Sussex v Leicestershire, Hove, 27-30 April, LVCC

[Mendoza]

Anyon and Thornley thinking of the TEAM and battling for a draw at best. Better than that rubbish from Nash who try and get to 10 as quickly as possible before throwing away a cheap wicket

 

[keaton]

I can only assume we're trying to tire out their opening bowlers.
Or Goodwin's being drinking again

 

[Simster]

5 runs in the 4th over.

Get on with it Sussex, for fucks sake.

 

[simmo]

The commentators seem to have three openers opening Nash, Thornley and Anyon, perm any 2 of 3 for the correct answer

The commentating is absolutly laughable, they have been calling Anyon, Nash for the first 5 minutes and for the next 5 minutes they have called Thornley, Nash.

They have now realised that Nash is not out there

 

[VeronaSeagull]

I think Goodwin is thinking our only chance of winning is to confuse the Leicestershire bowlers or at least to lull them into a false sense of security

 

[Gwylan]

They now have realised that it is Thornley and Anyon - only took them four overs.

It's great to see that Murray and Robbo have seen what needs to be done to turn Sussex's fortunes around by letting Anyone open the innings. We'll need a big score on the board before Nash comes in at number 11.

He is, Gatting in now he already has cracked a 4 and john lees has been bigging him up as a potentially great player from a great pedigree. Bound not to get double figures now.

 

[Gazwag]

I believe it's still 1 run for a no ball in t championship.
If a batter hits a n/b for [say] 4 - n/b = 1 runs = 4. score = +5
If everyone misses a n/b which goes all the way over the boundary = 5 n/b [not byes]

yeah, so I cant understand where 3 lots of 6nb come from in that innings

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

is Nash Injured ??

 

[Hotchilidog]

is Nash Injured ??

I think Nash quite rightly is too embarrassed to be seen in public anymore with this shower!

 

[simmo]

No word on Nash, Lees is in the dark about that one........ for a change.

Anyon has a highest first class score of 37. Bit of a curveball there as to why he is opening

 

[Gwylan]

Leics now have a wicket-keeper fielding - there are some weird things going on this match.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

219 points won Div 2 last year (Kent with 8 wins).

We are MILES AWAY from that - what a pathetic effort.

Yes indeed I can't see us getting anywhere near that. Especially as our next CC game is against the mighty Middlesex.
