Words from Stanley McAlindon
Sussex were 100-1 for one at one point, but the boys stuck at the task and made it close, last time out, I’m so glad we were able to take it to the last over and we showed what Durham are about. Myself and George Drissell knew we had to add runs with the bat and we managed to take it to the end of our 50 overs, and 228 we got gave us a chance. We showed what we’re about because we dragged it back even after dropping a catch early on. It’s annoying that we could not get over the line in another close game, but we’ll take it into the next game with experience and hopefully get the win.
