LVCC D1 - Durham v Sussex

Status
Not open for further replies.
Bbc headline 'Sussex edged out in close encounter'

Only 185 runs there too
 

Sussex are going to have a say in where the title goes.

Play Yorkshire next week and us again in the final match of the season. Both at their gaffe.

not sure if seb but among some sensible posters on "the white rose county" forum there are some right knackers( bit like here I suppose)

An example of some anti Durham bollox :lol:

If we prepared wickets like those cheating ****s Durham, we would get pelters. It's not so much if we don't win it I mind - it's losing to them. Jumped up little ****s! The Rafiq thing was the last straw - trying to cheat their way into the finals day when other teams had a case. I didn't really mind them winning things to begin with, it is the total dellusions of grandeur they have developed I object to. How that shed of a ground is an Ashes venue I do not know - insult to Australian cricket heritage. 'How was the SCG and Melbourne lads', 'Great' we say, 'looking forward to Chester-Le-Street?'. I would rather Lancashire won the CC, T20 and One Day competition than Durham won anything!

So, come on Sussex - dig deep and do unto their bonfire as our victorious Test team did unto the Oval!

Small club mentality. They've become the Liverpool of the county circuit in the way they've done nothing note worthy for decades but still go on like they're a big club. Winning the CC would be one thing but beating those deluded turd stains would be another.
 
lol, they won the title quite recently tbf

If they had anything like our bowlers they'd be pissing up[DOUBLEPOST=1378394433][/DOUBLEPOST]Mitch staying until end of season now by the sounds of it

Yeah, according to the BBC I think it was in June this year that they won it.

:lol:

They won it a month after Surrey's title in May.[DOUBLEPOST=1378400345][/DOUBLEPOST]This might be worthy of a thread of its own, perhaps titled 'England's contempt for County Cricket', but for now I'm bringing it up here -

Tim Wellock mentions Geoff Cook's point about players missing games for their counties due to pointless England games or due to 'rest time' in the case of Matt Prior. Of course we've benefitted from it, more than been hindered by it, especially here and at Scarborough, but the point still remains and is still worth discussing. His closing comment rang true too, in that I can't ever remember Harmy missing that many games to international commitments over the course of a summer.

Brilliant. Batters doing the job too. Tough to pick the team for the next game, but must give lots of confidence.

Yes but we never saw Colly for 4 or 5 seasons, it was never an issue because during that time we won 2 championships. As far as iam concerned they should continue with team England and young county players should be fighting to get into the Lions side who should also play during our domestic season. If Sussex had have turned up with a full strength side it would have been a match of higher quality but they would not have been a bigger crowd to watch the match. What should happen is counties who provide players for England and the lions who are not on central contracts should be awarded a far bigger finachial reward than what they currently are.
 
Still think we should've declared

If Sussex had shown any application they might have got a draw
 
Good job we won yesterday.

Would have been no chance of any play today. ODI in Leeds is a probable write off too.
 
Looking forward to the next game, shivs looking comfortable at the crease. Somerset have turned to keys wetter now to find a wicket. Will we still be missing stokes?

If one more wicket had fallen they'd have played an extra half hour. Crazy.

So they change the rules to say if 8 wickets are down you can delay lunch, but then when 7 are down you could say only one more is needed so why not do it at 7, and so on.

I do agree that you should stay on if only a handful of runs are needed, for symmetry.
