Sussex CCC v Warwickshire CCC (Official Thread)

[CHAPPERS]

It's pretty dark out and may even be raining over there.

 

[Trigger]

has rain / bad light stopped play?

Not no more, 65/1.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

think they must have stopped for a while...

bad news if we can't make a breakthrough soon in these conditions

 

[Barrel of Fun]

114/2. Important wicket taken by Luke Wright.

Come on Sussex!!

 

[Trigger]

121/2

Lunch is being taken.

121/2

Lunch is being taken.

What bastard nicked it?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Needed that, a bit of afternoon magic from Mushy (once his hands warm up) and we're right back in it. All the papers seem to suggest it's a results pitch.

 

[Knightsworld]

159/2

Come on Sussex, we need some wickets

 

[CHAPPERS]

180/3

RMJ finally removes Knight.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

180/3

Knight c Adams b Martin-Jenkins 73

Mushy getting into his stride hopefully... but with Streak at 9 (Test Match ton...) and another century maker at 10 O) we're going to need a bit of his magic...

AGR Loudon 20 63 2 0 31.75 not out


oh dear. not looking too good now.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

oh dear. not looking too good now.

looking decidedly grim... hopefully its actually a flat pitch and our batsmen will be able to do it back to them and secure a solid draw

edit: and Yards comes into the attack... maybe a reply count on Nelson will do the trick - can we leave it there for a while?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hmmm 246/3 at tea.

It's looking to be a tough ask over the next 7 sessions of cricket. Draw looking like the best we can ask for. They've still got Troughton, Powell, Brown, Streak AND Carter to come. They've got to be looking at 500 from here.

 

[Trigger]

Raindance tomorrow boys...

 

[Pavilionaire]

Warwickshire have a pretty handy all-round team. Not only can Troughton and Bell bat but they were both pretty handy as Dr. Who as well.

are we bowling like Daleks?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Since we're combining cricket and sci-fi I wish Sussex had a bit more Star Trek about them, a few Klingons in the slips wouldn't go amiss...
