*** Sussex CCC vs Somerset CCC County Championship 22-25 May at Horsham ***

[Simster]

27/1. Trescothick gives Sussex a CHANCE of a draw.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

We'll be back to the accusations of Sussex being a "one-man-team" that always used to be made during the trophy-laden Hoppo era...

 

[Beach Hut]

FFS what are we doing this for, madness I tel you all, madness

Elvis Peterson and Sharia Pupil have steadied the ship, looks like a long morning for the Sussex bowlers

32 /2

32/2

It appears RHB caught Peterson, probably by accident.

32 /2

With Sussex fielding, my trick is always to take the score, take off two wickets and then consider how that looks: 32-0 is a very decent start.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I can't believe that ball flew straight into RHB's trouser pocket as he was diving completely the wrong way!

They way Somerset are going they are saving themselves for a world record last wicket partnership and then skittle us out on 4th afternoon!!

Haha.

32/3.

But as tinycowboy says, 32/1 would suggest this one is still very much in the balance.

 

[Simster]

There we go; in walks Barrow and CREAMS one to the boundary. Four more.

Somerset bossing proceedings.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Both Sussex bowlers on fire - a case of "Barrow-In-Furnace"?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Looks like I spoke too soon. Aerial Supplier has just hit Magoffin out of the attack, the useless Aussie waster. Here comes Katie...

That is genius and something I will adopt with immediate effect.

48-2 with the confident Buttler just in. Arsegrippingly tight.

 

[Postman Pat]

Oh no, not Butler.... here comes the triple hundred...

 

[Benson]

Suppiah has done his job as pinch hitter. With B&B at the crease a long afternoon in the field beckons for the plucky lads.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

BBC site now claiming that Panesar held a catch. Absolute shambles. We pay a licence fee for this shit.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Butler & Barrow? Sounds like a pub name in Islington.

 

[tinycowboy]

Somerset have scored ten runs in the last 3 overs. Take off two balls for unfortunate wickets, extrapolate over 100 overs and, ignoring the wickets, you're looking at a score of 375 plus the 50 odd already scored. On this pitch, that is very, very competitive.
