Sussex v Yorkshire - days 2 & 3

[Peter Grummit]

Having enjoyed a great day at Hove yesterday I am now stuck back at the desk.

Early 4 off Bresnan. 390-5.

Anyone else having trouble with the BBC Commentary?

[REDLAND]

so assuming the 400 comes up fairly quickly what's the magic declaration figure ?

or do we just go till were all out, I'd like to see at least 500 by about 12-12.30 !!

 

[Peter Grummit]

Keep going for as long as possible!

The wicket was taking spin already yesterday and our plan must be to try and only bat once.

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Correct - strategy will be to bat on and set them over 500 if we can.

[Perry Milkins]

478-6

Should Adams declare before Yorkshire take enough wickets to earn the third batting point?

I think we need to try and bat to a point where we will not need to bat again.

Indeed. I was thinking a quick fire TON onto the score before letting our bowling MAGICIANS at them.

 

[Perry Milkins]

But if we can make say 600'ish with 7 down surely we should take that and not allow the Northerners to earn that last point?

That seems to be what Rana is doing.

Also we are nearly at 130 overs, so not sure they can get anymore bowling points.

I think the cut off for bonus points is 130 overs bowled.

 

[larus]

Only get bonus points in the first innings for the first 130 overs. Anything after that doesn't count.

497/6 (130.0 ov).


No more bonus points for the Whippet boys.
