LVCC - Durham v Sussex

[tynevalleyblackcat]

I would stick with putting them in before tea for 15 mins, so just grab as many as we can get in the next 25 mins or so then declare.

 

[mackembhoy]

Colly gone lead of 432

 

[Dougal]

Muchall now coming in - thought we may have Hastings in to go for a bit of pinch hitting .... Lead of 433

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Just swing the bat get to a 450 lead and put them in. We almost certainly already have more than enough runs to win.

 

[dangermows]

Come on Colly, keep us out there til 500 please

 

[Dougal]

No sign of swinging the bat I'm afraid. Moisture in the air too. Suspect we're just going to bat out this session and go for putting them in after tea.

That is good news, rather than bad

 

[Dougal]

450 lead. Richardson on 23 and Muchall 12

 

[mackembhoy]

f***ing hell a bird alert what is this shite

sussex commentator is a boring bugger like

Lead of 456 so dunno why were batting still

HAWAY COLLY 463 lead man

WTF are we doing man

 

[Dougal]

Ten minutes to tea. Richardson playing some positive shots. 350 up with a 490 lead. Blue skies on the horizon. We'll be looking at a declaration at tea and a lead of 500. 57 partnership too

Richardson goes for 37. Mustard coming out with just over an over to go - no they're off for bad light and early to ea

 

[mackembhoy]

Well that was a pointless 20 minutes. Could have had overs at them

 

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Have we declared or not?

 

[mackembhoy]

Have we declared or not?

No

gone off for bad light/early tea so we will during tea but not yet.

 

[Dougal]

Just announced the declaration and play to resume at 4:08

I reckon we should have had 20 mins at them before tea c'est la vie

 

[essex boy]

Have a hunch Sussex will nearly be all out by tonight

 

[dangermows]

Have a hunch Sussex will nearly be all out by tonight

Well done EB, that's a guaranteed 100 opening partnership then......

 

[Mackem DJ]

Well that was a pointless 20 minutes. Could have had overs at them

As i said, this board is always calling for us to hit out prior to a declaration - it never happens. Not sure if Collingwood is unadventurous or just confident in the bowlers ability to get the job done regardless or what it is....

Just sounded like we were ambling along with no real purpose anyway it doesn't really matter.

Yorkshire win by an innings and 8 runs after posting 422

Other two games both delayed by rain, look like certain victories for notts and lancs
