Two day game then

Durham commentators cock a hoop that Jofra is not playing

Why is he not playing?

Can't be ARSED.

Finch goes to his first ball

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Wells needs 30 odd runs to go past 1000 for the season. As usual with Wells its been feast of famine but he certainly put in some good performances.

Just looking at Archers stats. 58 wickets at under 25s. What a talent he is!

Fantastic player and great to watch - such an upright bowling action. Lets hope Stu and George can fill his shoes today. Garton has been unlucky not to play considering he is a fixture with the Lions.

Finch goes first ball, just as he did earlier in the season when we beat Durham by an innings. This all bodes very well.

Why is he not playing?

I don't know, may have to wait for Adrian to do the interviews later, but by all accounts he has played every game and commentators said he looked shattered against Derbyshire.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Durham v Sussex - Durham won the toss and will bowl first.

Strange that this has happened more than once with Sussex this season.

Great shame about Finch. LBW first ball can happen to anyone - he is definitely good enough in terms of technique/talent but his career hasn't really got going yet. Hope Wells has another good match. Not really bothered about van Zyl and Evans - fingers crossed for Salt.

Archer being rested makes sense.

Commentators said we wanted to bat so the toss worked well with both sides getting their wish

Get the batting collapse out of the way early?

 

[timbha]

but by all accounts he has played every game.

That's some achievement in today's cricket. Hope we don't ruin this great talent.

We really need a couple of decent performances/results to end the season.

Why doesn't Beer get a chance in 4 dayers and will we see Mags again?

Adrian saying on the commentary that Jofra must have picked up an injury as he has traveled up with the squad. But also added he has bowled the second most overs in the championship behind Simon Harmer for Essex who bowls spin.

Agreed the big cheque book from the Oval do not want him burnt out for next season. He will join Bros there.

Why not bothered about Saffer and Evans?
