County Championship Division One, Yorkshire v Sussex at Leeds

[chucky1973]

Is this match a re run of a couple of years ago when Sussex were good?

50 up for Joyce, well played!

50 up for Joyce, well played!

More luck than judgement.

236/5 at lunch

Yorkshire have just tucked into their lunch and now they'll inevitably tuck into our middle order and tail. 300 if we're lucky.

Middle order? Is that supposed to be some kind of sick joke? The middle order is long since dispatched. The tail started at 6.

 

[Uncle Buck]

On the basis the weather will turn, I would think Sussex need to get to 300 sharpish and then declare.

252 for 5

 

[Pavilionaire]

Ben Brown crashes a boundary to bring up the 50 partnership and the 250 for Sussex.

In the same way that Joe Gatting is not his uncle, Ben Brown is not Matt Prior. He will be dismissed within 10 minutes for having ideas above his station. He is, as we know, a poor man's Hodd.

It feels like a lifetime ago since we racked up 300 in the first innings. We can't have done that more than thrice last season.

Edit: 6 times in 16 matches. Not as bad as I feared.

 

[Benson]

I have this horrible feeling we are falling into a massive, Yorkshire set, trap.

I just hope someone can hang around for a while with Monty until the rain sets in.

It feels like a lifetime ago since we racked up 300 in the first innings.

At 295/5 there's a slim chance we might scrape past that mark this time.

 

[Pavilionaire]

300 up with a boundary from Brown. Him and Yootha have put on 105, but you know it won't last...

 

[Stumpy Tim]

At 295/5 there's a slim chance we might scrape past that mark this time.

303-5. 297 extras

At 295/5 there's a slim chance we might scrape past that mark this time.

Phew! We are there.

Apparently we have scored 58/0 off the last 10.0 overs. I assume cricinfo have cocked up with the decimal point.

 

[Box of Frogs]

What the bejesus is Brown doing? 71 off 79 balls so far!

Does he not realise this is a three day game not 20/20?

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Joyce gone for 92

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Joyce gone.

The collapse continues and one has a terrible sense of deja vu following this match.

Good comment from radio listener "we've been outplayed and should just move on". Idiot presenter thought it was a Yorkshire fan...!!!
