This is the same pitch as yesterday where we squeezed a 2 run win against a poor Surrey without Ramps and Nel.

Quite what the par is today is of course uncertain,but wickets will be hard to get.

yesterday after 14 we were 81-2.Today we are 67-0

with a bit of luck, iut may be taking some spin by the end of the day, as we have a few spinners at our disposal.

And the forecast for our clash with them at Hove isn't great...  washout and a point each?

I hope Luke takes a liking to their bowling...  not now of course, but somewhat later.

I'm concerned about Luke versus Ian Blackwell...  I can see him struggling against spin.

Re: Sussex vs Durham, May 11th FPT, Hove

well gatts out - but isnt it great to see a young lad appear from nowhere and make useful runs - and he will get better

Incidentally TC - at the EGM of the messageboard committee yesterday(held in the marquee at the SE corner after a few beers) it was formally debated and motion was carried that goatmouth doesnt exist!!

There can be no doubt there are facts.What they are ,continue to be a mystery to some.The point being well made by my Scottish friend is that your opinion will not change the reality at all.

In vernacular you can vote what you want and pass lots of resolutions "but it wont change the price of tea in China"

The FACt that you were all singing suggests a lack of gravitas in the debate

Re: Sussex vs Durham, May 11th FPT, Hove

Good afternoon everyone. Just got in from college to see that young Gatting has done very well again and Gloucester are battering Yorkshire. big_smile

So has "goatmouth" been formally repudiated on here now . . . can we say what we like, or do we still have to be "careful"? :?

#0 over comparisons with yesterday

Sussex 157-3
Surrey 159-1

Today 163-2

This is not a goatmouth I hope

In my view there is nothing you can say on a messageboard that will make the slightest difference to the outcome of a cricket match!

Agreed... it's more about making yourself look like a plank by poorly timed sentiment or forecasting.
