[Cricket] *** Leicestershire v Sussex - penultimate CC game ***

[Moshe Gariani]

Leicestershire 492-4 dec v Sussex 359 & 41-0

No major alarms for Sussex at the start of their second innings.

Ali Orr is 24 not out and Tom Haines, the Championship's leading scorer in 2021, is on 15.

They trail by 92 but this one looks like a nailed-on draw at this stage.

As others have said it builds character. To think I've taken time off work for the final game.. hopefully not another thrashing

77-2

Lucky that there isn't much time left and the draw is nailed on.

We might be able to hang on for the final hour or so.

Said who? 122/7 (8) with 9 overs to go. Pathetic

I have been watching Sussex for around 50 years and am well aware that this young "batting line-up" is below decent 2nd XI standard once Brown and Haines are out. A collapse was always very possible.

All over. Could not even bat out two sessions.

 

[Simster]

We are just so so shit.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

We are just so so shit.

Is a reasonable observation.

I guess where opinions differ is whether the "Seven Year Plan" is a legitimate strategy. If the alternative is bankruptcy then I guess it is.

Who knows if a different leadership team could make much better use of the limited resources in the short-term and still achieve player development goals?

Whoever tries to do it certainly has their work cut out.

Stuffed, as is County Cricket...

But that’s not what you said. No exclamation mark, smiley or winking emoji, just :

Pathetic.

We'd be beaten by a competent club team with this line up. **** off Rob Andrew.
