***CC Division Two, Sussex v Derbyshire, County Ground Hove, Sep 12-15 10.30 startsl***

[Petee]

7 down and the inevitable walking wicket Luke Wright is still in

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I wonder if Luke will just focus on 20 20 next year to maximise his performances, stay healthy and keep earning okay money. Always thought he would be a class 4 day cricketer as he got older.

 

[Perry Milkins]

Now who would have predicted this?

 

[Perry Milkins]

Too many batsmen not even Div 2 standard. Season all but over.

was it ever alive Pav?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Its the nearly team and season, MaGoffin will return, we will play Evans and Salt, then we will go and thrash Durham and Notts and finish just short

 

[Petee]

Derbyshire have only won 1 Championship game this season

Now who would have predicted this?

Everyone

It's the Sussex way

 

[CHAPPERS]

Players are on holiday already.

 

[Petee]

Players are on holiday already.

Maybe they're on the piss after celebrating an early promotion....oh wait......

 

[Petee]

Follow-on avoided!

 

[Petee]

200 up and 1st batting point

 

[Petee]

256-8 at tea. Wright still there on 59*. Up to 2 batting points! Can we make it 3? Doubt it.

 

[Brovion]

Wright owes us that innings.

He'll be out first ball after tea obvs.

 

[Petee]

271 all out so just the 2 batting points. Must win now. Derbyshire 67 ahead. (69 now as they are 2-0)

Wright ended on 70*

Worcs about to bring up their 200 and they're only in 52nd over so look likely to get full batting points.

Season over.

 

[Simster]

10/1

 

[Pavilionaire]

was it ever alive Pav?

Probably not. To quote Monty Python, this has been a 'Norwegian Blue' of a season; it looked good but, ultimately, flightless and still caged in Division 2.

 

[BensGrandad]

we did well to get reasonably near to their total now down to the bowlers to step up.

 

[Petee]

Derbyshire 90-2. 7 more to get due to Godleman's injury

 

[Bold Seagull]

we did well to get reasonably near to their total now down to the bowlers to step up.

Not entirely sure when 67 adrift become reasonably close...
