[Cricket] ***Specsavers CC Div 2, Durham CCC v Sussex CCC, Chester-le-Street, 10-13 Sept 2018***

[Moshe Gariani]

Another massive game for our boys.

Chilly but dry up North.

 

[Zawn Kellys]

BBC saying start delayed due to bad light!

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Will be time for plenty of overs to get a result up there.

 

[Gwylan]

Luke Wright not in squad.

Looks like it's between Burgess and Rawlins for a batting slot

Must win for the lads......

Looks like a decent pitch. Interestingly, the wickets are complete with bails. I always thought that before and between play at least one of the wickets should be broken/left incomplete.

Come on Sussex.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Kent and Warks both fielding first.

(only joking)

We'll surely bowl first here?

Glad you spotted it. I love using the word "interestingly" to preface an observation of that type. Mrs G assures me that it is extremely humorous...

You'd have thought so but I guess anything is possible. What have the scores been like at Chester-le-Street this year?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

The umpires are out in the middle and one of them just fiddled with the bails...

Wandering out of shot again now...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Middlesex (27-1) and Leicestershire (26-1) have both lost their first wicket...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Looks like its brightening up a bit.
Depends where the weather's coming from but it usually comes from over there and that doesn't look too bad.
We should be able to get started fairly soon hopefully.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

11.35am start

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Darren Stevens takes a wicket with his first ball...

Middlesex 39-2

Uncontested toss. Sussex Bowling.

 

[Gwylan]

Burgess in Wright. I'd have been tempted to put Rawlins in for Briggs - not sure how much spin will be needed

Yes... must have been a decision to make, especially bowling first. Hopefully will turn out to be a good call with Briggs making a useful contribution.

Looks like a further delay but hopefully not for long. Umpires are out in the middle taking readings and Jordan has stayed with them so far.

Is it really that bad light ?

No floodlights ?
