Somerset v Sussex - County Championship...

[Carrot Cruncher]

2/51

3/51

I've given the cricket threads a swerve for a while, as a certain poster's posts were giving me diabetes, but I'm confused.

Have we either, a) started giving bowling figures, b) gone Australian or c) started a new joke, loosely based on 'were loose' et al?

I always give the score in the Australian style, I prefer it that way. We're not supposed to do c) any more.

Monty - 6 overs, 2/1

CaM. I seem to remember that you were rather disparaging of Luke Wells. He hasn't done too badly thus far!

I was, and as I admitted at the time, unfairly so. He has proved me wrong beyond any shadow of a doubt and is becoming a fine player.

It is in honour of the death of William Bruce

No idea actually, just fancied a change.

Blimey 54/5!

I think Monty's been told Swann's not going to be fit for next wednesday's game

Great stuff. Thanks for clearing that up, chap! Carry on...

You could be right - he's 3 for 1 run off 7 overs at the moment.

Nice to see his practice sessions with Tendulkar is paying off...

Monty has been clubbed for a six. I fear we have cursed him.

 

[Gazwag]

Disappointing that No Balls in currently the top scorer on 16

 

[CHAPPERS]

So, those having a pop at our batting yesterday.....

I thought Flower was being a bit of a prat about that and that is not with my Sussex bias.

Quite. Joyce and Goodwin's knocks are looking excellent.

 

[CHAPPERS]

That whole thing about Panesar bowling to Sachin is bollocks. You'd jump at the chance to bowl against Sachin if you get it, if you didn't you may as well give up the game.

Monty has his...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Why isn't Rayner bowling the other end?

 

[SNOOBS]

some one call the fire brigade, monty is on FIRE!!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Don't know. Maybe mixing it up with pace and spin has worked well enough.

Monty is on his hat-trick, so it seems.
