Result: Sussex draw with Durham
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleDurham’s game at home to Sussex ended in an inevitable draw, with all life seemingly sucked out of the occasion by a slow track and an Australian ball I feel is not best suited to County Championship cricket.
Sussex were on 322-6 and leading by 356 when the draw was agreed at 16:50 BST. By then Danial Ibrahim had faced 315 balls for his 121 not out. And while he will remember this game for a long time to come, I don't think many others will.
Durham take 13 points from the game and Sussex 14.
There are three more rounds of matches with this Kookaburra ball this year. Only one side has managed a win this week and that’s about the norm when it is used.
Why ask Championship players to use it, when 99% of them won't be in Australia this winter anyway? And while the Test side is in action at the same time? It's a head scratcher.
