COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP - DIVISION TWO - today Sussex v Notts

[CHAPPERS]

Archer confirms England plans. Two years in to seven year residency eligibility.

Five more years - give this man a fast track Visa. Amazing he lives with Jon Lewis and his family and said he has only been spotted once out the ground, and that was in the Co Op.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Interesting game from a coach perspective - as a rule of thumb, we expect the top 6 batters to make 80% of the team's total score.

For Sussex, the top 6 collectively made 147 of the 565 = 26%
For Notts, the top 6 collectively made 188 of their 477 = 39%

Top tail-wagging here ..... batters 7-11 scored 707 of the 1,042 runs = 68%

No more rain forecast so 9 more Warks wickets and they are down

And now the problem is Warks poor bowling attack. I knew the spawny gits would escape somehow!

Don't Panic....

I so want them to go down, more glee than anything!

Easy, they'll knock those off in 20 overs, luck of the Irish that lot. Alternatively, Rod Bransgrove will strike a deal with the ECB to ensure they remain in the top division because they're massive and play test matches at their soul-less bowl.

Yes, I was imitating their batting mind set for the next few hours - Dads Army

I would love this too, I can't stand that club.

Notts have no reason to chase it though.

Luke Wells needs to score 78 in this innings to be the top run scorer in Div 2 this season (above Daryll Mitchell). Currently 55 no so just 23 more required.

And 303 to beat Sangakarra, might want to get a move on.

Looking at the stats, 19 innings each and James Vince (called up in the England squad) currently has 11 runs more than Jofra Archer, a bowler. Vince is still currently batting so that will go up

But how many wickets has Vince got? That will be the deciding factor.
