Hampshire vs Sussex - The Official Thread

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Any lead over 250 should be hard to chase on this wicket.

And Hampshire wonder why they have been overlooked for Test Cricket.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'd say Sussex hold a slender advantage. We're lucky their batting is a bit light without Pietersen.

I'd say anything over 250 and we're in the box seat.

tomorrow myself and fragmented badger will be at the bowl to enjoy a fine day of play

 

[Gwylan]

Grizzly's gone!!

149-6 now. Going to struggle to set 250

 

[CHAPPERS]

Not a brilliant start.

 

[Uncle Buck]

250 lead should be enough on this pitch.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I've seen a couple of reports that suggest the pitch might be getting easier to play on but I can't believe that's true.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I think the pitch will be drying slightly, as it was very damp. Come on Sussex!!

 

[Gwylan]

I've seen a couple of reports that suggest the pitch might be getting easier to play on but I can't believe that's true.

I reckon that might be the case - although 'easier' might be a relative term. I'd really like to see us get a bit more than 250 but I'm not sure we will.

177-6 now - they're having a bit of a slog by the looks of it.

 

[CHAPPERS]

250+ lead would be decent but I'd like to see us add a few more and with Tucker, Wright, Rana and Mushy to come I don't see why we can't get up there.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hmmmmm, I wonder if this is a case of slogging or the pitch playing better?

 

[larus]

Makes yuo wonder. In which case we might need nearer 300.

 

[larus]

50 partnership between RMJ * Wright.

 

[Parson Henry]

Makes yuo wonder. In which case we might need nearer 300.

wasn't there a similar game last season when in the the last innings the pitch eased up and we lost?

 

[Trigger]

204/6

Sussex are leading by 247 runs

RMJ 50*

 

[CHAPPERS]

LJ Wright c sub b Ervine 20 (41m 28b 3x4 0x6) SR: 71.43

Lead of 252 with 3 wickets remaining.

What's happened her?

SD Udal 3.2 1 4 0 1.20 (0nb, 0w)
SM Ervine 9.3 3 42 2 4.42 (0nb, 0w)

Ervine seems to have only bowled a half over. Here's hoping he's injured himself...

Says 9.4 now on Ananova sport. Seems to be taking another ball every so often. Is that allowed?

Seems to be Tremlett that's injured.

RSCM-J having a grand knock. Lead heading towards 300, should be winnable from there.
