roker1973
catch lads taras
brandonia
KP out, stupid shot.
Noz
Pietersen out for 42 - 251/3 - new ball due in 2 balls time
Mark
Come on Colly, let's have a wicket
Bowling change
Colly will bowl the last two overs from the press tent end. Sussex 96-3.
5:59pm
brandonia
Ha'way Colly!
Mark
He's shirking his responsibilities!
safcluke
Not been on all day, looks like we've bowled canny.
brandonia
I should be captain, seeing as Norm is still AWOL!
Bowling change
Ask and you shall receive..on comes Scott Borthwick - he'll get two overs tonight.
5:56pm
Mark
Yeah, bring Scotty on
brandonia
Fully agree Mark, you'd think they don't want to play! Need a wicket like, I'd give Scotty a go at Mitch's end.
Mark
Some of the rules in this game baffle me, it;s ridiculous not to be able to 'make up' some overs.
Latest
Sussex 90-3 in the 36th over...five overs remain this evening
5:49pm
brandonia
Looks like the weather will intervene tomorrow now too.
brandonia
ECB should look at that rule. I agree Noz.
Noz
Seems bizarre/ridiculous but thanks Yvette
Response to Noz
No, we could catch up of we had lost any over today but it doesn't carry on from yesterday.
5:42pm
roker1973
10 mins lads just gannin to get DE liced
roker1973
thats what i thowt annal noz
brandonia
Nee idea what time marra, the commentator just said there were 10 overs remaining on the scoreboard.
Noz
Can we not play later to catch up what we lost yesterday?
roker1973
thanks might get a couple oot
Update
We play until 6pm this evening. Sussex 80-3 after 32 overs. Rushworth and Claydon continue
5:37pm
Mark
I agree. Get him on with fielders around the bat-when it gets near the close the batsmen might just be thinking of survival.
roker1973
brandon wat time we playing too ?
brandonia
10 overs left, I'd give Scotty a go. One things for sure, we MUST get atleast one more wicket before Close.
2XI update
2XI: Durham 174-5 after Myburgh is out lbw for 55. Another good knock!
5:28pm
BrianT
Colly obviously doesn't listen cos he's put Mitch back on. I'm off then till tomorrow.
Mark
Depends on the pitch, if the ball is nibbling around then Colly could be very effective. You're probably right though, Borthwick the better option.
roker1973
allreet lads just got in from graft are we still playing doon there or is ther rain ?
BrianT
Who would you rather face?
Mark
Might be worth Colly giving himself a few overs either that or Borthwick.
BrianT
Ben Stokes likely to get wickets but he's leaking runs here. Expect Scott Borthwick to open after this over. Or am I thinking rubbish? 9 more to avoid follow on.
Bowling change
Rushworth returns for the 29th over - Sussex 72-3.
5:20pm
Mark
Yes, he seems to be an excellent player
Noz
Been impressed with Myburgh since he signed
2XI update
2XI: Johann Myburgh reaches fifty against Warks - great stuff!
5:16pm
BrianT
I switched the commentary off yesterday. Rather listen to Mick Martin! Nah, that's a lie.
Scotland game
There are discussions taking place - as soon as we have news then we'll post here and on the main news section of the website.
5:07pm
via SMS
Brandonia: Aye Brian, I think they were more imagining they'd only need to bat once...... Idiots. What's BBC Radio Newcarrrstle aswell btw??
Noz
Keep going Cal lad :)
IAIN6W
Re Scotland game,not been a dry up here for a while.Must be a slim chance of game going ahead. On a selfish note,would rather the game be played in Glasgow,would be right on my door step!!
via SMS
Brandonia: GET IN THERE CAL! I'm owa the moon, sick to death of them commentators gushing over Wells.
bobstersafc
well done cal
Wicket!
Thorp bowls Wells! Sussex 59-3!
5:05pm
via SMS
Excellent from Thorpy,
bobstersafc
wells bowled
BrianT
Unless we ask them to follow on!
via SMS
Brandonia: Comms are counting their chickens a bit. On about Monty spinning it at us on Day 4! I'd be more worried about Scotty bowling at them on Day 4!!
2XI update
2XI: Pringle is dismissed and Durham are 140-4
4:57pm
Noz
Nice one Cal - lets get another
Mark
Colly's plan seems to be working-run rate around 2 an over so Sussex are going nowhere fast.
via SMS
Brandonia: Gerrin there Cal!
Wicket!
Gatting is out lbw to Thorp for 11! Sussex 42-2 after 20 overs
4:49pm
BrianT
He's stating the obvious there old pal, and playing mind games.
auldtimer
The Sussex coach reckons Durham have had the worst of the batting conditions and expects the pitch to get better today and tomorrow, that's the problem with losing the toss.
Latest
Sussex 32-1 after 17 overs...Ben Stokes comes on for the 18th over.
4:38pm
BrianT
Now there is a bore.
Stan Drop
Trottski ct behind for 71.
BrianT
Maybe they too are finding the conditions difficult.
keenasmustard
Sussex are trying to bore us out of the game.
Stan Drop
Rushy getting tired. Time for a change.
tomb
Probably need to bowl them out for around 150-180 to have time to win this.
BrianT
Wells played a match winning innings to win it for them. I just said it was boring. Compton got a double hundred. Lot of use it did them.
marchy22
We need wickets
tomb
He gota double 100 did her or was that Compton for Somerset? He got a least 150, first home match of the season
BrianT
Wells played a very patient innings (boring) last year at the EIS. Can't remember Gatting, don't think he was in long enough. Nowt like his uncle though.

Mark
Don't know about tomorrow but according to Tim Wellock the forecast for Saturday is good.
tomb
Forecast for next two days?(weather)
Stan Drop
At current scoring rate it will take them 163 overs to catch up our 1st innings score. Let's have some wickets to put themout of their misery!

keenasmustard
I thought we had already batted? Sorry, couldn't resist that joke.
Rain....
We're experiencing a bit of a shower here...
3:56pm
chrissafc
rushy deserves his game, took his chance very well
Tea
In the middle of tea at the moment - Sussex 13-1 after 9 overs.
3:52pm
keenasmustard
Did they take tea during the innings break?
aapierre
now rushy is at it trueman would be having a fit
keenasmustard
Yeah drop him. He's shedding runs.
aapierre
bloody heck thorpe expensive or what
via SMS
How does Rushy get a game, he's not the captains cousin anymore?
BrianT
Ta.
Update
Callum Thorp is the other bowler, and Rushworth continues
3:37pm
BrianT
Tight bowling that Colly asked for. Who's at the other end?

keenasmustard
Nice start.
tomb
Lancs avoid follow on, wicket already?
via SMS
Get in rushy
aapierre
passed what ?
tomb
I take it the rain has passed?
tomb
Think people are getting carried away with Jennings here, he's had a good run but not expecting him to feature for a while yet. Myburgh for Muchall
via SMS
Muchall, Jennings isn't eligible to play in the CC.
dalesgirl
Muchall
keenasmustard
Who would you have for the next CC game - Muchall or Jennings?
tomb
Cook reckons Jennings is a good prospect but a fair way off from being ready for the first team. (from the members forum) (Cue his selection for the Middlesex game)
BrianT
Singh has 13 more. Is he a prospect?
chrissafc
got high hopes for this lad, seems an excellent prospect
chrissafc
jennings scoring runs again
2XI
2XI: Durham 69-0 with Singh 41* and Jennings 28*

Durham 230 all out
The last man is dismissed and Durham post a first innings total of 230.
2:58pm
chrissafc
well done scotty
keenasmustard
Vital partnership that one.
via SMS
Brandonia: Excellent work Scotty. Hopefully this will be demoralising the hosts.
BrianT
Was just typing in well done and then he's out. Still well done. We'll get 249 now.

Great effort that
Durham nine down
Durham 230-9 after Borthwick is out lbw to Nash for 50. Rushworth joins Claydon (15*)

50 for Scotty.
Four!
Four...thanks to a mis-field in the slips..and that ended up right at my feet! Durham 229-8
2:51pm
keenasmustard
50 partnership. Wonder if the pitch is getting easier to bat on.
tomb
Lancs might well be following on
Partnership 50
Fifty partnership for Borthwick and Claydon...Durham 225-8
2:50pm
Stan Drop
Looking at BBC Weather it could be showers all afternoon tomorrow and most of Saturday morning, so a result looks unlikely. Dig in lads for that second bonus point.
Response to keenasmustard
It was a mis-field and think it went over
2:49pm
keenasmustard
Has Borthwick just hit a six? It's confusing on Cricinfo.
chrissafc
Worcestershire 291; Lancashire 118/8

Borthwicks best score this season?
Update
Durham 221-8 with Borthwick 43* and Claydon 13*
2:47pm
chrissafc
good effort by some here
Mark
I agree Brian, when we lost the toss I'd have taken 200 so anything more is a bonus. That's assuming conditions don't improve when Sussex bat.
marchy22
How's the seconds going
BrianT
Very pleased with the score so far. May be a turning point if it's as difficult as we are being told by radio etc.
al666
If you could put news of the scotland game on the website then that'll help
Response to chrissafc
We will certainyl post something on the website. I do think that it is the putting up of the stands that is causing the problem. I reckon they may wait and see what the weather brings in the next week or so to see if they can salvage anything. But, we will check.
2:40pm
via SMS
Brandonia: Tell you what we won't get though - 250.
chrissafc
Yvette could you let us know when you hear back from the ecb about the scotland game?
via SMS
Brandonia: Good old reverse psychology works again. I'm claiming that as a victory for Brandonia.
stemc
Decent partnership to get us to 200..
Update
Durham 200-8 with Borthwick 27* and Claydon 8*.

Lets see what Sussex get before we can judge how well/badly we are doing in this game. One thing is certain though - if we look like winning it will rain, and will stay dry if we are about to lose.
tomb
We might get 200 Brandonia
BrianT
Don't think Sussex will get 200. Durham seem to have grafted hard but what was Benks doing getting out like that? That's what pressure does.
marchy22
Worcs looking good at the minute. We need to pull a win from the bag
via SMS
Brandonia: Another game without batting bonus points. This is looking grim.
tomb
Hard to tell what a competitive score might be
BrianT
As long as he's not watching the test!
marchy22
Not going well for us here.
Four!
Four to Claydon first ball!
2:17pm

Worcester doing well, Lancs 5 down and still a long way behind.

Not much action on here today. Is everyone watching the golf?
chrissafc
plenty time to get the ground sorted as well
chrissafc
still plenty to do up in edinburgh though. just hope the cricket is on.

yeah I'll be gutted if its off. Have to go to the fringe instead . . . .
Wicket...
Benkenstein is caught off Magoffin for 43. Durham 170-7 as Callum Thorp joins Borthwick (11*)
2:00pm
chrissafc
fingers crossed.
aapierre
The durham game may survive because the Eng game was called off mainly for lack of being able to put up the temp stands. Scot v Durham may not need it
chrissafc
cheers, a few of us have booked rail tickets and also hotels. i know the travel club have also booked up for this game.
Response to chrissafc
We are lookng into it but we await instruction from ECB.

Hi all. does anyone know what is happening with the scotland v durham game in edinburgh on the 5th? I've bought train tickets already but it sounds like the venue will be unplayable.
stemc
Yep, anywhere near 250 might not be a bad 1st innings score..
dalesgirl
Afternoon all
Noz
Let's hope we can add a few more runs this afternoon and then knock a few over before the close.
stemc
Aye considering previous sessions. Pity the colonel couldn't have seen it through to lunch, he'd dug in well.

12:04pm
BrianT
I was trying to make the point yesterday that even Notts were struggling to score and keep wickets in hand. Unfortunately this was taken to assume I was comparing our form with their's. Nice to see Harmy taking wickets again. Is there a way back for him?
tomb
Rain at Notts and Lancs, just glad we're out playing at the moment
BrianT
Are you there Marchy? Does it look easy to you?
Response to marchy22
It's pretty difficult out there - they've got to play carefully, the ground is still very, very wet. It's pretty muddy on the way round the ground too...almost fallen over myself!
11:55am
marchy22
20 runs in 50 mins. Painful going this

Colly seems to escape criticism on here but he has struggled as much as anybody, one 50 this season.
