get 5th!!

 

[keaton]

It's a shame that Prior isn't playing any form of cricket, but is still not allowed (I assume by the ECB) to play for Sussex.

It's a little odd. From their point of view surely it would be good for him to playa bit and get some form before the end of the season, and it's two and half months till the first test over there isn't it?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

That's the wrapped up. it's between Durham and Yorkshire for the Championship

 

[chimneys]

103/7. Look on the bright side-we have avoided the follow on! And Friday is a write off weather wise!

Glass half full-of course!

Glass half full-of course!

We can hang on for a draw.

That's the spirit lads.

 

[Simster]

Gutless twunts.

111/9

 

[chimneys]

111/9. So if you were Collingwood, with what kind of lead and by when would you think of declaring, bearing in mind Friday very unlikely to get any play?

Tea today, 300 lead for me.

Better than expected

If we had not avoided the follow on, it would have been all over by 5.00 .

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Durham 57/3 second time.

 

[chimneys]

Durham 54/3. Must be a tricky wicket!

 

[Simster]

They will still win by over 100 runs.

 

[Pavilionaire]

93/6

Shocking performance. Again.

Yesterday morning I looked at our batting line-up and wept.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

They will still win by over 300 runs.

Fixed for you.

 

[Taybha]

84-4

This will probably be over by tomorrow. Wicket looks terrible to bat on, and we have no batsman!
