County Championship Division One, Yorkshire v Sussex at Leeds

[Knightsworld]

82/7

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

We have to make over 25 twice?

And with no Hoppo to bail us out either.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

82/7

The hosts remain well on track for a decisive opening contribution. A few more overs of Rafiq and they will be out of sight.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Another "one for the future". Perhaps Robbo should have thought about playing some homegrown talent up at Headingley rather than the ragbag of other counties' rejects and expensive foreign imports...

Obviously something up with Panesar as he has only been trusted with 2 overs.

Homegrown talent How about Wells, Nash, Yardy, Brown and Gatting in today's line-up, and Matt Prior the world's best keeper/batsman being rested.

94/8

 

[pasty]

Jordan 5-fer

 

[Knightsworld]

Michelle for Jordan

 

[Pavilionaire]

6-for-Jordan. This could be the cricket equivalent of Glenn Murray, but in reverse!

 

[Change at Barnham]

Michelle for Jordan

Make that 6 for 48.
3 bonus points in the bag. Say we are top of the league, say we are top of the league.

96 all out for the Yorkies

 

[Stat Brother]

We can take comfort from pushing a team like Yorkshire for all 4 days...






...before coming up short.

 

[CHAPPERS]

East Ridings of Yorkshire settle for 96. Confident.

 

[Hotchilidog]

We should at least be able to avoid the follow on, which is a relief.

 

[fisons]

Is Nash out yet?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Quietly confident... we will avoid the follow on

 

[Pavilionaire]

96 = handy score on this wicket. Let the real batting collapse ensue...

 

[Knightsworld]

Is Nash out yet?

He's not even bothering to pad up.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Dave the Gaffer has been very quiet. I was about to suggest he must be on holiday, but we would have been forewarned.

Perhaps waiting in the aisles to gloat.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Homegrown talent How about Wells, Nash, Yardy, Brown and Gatting in today's line-up, and Matt Prior the world's best keeper/batsman being rested.

All very well but NONE of those listed took any wickets did they?

That we are forced to field a bowling "attack" comprising of entirely imported players just shows that what many have been saying for years is true (i.e. Sussex need some proper bowling coaches to have any chance of bringing on HOMEGROWN talent).

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Doesn't seem much point planning on calling in at Headingly on our way up to Middlesboro'.

Of course Yorkshire might just be toying with us and will go for it in their 2nd inns.

 

[pasty]

Holding on well so far. 8/0
