Great bowling and patience - 2 more wickets after tea for the whole 3 bonus points

Hatchett on a Michelle

First ball after T

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Hatchett Pfeiffer and three bonus points to boot

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Must admit I'd written off Hatchett with Garton starting over him this season. Great to see him do well and Whittingham get two wickets on debut

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

191 all out

Brilliant bowling especially from the local boys

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

26 overs left in the day

70 plus for nowt would be fantastic - lets hope Nash and Joyce can dig in

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Nash goes for 37

71 for 1

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Derbyshire 191

Sussex 83/1 (26 ov)

Stumps - Sussex trail by 108 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great Day One, if we finally put runs on the board in the 1st innings our season will have started proper.

How green is my wicket ?

Yes, I wonder if thats the main reason Briggs is nowhere near the squad.

Yes, I wonder if thats the main reason Briggs is nowhere near the squad.

Wells outbowled him against Leicester.

A great day in the sunshine yesterday, especially after the freezing northern shenanigans the day before. Plenty of Sussex fans in evidence and some friendly commiserations from Derbyshire folk.

Sadly, the forecast is poor from tomorrow afternoon onwards so it may be difficult to see this out.

Cant believe the weather is now going to play a big part.

Good read/feature about the ECB hoarding money and not wanting to progress four day game but ruin it with City format

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/36245090

North of Essex and Gloucestershire. Other 7 counties in South :Kent, Sussex, Surrey , Msex, Hants, Glam and Somerset.
This leaves Worcestershire, Northants Warwickshire Derby Notts and Leicester with the real northerners of Lancs, Yorks and Durham.

I'm sure the line will be drawn in this shape though £

 

[Mackenzie]

The last 10 overs 14 runs 0 wickets.

That's entertainment!

Loved the Derbyshire comentator saying are they advocating going back to Kent Lords v 27 lads, were the Gentelmen can have a bet and WG can pass the hat around. I am worried for Sussex about the changes afoot.

As for the last 10 overs 1.5 an over, we are becalmed as regards bonus points - will have to start picking off a bowler soon
