LVCC D1 - Durham v Sussex

[brandon]

Leave 10 overs or so tonight at them? Then 96 tomorrow to bowl them out. Now we're past 300 we should start hoying the bat at a few I reckon.

Looks certain to me we'll aim to put them in in the morning dew

Think you are right. Like I said earlier still 12 overs to go tonight and if we get 3 per over we will be nigh on 350 ahead by the close. Got to back ourselves to win from here even with only one day to do it rather than two.

Far too early to say Thursday would be rained off like

 

[brandon]

Is there 11 overs left tonight? Meaning our innings would get to 71 overs at Close?

Doesn't look like well declare today. Maybe do it overnight.

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Colly gone for 45. 6 down.

 

[Marko]

9.5 overs, 4 wickets remain. Could still be all out

 

[brandon]

Colly gone. Might aswell give it a biff now.

If we had Benks fit all season & had an overseas pro (rather than suffering the financial consequences of some shocking judgement / decisions over the last few years) We would have wraped this league up ages ago & no doubt progressed further in the other 2 formats imho

 

[brandon]

Bit frustrating this. Not knowing what the players are thinking. I'd hope once Mustard gets to 50 he'll start smashing it, but at the moment we're looking likely to be batting for stumps.

 

[Marko]

50s up

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Well done to Mustard 50 no

 

[percy]

Shouldn't we have them in by now. Showers forecast for tomorrow and Friday rain all day. Heading for a draw if not.

 

[chopsfc007]

cant play for the weather if they declared now and there was no bad weather and they got the runs we would look stupid

 

[brandon]

Arshad off the mark with a SIX!

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Arshad has just hit a six, so perhaps the thrash is on?

 

[Safc_Luke]

323 is 100 too many for Sussex imo. 96 overs tomorrow should be more than enough.

Would lose two overs of we did that now. Better to have a swing I reckon.

 

[Sandboy]

just bat until stumps, heavy dew means more slugs tonight and wickets in the morning

 

[brandon]

2 overs left tonight and the way we've batted all this session suggests we'll still be batting in the morning. Although 4 an over of both these will see the lead up to 350 which might be a good time to call it in.

To be fair to Colly, there is no real need to make a decision until the morning. The forecast may change which may affect the decision.[DOUBLEPOST=1378313108][/DOUBLEPOST]345 lead at the close. Another good day for us all things considered.
