County Championship Div 2 Kent v Sussex at the Nevill

[BensGrandad]

Root makes the 'odd decent score' and is 'not to be relied on'. FFS..........4th in Test, 7th in ODI and 5th in T20 in World Rankings. Yeah, get rid and bring Mike Gatting back.

Maybe but still prone to throw his wicket away when he is looking to get a big score.

Compared to who ? I'll just leave this here......you carry on though

Cook? Tendulkar?

Oh



Oh that Bairstow......rubbish!! Only averaging 87 this season!

 

[LamieRobertson]

All out 333...no doubt will be asked to follow on in the morning

 

[vegster]

We can still win this division....we only need to win 4 or 5 more matches...

Sussex following-on this morning, trailing by 242 runs on first innings, with 95 overs to play today.

Needs some of the top order to show some spine today.

I've played at the Nevill Ground. Its beyond flat. A lovely place to experience playing but a hiding to nothing as a fast bowler.

If the batsman show application and concentration, then anyone simply looking to survive ought to be almost impossible to get out.

This would appear to support your point. From the BBC live feed...

Sussex hold off Kent bowlers

If you're a fan of Kent or Sussex, you might be wondering why I haven't updated you on what's going on at Tunbridge Wells.

The truth is, there's very little happening. Barely anything in fact.

Sussex still have all ten wickets intact, but they've also scored just five runs in the last ten overs.

Sussex 38-0 (22 overs) Finch 24*(66) Nash 11*(68)

I watched a day of Glamorgan v Kent at Sofia Gardens a few weeks ago, there was about 30 other supporters. On the plus side, no queueing for beer and burgers.

Sussex crawling along... 125-2 (53 overs, RR2.33)... Finch 54(156) Taylor 20(38)

Trailing by 117 with 43 overs left in the day.

173 - for 3 at tea. 69 runs behind with 34 over left.

173 - for 3 at tea. 69 runs behind with 34 over left.

I don't think it's that slow: they're going along at a little under 3 an over. OK, it's not super rapid but that's better than par for a team trying to bat out the day

 

[ManOfSussex]

216-4. 19 overs left.

 

[Titanic]

Luke Wright out... for 38 from 84 balls, lbw Tredwell (with the new ball!)

237-5 (83.3) trailing by 5 with 12.3 overs remaining. Why are they still out there?

 

[CHAPPERS]

No shock if they lose here

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 245-5 (87.3 overs) leading by 3, with 8.3 overs remaining.

Why are they still out there/?
