Durham v Sussex - Day 1

[Peter Grummit]

The most important game of the season, so far.

If Sussex play like we did last week against the Tykes then we will wipe the floor with them.

News on the vital toss coming up. Weather set fair for the 4 days.

Anyone in a position to report from the ground?

Otis is gonna f*** us up.

 

[Mendoza]

Whos batting 1st

 

[Peter Grummit]

Apparently coming up on Sky sports news. Can someone with access report?

PG

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The openers.

If anyone is going to f*** us up, I would rather it be Otis Gibson than any other bowler on the County circuit.

Today is the day we hand over the trophy to a much more deserving county.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Are they doing commentary via SCR? The site is out of date which is ominous.

Durham won the toss and elected to field first

 

[Peter Grummit]

We are batting, but they put us in!

Suggests they have left the wicket grassy.

[Gazwag]

Warwickshire won the toss and elected to bat first
Kent won the toss and elected to bat first

in the other two important games

So would I if I were playing Mushy and Co. [leave the wicket grassy].

Martin Speight reporting on SCR, but no sign of commentary.

He said that the wicket has grass and urham have beaten the bat a number of times already. But he didn't give the score!

[REDLAND]

Hooray both Mustard and Onions are playing, seeing them both on the team sheet always makes me chuckle

 

[Peter Grummit]

Nashy takes Otis for 2 fours in his second over.
10-0.

300+ probably a good score!

I need the commentarY! There is a link from the BBC cricket page but it is dead.

PG

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Sussex 20-0.

 

[Simster]

Sussex 20-0.

Yeah but just watch us collapse to the champions elect.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Make that 27-0 in the 4th over! Best form of defence and all that!
