[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2023 Season Edition

[timbha]

Unlikely to get a positive result on day four, expect a bore draw unless there is a sudden clatter of wickets.

I take it you haven’t been out there watching. Some really good cricket with two evenly matched teams and the game swinging both ways. It might end up a draw, but not a bore draw (with the whole match considered)

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 388/6, leading by 326, 88 overs remaining in the day.

Can't see Sussex giving Worcestershire a sniff...

 

[fly high]

Hope Alsop gets his century, be good if Carson gets one too. Have I just put the kibosh on it?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Putting the foot down?

 

[jakarta]

Harmsey on form: And Carson is caught behind....no he's not

403-6

 

[Pevenseagull]

Surpassed the opening partnership.

Good work

 

[Eeyore]

They'll declare once Alsop had his ton.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Concern about McAndrews' fitness amongst the commentators

 

[Titanic]

Tom Alsop 100* (225 balls, 10 fours)

Sussex 430-7 (107.1 overs), leading by 369

 

[CHAPPERS]

They'll declare once Alsop had his ton.

If McAndrew can't bowl I think we'll bat another 20 minutes

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 447-7 declared (108 overs), leading by 385

79 overs for Sussex to take 10 wickets or Worcs to score 386

 

[CHAPPERS]

Sussex 447-7 declared (108 overs), leading by 385

79 overs for Sussex to take 10 wickets or Worcs to score 386

ooh

 

[jakarta]

Alsop ton

447-7 declaration finally comes.

Just the 386 to win

 

[Eeyore]

Excellent run rate this morning. Lot of work for Shipley and Karvales.

 

[Titanic]

ooh

Surprisingly generous to our rivals for 2nd spot.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Surprisingly generous to our rivals for 2nd spot.

Wouldn'y be the first time we've lost from a position like this. Fabrace probably a bit more aggressive than other recent coaches!

 

[Eeyore]

Surprisingly generous to our rivals for 2nd spot.

4.8 per over. If we hand them that over 79 overs then Sussex deserve to lose.

 

[Gwylan]

Surprisingly generous to our rivals for 2nd spot.

It is with our opening bowler missing. I think with a man down, Alsop could have batted for a couple more overs

 

[Titanic]

Worcs 27-0 (5 overs, RR 5.4)

Required rate 4.85 from 74 overs.

McAndrew comes on to the field...

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

4.8 per over. If we hand them that over 79 overs then Sussex deserve to lose.

It's not that steep given how used to scoring quickly players are nowadays, particularly on a small ground.
