Sussex v Yorkshire (Arundel) Day One.

[The Large One]

Sixth best fourth-wicket stand ever for Sussex.

326* - James Lagridge & G Cox Jr v Yorkshire 1949
303* - Alan Wells & Colin Wells v Kent 1987
281 - James Langridge & TER Cook v Surrey 1930
266 - James Langridge & G Cox Jr v Lancashire 1939
259* - James Langridge & DV Smith v Notts 1950
257 - CJ Adams & MW Goodwin v Yorkshire 2006



But NOT their best stand together. That was 267 for the third wicket against Leicestershire. You know, the one where Murray ended up 335*.

 

[John Boy]

Goodwin gets his double ton!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Nice one.

 

[The Large One]

Murray's fifth double ton or better for Sussex. Only John Langridge (8), CB Fry (13), and Ranjitsinhji (14) can better that.

And there's the fifth batting point. Thang yow very much.

 

[John Boy]

401/5

Is this the first time this season, we have collected 5 batting points?

 

[John Boy]

RMJ out for 32.

405/6

 

[TSB]

Is this the first time this season, we have collected 5 batting points?

Yep 410/6

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Great showing. A little bit of shut up shop now until after the 130th over and then a bit of a blast upto 500

 

[Trigger]

The bat swinging has started...

441/6

Goodwin 225*
Arafat 18*

 

[TSB]

455-7.

Murray goes for 235,caught by the keeper...not a bad innings though

 

[The Large One]

Fantastic knock there by Murray Goodwin.

235 runs (three short of Yorkshire's total) in 332 balls (S/R 67.78), scoring 32 fours and one six.

 

[Trigger]

Highest score in CC1 this season I think.

 

[Marc]

[Trigger]

[The Large One]

Highest score in CC1 this season I think.

Looks like you're right.

And his average has gone from 39.41 to 54.46.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

240,plus infront M/G 235.

 

[Trigger]

479 for 7 at close of play.

A lead of 241 runs.

Looks like Yasir Arafat can bat a bit too, 40 not out off 56 balls.

 

[The Large One]

And at stumps on Day 2

Yorkshire 238
Sussex 479/7
Arafat 40*
Kirtley 6*

Bonus points: Sussex 8, Yorkshire 3

Sussex scored 427 runs today for the loss of five wickets, Murray Goodwin the star of the day with his magnificent 235 off 322 balls, together with Chris Adams' 107 off 176 balls, the pair putting on a fourth wicket partnership of 257. Sussex, with three first innings wickets remaining, lead by 241.

Eat that.
