[Cricket] What is the record opening stand v Sussex?

[GT49er]

Sussex's record opening partnership was against Middlesex - the massive 490 that Ted Bowley and John Langridge put on in 1933. It's the second highest partnership in the CC. If Haines and Orr beat that, they're going some

I interviewed John for The Cricketer once and he was typically modest about that partnership, said that it was a good batting track where everything came together. It sounds like this wicket is similar

Hey ho - records are there to be broken!

Thanks for the info.

Could be a young mans batting wicket yet, any sign of rain

O me of little faith. I just know my hopes and dreams are going to be shattered tomorrow morning

That's not quite what Prior said. He said that money wasn't the reason that they were leaving - he didn't elaborate any further.
.

FWIW, Prior did say Jordan did not want to leave Sussex.

Sounds like the sort of wicket you could play the ball with your cock on.

Could be worse, yesterday Warwickshire scored 139/2 off 67 overs.

So far today they've managed to slow down.

Made it through to linch - over 100 runs, just for the loss of Orr. One session to Sussex!

I mean England would still manage to be 150-6 on this pitch so...

222 for 2 satisfies me


If we get to 242 for 2 I will be very happy.
