Hove: CC Div 1 - Sussex v Lancashire Apr 21-24th

[Paxton Dazo]

Just been out there, I left when it was 31-0, 25 minutes later, we've lost a wicket and scored 13 runs.

A massive crowd out there for a CC game. I'll pop back out there at around 2/3.

Joyce, Yards, Goodwin & Prior, have to take advantage of this pitch.

Elsewhere, Gloucestershire are 50-5 in the tinpot divison 2.

56/1 Now Yardy 17* Joyce 7*

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Will be interesting to see if Joyce can still do it.

What is Leesy whittering on about his press pass for ??

 

[Titanic]

and the lack of a Playfair Annual ??

 

[Titanic]

all very quaint!

 

[Titanic]

Phew... that's a relief... he's already bought his Wisden... but is muttering about it's RRP of £45... although he managed to get it for £25...a £20 saving, no less.

 

[Titanic]

He loves his bargain books... he's waxing lyrical about Jonathan Agnew's Cricket Year 2008... I'm loving it.

 

[Titanic]

Hardly a mention of the cricket... muttering about clocks being out of sync.. and now the fascinating observation that there is a Tom Smith in both teams... quality radio... summer has arrived!

 

[8ace]

Is the lunch pass sorted? Was AFK for a bit.

 

[Titanic]

65-1 Yardy 17* Joyce 16* ... a slow patient innings

he was concerned about it earlier... he's hoping to get a pass for the Jim Parks bar

Phew!

 

[Titanic]

Perplexed! They've gone to lunch at 12:58 and 11 seconds... whatever next ??

 

[Titanic]

Sussex at lunch... 69-1 (29 overs) Yardy 17* Joyce (on Championship debut) 20*

 

[Titanic]

Bye bye for now, John.

Oh shame... he's remembered to turn the mic off

 

[Austrian Gull]

A massive crowd out there for a CC game. I'll pop back out there at around 2/3.

Is 2/3 a prediction of Lancashire's reply?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Why no Rayner? Odd that Smith has been given his County Championship debut, although he is a quality fielder and can bat a bit.

Still think Luke Wright is lucky to be playing. Also is Hoppo injured, last year he kicked on a lot, when playing at 6.

Glad Aga is playing, has a bit of pace and can swing it both ways. One issue last season was that he could go for a few.

 

[Gwylan]

Rayner must be ill or injured; I can't believe Smith is ahead of him on merit.

We have nine bowlers in that team: I think that's a bit overkill

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I've never been interested in cricket, but considering I can see a floodlight when I look out my window, perhaps I should give it a go. Can anyone tell me how much it is to see the match? When it starts in the day and anything I might need to know?
