Charlie Tear’s second List A hundred for Sussex was a sizeable crumb of comfort as they headed back to Hove on Friday night after a second Metro Bank One-Day Cup defeat in three days.
The 21-year-old, who scored 159 against Northants in last year’s competition, made 118 off 112 balls against Durham at the Riverside, but the Sharks came up well short in their pursuit of the home side’s mammoth 352 for 5.
Tear and George Thomas got the chase off to a strong start with 116 in 13.1 overs, of which Thomas contributed 48.
Daniel Ibrahim then made 45 in a third-wicket stand of 92 in 17 but those three contributions apart Sussex’s batting didn’t amount to a great deal with the next best score skipper Jack Carson’s 16. When Tear was out in the 38th over, having struck 14 fours and a six, Sussex needed 120 and that was too much. Instead, the last six wickets fell in 16 balls, albeit for the addition of another 40 runs.
