They did comeback and got to 149-2 but as you say the game looks over
Sussex 37-1 chasing 233
Ninety odd for two at tea. Sussex's first innings collapse gives Glamorgan some hope, but they should win from here and, if they do, it will be down to yet more substandard batting by Glamorgan's top order - to have four of the top five get past forty, but none of them reach sixty is just not good enough.
Glammy should have set 280 for Sussex to win but this time a lower order collapse. Can't see a win from here.
Agreed, you take more risks and pay the price sometimes, draw no good to either.
To be fair though, the pitch is doing loads and the weather's been so inclement that the four TOBW mentioned , in my opinion, did pretty well to make the runs they did.
I was at the session before lunch yesterday when Rudolph got out and 2 or 3 Ingram boundaries apart, Sussex could have picked up 3 or 4 wkts.
The sun is shining bright now and Sussex should knock them off but the bowlers are still beating the bat. Never know.
Sussex need 104 to win with 6 wkts left
128-5, getting interesting.
Briggs has played and missed about 6 times with one decent scoring shot for his twenty :angry:
He is doing my head in. Sussex have had a lot of luck this afternoon.
Jammy Sussex need 22 with two wkts left
How many times did Michael Hogan beat the bat in that second innings. It happened time and again. We were too light though and needed another 30 odd runs. A good effort though and Van Der Gugten has had a good season.
At least we made a better effort, too late though
A bit of bad news, on of our better former coaches is in hospital

It was nice to see the fielders right up for it in the last session. We very nearly pulled it off and probably would have if Briggs nicked one of the half dozen or so he'd played at. That 50 odd stand with Brown was hard to bear.
Anyway it matters not in the great scheme of things, best wishes JD on a speedy recovery :thumbup:
Yep let's hope John Derrick makes a full recovery. Far too young to be having a stroke. I didn't appreciate what a good track record he had for us as coach.
Kiran Carlson. Wow. We do have some good young un's coming through.
Brilliant by someone I'd not heard of before today!
When I saw Northants were 140-1 at lunch I thought they'd be past 400 by now.
I can remember Hugh Morris saying before the start of the season that we had an excellent fifteen year old leg spinner coming through - I was concerned about our lack of quality spinners, but maybe it won't be a problem at all.
5 for 28 on debut, I too hadn't here'd of him,brilliant
104-8 another poor batting effort I'm afraid, but the authorities tend to take a dim view of pitches on which spinners take as many early wickets as they have in this game and so I wouldn't be surprised to see Northants docked points when the game finishes.
Yep when a rookie spinner has such a dramatic effect on day one then there has to be a big concern about the state of the pitch. Clearly Northants have to be questioned here. Sadly this is going to be another defeat.
Given Northants are 168/2 in their second innings it does not appear that there are too many demons to this pitch. Another rank bad day. Glad to see the back of the season.
It's just disappointing. Northants will now finish above us I reckon so it's a race to finish bottom with Derbyshire. We do have some good youngsters but they are going to be inconsistent which is fair enough. The more senior players are not leading by example though.
If you are going next week I hope the Sun shines and they play better cricket than this.
Glammy "chasing" 450 to win young Carlson didn't take any wickets in their second innings but he did run out Keough (sp) their newly turned wonder spin bowler,who opened the bowling for them in our second innings,0-0 so far.
Now a mediocre minor county side. Rudolph has underperformed and embarrassing to say the least. So different to the Tony Lewis years with the likes of Alan Jones, Majid Khan.
You can draw parallels with CCFC 1970's v now.
What are the management going to do as frankly nobody wants to watch the current rubbish. T20 v Yorks was so disappointing ☹️
The agony is almost over!
Beaten by 318 runs
Morris OUT !!!
I see Rudolph is not in the team for today's match with Gloucestershire - latest score 41-1 after being put into bat by Gloucs.
Fair enough, but I hope he gets a chance in our last couple of matches to show that he's a better player than his performances indicate this season - I know last season wasn't brilliant for him, but I don't think anyone saw what's happened with him this year coming.
It'll probably be short and sweet, but Donald is on 33 after facing eighteen balls, while Selman has got some welcome runs - he's seventy four off ninety balls and Glamorgan are 130-3 just before lunch.
Talk about the nervous nineties. Selman has been on 98 now 99 for about 25 minutes!! I'm nervous anyway!
