I've followed Sussex very closely for the past couple of seasons but i'm certainly no expert on the full squad. Who's likely to come in for Rana in the last game? I assume it would normally have been Kirtley but obviously he's at the T20's and with no Luke Wright either i assume the pace attack is looking mighty thin?

 

[Beach Hut]

Good recovery so far - well done boys

Chris Liddle I expect. He played in the first game of the season and has been taking a few wickets for the seconds.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

the mighty CHRIS LIDDLE.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Disgraceful performance by a team that is clearly on the slide. We may as well not bother turning up for the last game.

The tail seems to be putting up a fight.

Durham 315/8 @ tea. Lead of 24

 

[Skint Gull]

So assuming we can knock over the last 2 within the next half hour or so after tea, what do you reckon we'll be happy defending? From the looks of the wicket takers today I reckon if we can set them 200 they'd do well to defend it on day 3/4 but if we can score 300 and set them around 250 i'd feel a bit more confident! Anyone think we need any more than that?

RMJ takes the 9th. Commentator was the most laid back commentator when a wicket has fallen i've ever heard!

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

316 ao.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

All out for 316 - a lead of 25

That is better than i was expecting after this mornings session

Miles better than expected now put some runs on the board and scuff the wicket up for the spinners

Bugger - Lets not let this afternoons hard work go to waste boys!

If Rana's out injured aren't we down to 10 batsmen?
