Durham vs Sussex

[Pevenseagull]

how about 100/2

dodgy wicket my arse, we're just too f***ing good

 

[Trigger]

Declare now, bowl them out for 20 and knock it off by the end of the day.

 

[Trigger]

Bowlers seem to be as RUBBISH as the batsmen today for Durham...

Extras (0b 2lb 0w 12nb)

 

[Lord Bracknell]

111/2

 

[DannyBhoy]

WE WANT OUR TITLE BACK

WE WANT OUR TITLE BACK

 

[Pevenseagull]

we lead

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Putting Breese on to bowl doesn't seem to have worked for Durham.

11 off his first over.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

119/2 at stumps

 

[The Oldman]

As brilliant as the two from Pakistan are never under estimate the contribution that Murray Goodwin has made to Sussex. What a magnificent signing he has been. Today 38 from 30.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

There is no I in team, just Rana and Mushy.

Fantastic days play. We should look to declare on about 220 max if we want to go for the win, or get some batting points. Dodgy weather. Good luck Grizzly.

but there in GENIUS Rana and Mushy

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Come On Sussex, a very good 1st day.

 

[dougdeep]

We must get some silverware this season.

 

[Trigger]

We must get some silverware this season.

Some?...

I'll have you know all FOUR major pieces of silverware will be in the Sussex CCC cabinet come the end of the season.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Top Ten County Championship bowlers (wickets taken so far this season):-

Naved-ul-Hasan 24
Mushtaq Ahmed 22
Z Khan 19
P S Jones 18
G Onions 17
H H Streak 17
A R Caddick 16
J T A Bruce 15
C E W Silverwood 15
J Lewis 15

Not bad, eh?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I don't think that includes the current matches, Lord B. I have a feeling they were both on 20ish already.


Edited:

Current stats

Mushy 4.5 matches - 27 @ 18.5
Naved 3.5 matches - 28 @ 14.6

We have three batsman in the top 20 and three bowlers in the top 20 CC1 averages - that's not a bad achievement: shows that we're not entirely a two-man side.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Guess the question is with the weather to go for the max bonus and risk a down pour or get a decent amount in front and go for the win

 

[JJ McClure]

Still worried about how we'll do once Rana joins up with the pakistani squad, but let's revel in our good start for just a moment.

yes, Robbo says in the Argus this morning that even Brett Lee or Glen McGrath wouldn't be adequate replacements for Rana...!

also from the Argus:

"Durham are bamboozled by Sussex's Pakistani pair.

PUTTING a world-class operator like Mushtaq Ahmed up against batsmen who have not encountered much quality legspin is a bit like letting a fox loose in the hen house."


revel away 80's Seagull, hope that key players stay fit and we get some dry weather later on in the season... if the homegrown seamers can do a job and keep it tight (as they did in this game) then the magician can get even more wickets at the other end...!

Come on Sussex!
