The Gloucestershire commentators are really laying into their bowler Gabriel.

They were saying he is on about £2k a match, he is bowling countless No Balls, and bowling so slowly.

They have timed 3 of his overs at about 7, 5 and 4.5 minutes long. They are 3 overs behind and will be docked points, they are saying he takes an age to get to his mark.

If we declare they would lose about 5 points right now apparently.

Their strengths all season have been in their bowling so it made little sense to take a punt on such an unknown quantity, especially having gone ALL season without a red ball overseas player, Now if they had a got a batsman...different story.

A good day.

A decent day and a decent lead. Push it past 150 and we could be in a winning position.

But we need to keep an eye on the weather over the next two days.

Dry tomorrow but may be bad light in the afternoon, Friday loks sunny and dry all day

I note that "Extras" are the second top scorer with a highly creditable 49, 38 of which were No Balls! And there was me thinking we were the "Extras" untouchables!!!

 

[DJ NOBO]

[timbha]

How could you possibly bowl 38 no balls! Was somebody ‘chucking’ it?

After a 30 minute rain delay at the start, Weise (67*) and Beer (39*) going great guns.

Partnership worth 89. Sussex lead by 156, with 3 wickets in hand
