Clydesdale bank 40 Derbyshire v Sussex 01-05-11

[jakarta]

I know you have to wait until the second lot bat but this feels very much a lightweight score.....

p.s. moronic Derby commentators think Will Beer is called Dear

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

A mate at the ground has said that the pitch is two paced and slow, as indicated by Chesney Hawkes getting career best figures of 3-20, when he has only ever taken 4 wkts at an average of 66
190-200 will not be bad, having said that, some of the shot selection has been piss poor

Would that be a mutual acquaintance called AEW? He tends to have the proverbial rose-tinted googles on when watching Sussex....

Still we have two decent spin bowlers playing so lets see how it goes....

192-8

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

It would be Jez, but face it how has The One and Only got 3-19.
Beer and Monty should bamboozle them, as long as they dont get the runs before the spin twins get on

Derby going at 8 an over so we had better get them on straight away!

How much batting have they got after these (top quality) openers?

Derby (DERBY!!!) absolutely pishing this - I'm sure I can remember we used to be pretty good at this one-day cricket stuff?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Halfway through the innings.
100/6 off 20 overs.

... and Derbyshire are 120/3 off 20 overs.

I think there used to be an old saying about Derbyshire ccc's ground..." If you can see the hills to the north, it's going to rain...... if you can't see the hills, it's raining already "


I have hope !

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I think Mr Duckworth and Mr Lewis would have them ahead of us.

 

[vegster]

well, if we could just take a couple more wickets combined with 2/3 maidens that will change.....this weekend I'm on a roll and I'm hangin' in there !

 

[jakarta]

As Paul Calf would say "Bag of Shite".......

 

[SirElliotBennett]

97/3 off 16.4

now 167/3 with 8 overs to get 27.
Would need something special to win that.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Nice one. All over. Not a single Sussex batsman with over 40 runs today. Shocking.

 

[Scotty Mac]

how the f*** have we gone from being arguably the best one day side in the country to losing to f***ing derbyshire?
