[Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Somerset v Sussex at Taunton

[Moshe Gariani]

Sussex safely through to 12-0 at lunch and trail by 54 runs.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I'll be generous and say it will only cost us 3 wickets to catch up those 68 runs.

Is this what is known as Greek logic?

28/1 - it begins

We are in the lead, we should celebrate while we can at this Pyrrhic victory

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Really strange goings on down at Taunton.

The sun comes out on a reasonable pitch and suddenly the likes of Ed Joyce and Matt Machan have remembered how to hold a bat again. Who would have thought it?

90 run partnership they won't make 100, it will end in tears

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Does anyone know how long Chris Adams' contract as batting consultant lasts for....?

His impact over the past couple of weeks must surely warrant a permanent appointment.

Edit: Scratch that. Joyce and Adams OUT.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

185/2 currently, and Machan has 84 from 86 balls.

So what you're essentially saying is we need a batting coach...? Who would've thunk it.

I thought our failures were all down to poor wickets and bad luck?

Matt Machan 100* (113 balls, 16 fours)

Sussex 228-2

 

[Mattywerewolf]

should that say 22-8?

228-2 seems unlikely

Taunton wicket reverting to type - sounds like a 500 lead will be required to save the game.....
