[Cricket] County Championship Div Two, Sussex v Northamptonshire at Arundel, Jun 22nd-26th

[Titanic]

Sussex 178 all out

Nash 75, Machan 30, Shahzad 20.

Feeble.

 

[Luke93]

Need a handicap of +200 runs each week!

 

[Titanic]

A late wicket for Ollie Robinson... Rob Newton managed 0 in 36 minutes from 24 balls before missing a straight one!

22-1

What chance Duckett fills his boots against Sussex again?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Murray Goodwin batting coach ?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Machan gone... 133-5

30 from 34 balls was not really what Sussex needed from him.

Seriously, if they ruin the first day I've been able to get off for ages I'm going to be an unhappy Tim

 

[Titanic]

Enjoying the inadvertently broadcast background chatter from the comm box... while the covers come off etc... hopefully a 12:30 start.

 

[Titanic]

Muttering about having another coffee and what do you do when it goes down... and some rather odd background music, sounds a bit like Lonnie Donegan 'Putting on the style'??

 

[Titanic]

Now a bit of the Beatles... Paperback writer... and some discussion about Jamie Vardy and his new contract... 'Go and find your own players'!

 

[Titanic]

Ah... sounds like BBC Radio Surrey in the background... and 'actually it does look a bit brighter now' followed by 'soul destroying for the groundsman dragging it all off and then dragging it out again'

to the sound of 'Don't leave me this way' by The Communards

more muffled announcements... and a smattering of applause... so maybe we are due some action shortly!

 

[Titanic]

Wakely and Duckett... rather like Little and Large

 

[Taybha]

" You may push you may shuv but i'm Hemed if i'll be druv "

 

[Titanic]

Northamptonshire 103-1 (30.1 overs)... we need to get someone #OUT soon, but Northants batters are looking to #REMAIN all day by the look of it.

 

[Taybha]

Oi Ducky

 

[Titanic]

Got 'im!!!

Finally, a breakthrough for Shahzad... Duckett drives and edges... a good catch at slip by Nash

118-2 (34.4 overs)

[Pavilionaire]

Duckett and Wakely on the brink of a well-deserved 100 partnership. Laydeez and gennelmen, ze buffet iz now open!

Well... they were. Duckett back in the coop.

Why was Shahzad not introduced earlier this morning?

It makes no odds, our bowlflids are no match for this lot.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Excellent news, they'll still some leather on willow for me tomorrow. To be honest I arrive in time for lunch, have a quick meeting, couple of pints, afternoon tea and then MAY get to watch a bit of cricket, tennis or polo, whatever's going on outside!
