[Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Sussex v Warwickshire at Hove, May 24-27

[Papa Lazarou]

Sussex require another 152 runs with 7 wickets remaining

Even if we get bonus points they will be lost in the subsequent points deductions

On the radio they're saying we're unlikely to get a deduction for the pitch, but we probably will for the over rate, but ONLY if we win.

 

[Postman Pat]

My point was that the bookies had this priced up wrong at the start of the Sussex innings and compounded their error after Sussex's moderately good start. Presumably the fall of the third wicket will now see Warwickshire marginal odds on and they'll probably still be the value.

Bet365 has Warks - 4/5, Sussex 10/11.

Considering how low scoring the game has been that is still massive value on a Warks win, they should be 1/2 - 2/5.

Usual goatmouth aside, this pitch isn't going to get any easier to bat on, and if we get within 40 of that score from here I'll be stunned.

Agreed. On this pitch you could easily see us skittled out for around 100-120 if the bowlers get on a roll.

Joyce gone first ball after lunch.

Ever the Optimist, 75 all out is more like it.

 

[Badger]

This is TOP stuff from Sussex

48/5

 

[Pavilionaire]

50 for the first wicket - what planet are you on?!? We'd be lucky to get 50 for the first 5 wickets.

The inevitability of it all is what I find most depressing

I used to bet too much, and haven't had a bet of any sort for 10 years, so this is dangerous territory for me but I couldn't help being intrigued...

It really seems like that circumstance beloved of the serious gambler where the bookies have inadequate information and get the odds significantly wrong. I wonder how often that happens in county cricket? Presumably the person making the live odds is actually at the game? Where would he/she sit at the County Ground? (could you spot them in the crowd?)

 

[Pavilionaire]

Luke Wright 0 off 9 then 7 off 22. Play your natural game son!

Indeed, I'm so fed up with the constant shattered dreams I'm tempted to get a tattoo of the Yorkshire badge on my arm, after all, it worked for KP and England.

Ben Brown 50* from 46 balls. Well played Sir!

[KingKev]

Wells and Brown the 2 top scorers in the game - Wells top by a mile - and were still loose. Woeful effort from the other 9 bat-flids.
