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

[Badger]

Couple of overs from Wright then pull them in?

Collapse on, we'll be lucky to scrape the draw.

Why even bring Cachopa in ahead of Wright?

 

[Simster]

SIX for Wright, second ball.

Edit: And another


Edit: Good LORD and Another!

Come on Luke, we need some quick runs here - five balls faced and two of them dot balls?

 

[Badger]

Match delayed by bad light

Sussex seeing it like footballs and smashing the ball to the boundary so the umpires bring them off for Bad Light - could only happen at Cricket!

 

[Simster]

Bad light.

Bollox.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Bad light.

Bollox.

Luke was struggling to see that ball in recent overs.

 

[Nathan]

Early lunch then.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Assuming a risky lunchtime declaration, that would leave Somerset to score 403 in 72 overs (at 5.6 runs per over). I can see them achieving that by tea time.

Wright pings another couple of sixes & Sussex declare on 490/4.

Somerset to chase 425 with 67 overs available.

BBC Commentary reckon the declaration should have been made at Lunch.

Typical nonsense from village cricketers talking about the professional game. Sussex are very, very unlikely to bowl Somerset out on this non-deteriorated wicket and declaring early would just be stupid.

50 up already, Somerset flying along

15 overs into the reply and you can't really argue with this.

Wells gets Banger out for 33

Both Wells and Nash on with spin trying to slow it all down to a draw
