Hildreth was a big wicket AND NOW ANOTHER....!!!!

In a ridiculous contradiction of my earlier post I am now happy to discuss exactly why professional captains and coaches are so conservative with their declarations... to the layman spectator it does seem that they nearly always delay far beyond the point at which we would happily start trying to win the game.

I knew we would go big as the wicket had seriously flattened out. But batting on after lunch was singularly pointless. Just hope we don't regret it.

Wicket an over in all but one of the last five

Keep this up please

 

[Simster]

Well the last half hour has pretty much ruled out a Sussex defeat. A very strange feeling indeed.


Good Lord, it's FIVE.

Unbelievable SCENES

 

[Peter Grummit]

5!!

 

[Simster]

Fall of wickets
1-69 (Trescothick, 19.1 ov),
2-75 (Myburgh, 21.2 ov),
3-76 (Hildreth, 22.2 ov),
4-80 (Abell, 23.1 ov),
5-84 (Allenby, 24.1 ov)




It's almost as if Sussex are batting.

Just off a Conference Call - WTF is going on?

 

[Badger]

Has someone taken a rotavator on to the wicket?

I think it's 'taking spin'...

 

[KingKev]

With Hants capitulating to Worcester and Notts on course for 12-13 points in their game, picking up these last 5 wickets would be a big boost for Sussex. A draw would probably leave us in the bottom 2?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

No wicket for a while now.

 

[Badger]

20 dot balls in a row.
