Why are there so many batsmen who just seem to always score against Sussex. It is so annoying
Stoneman must be one of the most annoying.
Durham already have a bit of a score and we all know that the Durham pitch will seam.
The way this game is going it might be one of the last for Lewis, even though he was not taking wickets he was not gong at many but today he has. From what I could hear on commentary he was not getting much rub of the green .......
and he just got a wicket - well done Lewis, Muchall c RHB. In comes Mustard, don't want him to hang around long.
Now get the annoying Stoneman, I wonder what his First Class Average would be if you took out the scores against Sussex

Well and truly stoned by Tredders. A superb catch. And Lewis gets his second wicket. The ball is
spicing all over the place. Already, concerned about the impending Sussex batting.
edit: a good after lunch session. Now 222-7 off 64 overs. A case of finishing them off and not
allowing a tail-end fight back. The weather appears to be clearing, so the ball isn't spicing around
so much now. Still, one sees this as a typical Riverside low scoring match.

I said from the outset Jon Lewis would be the man. You don't let the grass grow under your feet, do you, lawnmower? |

Well done Hatchett and Lewis. Why has Machan been dropped? While we pay for going in a batsman light? Did we really need Piolet?

I said from the outset that Hatchett would be the man, albeit quite an expensive man. Talking of expensive, our holding bowler's gone for five an over too - Beer could have done that.
Think they've got too many here. 200 odd for seven to this ain't a good finish. It's nothing new to us though. Fingers crossed for the batting but we're inexplicably light and we have a tail as long as a great white. I'm gonna go on record and state that I'm a tiny bit concerned.

As one feared, the tail-end put on 135 runs. So, no surprise there then.

It's not so much a tail as an abdication of responsibility. Why is the bar set so high for the likes of Machan and Beer, then readjusted to the level of an limbo-dancing ant for newcomers? You referring to anyone in paticular? |

Zaidi, Lewis, Piolet .... Robinson has to back, or be seen to back, his own signings. I wouldn't expect anything less from him. |

Evens stevens on day 1. Well done to Hatchet for his fifer. Disappointing that the Durham
tail-end scored 135 runs. Was this down to the Sussex bowling or did batting conditions
improve?
Sussex have to buckle down tomorrow and score big. We need 100 from Nash. He's due.

Fluffy reckons it's evens stevens, whatever that means? Pretty sure it's even stevens and I'm pretty sure it ain't even stevens. We'll do well to get 250. Well done the Axe-Man, where you been? Oh yeah, bowling on a road geting nought for a million. What a difference a track makes. Lewis came back well then - he was getting all sorts of stick and it wasn't even me. I think runs for Wells tomorrow. Good luck chaps, start as you mean to go on. |

Think it was a little of both. The sun came out so batting conditions did improve but the Durham tail can bat. Their Aussie all rounder Hastings batted at 9, Coughlin batting at 10 scored 80 odd on his debut against Lancs last week and Rushworth scored 40 odd against Nottingham earlier in the season. Rushworth was particularly severe on Mags, scoring 20 or so off his 2 overs with the second new ball, including three 4s and a six. Think Mags was knackered by then, having already bowled 22 overs. It was a good days cricket with 357 runs being scored and 10 wickets taken. Shame work commitments will stop me being able to get to the next three days. |

Well at least it sounds like a thoroughly entertaining day's cricket.
Wish I had been there - instead I've just got in from one of the dourest day's play I've ever seen at Canterbury where the run rate never got above 2.5 all day and we had to endure Bell-Drummond taking 92 overs to make 101 in what appeared to be decent conditions for batting. It was a great advert for staying home over the next two weeks and watching the World Cup and Wimbledon. Well done, Kent.
Nobody I spoke to today expects Tredwell to be at Canterbury next season - although some felt he was more likely to end up at the Oval than at Hove on a permanent basis. In the other direction, the goss-goss-gossipers on the Kent messageboard are chat-chat-chattering about swooping for Luke Wells by promising him the T20 place which Sussex doesn't think he is worth. But can you imagine Wells and Bell-Drummond opening together in the LVCC - you'd be lucky to have 100 on the board by tea!
Back to Durham...do we know what's going on with Machan - dropped or crocked? Because Tredwell is way too high at seven; the bloke only passed 30 three times in the whole of last season.
A five-for will do wonders for Hatchett's confidence, despite the runs he leaked, and Lewis has again shown his worth in helpful conditions - although it sounds as if they may have both owed their wkts to the heroics of Magoffin 'bowling dry' at the other end and not getting his just rewards in the wkts column. But that's great, too, because it means we 'bowled as a unit', as they say in coach-speak.
