Very relevant point though.
You’re less likely to come off for bad light when the ball is being milked 1’s and 2’s more often compared to 7 overs of a ball being smacked at a fielders face in dusk.
There’s endless approaches to winning a game of cricket. In the context of this game and the...
Of course they have just made the 400 now, and more often than not they have this season.
But with the light fading and potentially losing time before bat friendly conditions, I don’t agree with the increased risk the last 7 batting overs had. Much more comfortable upping the rate and momentum...
Catching up to 400 with a handful of overs to go, has happened on at least 4 occasions this season from memory. Accumulating the runs to win the game being the first priority isn’t a horrible idea (and it’s worked)…
But I don’t agree with the execution again. Doesn’t seem to be adjusted for the...
Gloucestershire have an uncanny knack of defending low totals. Usually hustling Sussex! I suppose it’s better the devil you know, as that Warwickshire side looked very strong on paper.
The club stated it “costs money” to host a FC match away from Hove. We don’t have the full financial breakdown, but we can make reasonable assumptions.
When Hove is set up for the whole 18 (19) FC home game season, costs are effectively spread over all those games. Each game will have its own...
Interviews with him, and his Brave captain Vince, made it pretty clear they’re just as frustrated by the ECB restricting his play time as Sussex are.
The Brave team having 4 current Sussex and 4 former Sussex players is actually making it interesting to me. Just a shame I’d never head over to...
Should be fine as the core of the team will stay together for the 50 over cup, and I’m sure the experienced players getting a deserved rest (Simpson, Hughes & another?) will pick it up. Plus Robinson and Coles will keep themselves fit from playing some of the Hundred games.
Amazing stuff.
A very interesting game is brewing down at Hampshire too. Essex need 38 off 3 overs to qualify with 5 wickets left. A good comeback from them.
159 needed to win for Somerset.
Sussex will need something special to defend this here. Still, if we lose there’s still a chance Glamorgan have a day out at their home and Sussex win at home to Middlesex.
