Ed Joyce out!
58/1
great start, but not looking that good now.
Wells needs to get those runs alongside Nasher and Múzza.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes good start, the younsters need to show some patience and maturity now if we are to build a score.

 

[Trufflehound]

Wells needs to get those runs alongside Nasher and Múzza.

Good plan. But won't the umpires notice if there are three batsmen on at the same time?

Enjoying the co-commentary from an NSC lurker this afternoon!

81-1, Durham need just 9 wickets to secure their win.

Uncle Mike could have a word 'nothing in the rules saying we cannot rotate the runner...'

 

[Titanic]

Nash gone. 98-2

8 to go for Durham to ease to their expected win.

Sussex limping along to 123-3

Staving off the inevitable for now... as we approach the tea interval.

 

[Titanic]

Tea

Sussex 132-3

Wells 30* Goodwin 22*

Durham will want to get a move on in the final session and finish this off tonight.

 

[brightonmark1234]

Sussex require another 177 runs with 7 wickets remaining

were rubbish we should of gone out to get some batsman to make our batting line up stronger but we didnt and its time for goodwin to step up and get the runs we know he can and joyce and nash and hodd

Yes because it was OBVIOUS that Wright and Yardy would come back from the Winter Tour injured or incapacitated wasn't it? Slot those two back in and this becomes a far more balanced & stronger team straight away.

It might help if our Senior Batsman did a bit of pre-season work rather than just turning up Day 1 and expecting he'll be in rhythm.....

Finally Nash has averaged 55 in this game and I still have a nagging feeling he is underachieving - unfair?

No. He just needs to learn to convert his great starts to 3 figure scores.

 

[brightonmark1234]

okay i just thought we should of gone out to strengthen are batting line up

 

[Titanic]

Straight after tea... Goodwin goes. Too much cake?

149-4
