Sussex v Wancashire (2nd - 5th Aug)

[countrygull]

356-7: already a very creditable score and rising....

 

[Man of Harveys]

Am I right in thinking that 399 and over gets maximum batting points?

Only in the first 130 overs...

We have 6 overs to get 35 runs.

 

[CHAPPERS]

The right batsmen are in to make sure we get there.

31 required from 4.1.

Or maybe the idea is just to deny Lancs an extra bowling point, although I see no value as it will cost us a batting point.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Good point. Declare on 8 wickets whatever happens, do you think? Or do they need to get the 9 wickets within 130 overs?

Within I believe, for both batting and bowling points.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Ah ha. Good - Let's go for it!

26 needed off 15 balls I believe...

Forget it, no chance

(well, everyone has been making duff predictions in this thead, I was feeling left out)

There really is no chance with Keedy bowling the 130th over.

 

[McShane79]

17 off 5 balls...

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

388/7 off 130

Sussex 4 pts Wanks 2

 

[Trigger]

17 off 5 balls...

Three Arafat cow corners, job done...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Another 50 or so before lunch in order then we can think about declaring.

 

[McShane79]

Nah 188 for 7 off 130 overs. 4 points for us, 2 for Lancs. Settle for that!

 

[McShane79]

Kent v Hants still hasn't kicked off today - keep on raining!

 

[cardboard]

404-7

 

[Uncle Buck]

409-8

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

WELL good recovery


me thinks we shouldn't lose this bad boy now

One feature of our batting this season has been depth, right down to the bowlers - Arafat, Mushy and Luke Wright can all score good runs. There's nothing like tail-enders holding the opposition up to really frustrate them. Here's to them then wiping out several early Lancs wickets when they get on to bowl later ...
