Well that’s promotion blown then. What a shame after our amazing run recently.

The start of the season gave us a lot to make up.

Durham lead Sussex by 307 runs with 4 wickets remaining
Still two games to play - one against leaders Warwickshire and then Kent and Warwickshire play each other.
So still to play for.
I am sure the club will see two wins on Saturday as a very successful season and money to then invest in the squad.

HHI, where do you see the investment most needed?

At the start of the season many had already written Sussex off. There is still a small chace of promotion ,plus we are in cup semi finals. I think considering the young side we have they have done well. Whatever happens this season I remain hopeful of further improvement next year,or am I living in dream land.?

Nope. Archer will only improve, and as long as England don't fast track him we'll have him for another full season.
The number of young and / or home grown players coming through is great as well.

Cheque books may be on their way from the Oval, Edgebaston et al?

So make that 340 A/O 321 to win , dig in today get a 100 on the board for 2 wickets and get the win by tea tomorrow, sorted
322 to win. We'll struggle to get 222
But, to echo Luppers' point, we're a young side with no overseas player (Archer doesn't count as one) and have done OK this season. If we had an Australian test batsman who can score daddy hundreds, we might have had a chance in this but it's been a good effort. The disappointment this year has been Wells; he couldn't stop scoring last year, nada this year. It hasn't helped having Van Zyl missing all season either.

I think we are going to have to get these runs, and I have a feeling we might do it.
We can dream...... no Goodwin or Adams I’m afraid

I thought this was the last day! With so many games finishing so quickly it had passed me by there is still another day to go in this one. I wondered why Durham were not looking to declare!
