[Cricket] *** Kent v Sussex *** Match thread

[Luke93]

Brown delayed his declaration for too long last week and it looks like he's doing it again. I don't understand this at all

Brown isn’t playing this game.

Got to feel for Head 49 N.O. which is his current best for Sussex.

And why do it with Head on 49 and just short of the 350 lead. Tell him to spank it anywhere and then we'll declare.

A poor captain, mind you we haven't had a good one since Chris Adams retired.

Ah well, 88 overs to see off the Kent Seconds.

I thought for a horrible moment that we were waiting until Head got his 50.

Wasn't the case.

Ollie Robinson is captain for this match.

 

[Gwylan]

Ollie Robinson is captain for this match.

Yes, I remembered that when Kent started their innings

Sounds like being too cautious is the Sussex way

 

[amexer]

Lets hope we win but what was point on batting beyond 300 to win. Kent have 7/8 debutants and have no hope of chasing that against Robinson who can bowl anytime we look in trouble.

The Roses match has been abandoned as a draw ('unsafe conditions') with poor Luke Wells stranded 97 not out. Gutted.

They halted play on day three after Yorkshire's Dom Leech was injured and water rose to the surface in "key areas" of the outfield.

X-rays later confirmed Leech dislocated a joint at the side of his left knee. Would that joint be his knee then? Odd reporting

We should have declared last night and bowled at them for half an hour in the dark.

Comedy run out

2 down

Going to be a draw isn't it?

 

[amexer]

. Coles goes for 12 in an over and Robinson back on. Such inexperienced batsmen have no chance of that run rate with Robinson bowling and Carson no mug

 

[Pavilionaire]

133-3.

I'm glad to see the back of that Kuhn, he can be quite a dangerous player.

 

[GT49er]

Going to be a draw isn't it?

Yep.

 

[Machiavelli]

Oh well, at least the best team drew.

 

[Gwylan]

I think this has been a poor show from Sussex. We're playing Kent's Second XI, we had to go for the win here. I really don't understand why we settled for the draw. It would have never happened under Dexter, Trout or Grizz

You're right Trout would have declared far sooner ensuring Kent win.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Late twist? 4 wickets needed from 35 balls after Finch tickles one behind.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Qadri goes too. 3 wickets needed from 30 balls
