Durham v Sussex, FPT.mon May 4th

[Mackenzie]

Can somebody explain why not one bowler used their full allocation? Is this a new tactic by Yardy to confuse the opposition or are our starting bowlers just really bad?

Doesn't really matter, it just means we have options at the end of an innings....although it is sometimes good to bowl RMJ straight through if he keeping things tight, as he seems to stiffen up after a spell sometimes.

Please don't post things like that when it is still 2 overs before D/L applies - be just our luck to be rained off after 19.5 overs......

The Durham " Blackwell", is it Ian Blackwell, late of Somerset ?

EDWARD JOYCE ,
HE MADE HIS CHOICE,
TO PLAY AT HOVE,
SO DOWN HE DROVE.

HE HAD A CHAT,
WITH ROBBO AND JIM,
SAID "I LIKE WHAT I SEE",
"SO COUNT ME IN."

SO NOW HE BATS AT No3,
FOR GOOD OLD SUSSEX BY THE SEA

GOOD OLD SUSSEX BY THE SEA
GOOD OLD SUSSEX BY THE SEA......

Not good enough, fancy losing two wickets, shameful.
