[Cricket] ***Derbyshire CCC v Sussex CCC, CC, 16-19 September, 10.30KO, Derby***

[DJ NOBO]

For Derby.

Well, yeah. Obviously not for our ropey bunch of no hopers

 

[dazzer6666]

All out. Winnable.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Well, yeah. Obviously not for our ropey bunch of no hopers

The positives:

1. We have plenty of time to get the runs
2. We've avoided the dodgy 1st hour of the day
3. It's all or nothing. We need a Stokes like innings from someone.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

150 overs to get 344. Not impossible for a good side..........oh

Thats the trouble, we need to knock em off before close of play today

Palladino is injured .
For what was an already weakened Derbyshire side Ffs.
I’m the first to say our batting is pretty shit but surely this will at least be close.

This has Will Beer 17 from 93 balls written all over it

Delay Rawlins 7. 6 balls. 1 four.

Hugely solid reply of 8/0 at lunch

Phil Salt to hole out, for 40 from 31 balls

A classic T20 innings. Just need Luke Wright and Alex Carey to see us home.

 

[Simster]

We will be 40/3 an hour after lunch, then hopefully this thread will die a slow death - much like this utterly shit Sussex season.

Knowing how Sussex like to **** with our heads, I expect them to dangle hope in front of us for much longer, THEN they can collapse.

You mean "make a fist of it"? Sorry, not happening. We're turd. Or more accurately, inconsistent and really can't bat.

 

[Timbo]

Gloucester already have their feet up, Durham rolling over for Northants, even a win here leaves us with a lot to do.

Inconsistent allows us to bat properly from time to time. Let's see if it's today.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Afternoon session underway. No pressure lads.

Or salt gets 107.
Sussex go from 131-1 to 184 all out.

That's the Sussex I know and love.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Gloucester already have their feet up, Durham rolling over for Northants, even a win here leaves us with a lot to do.

But Gloucestershire are playing Northants in their final game so one of them is going to drop points. As Gloucs are further ahead than Northants we'll clearly want them to win.

Why am I saying this? Our season will be mathematically over in a few hours.
