[Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Yorkshire v Sussex at Leeds, Sep 22-25, 2015

[BensGrandad]

Depends on the target. My preference remains that Yorkshire bat through until at least 11.00am tomorrow and that the game ends in a draw.

Which would mean us batting out the day.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I'm not sure I want us taking any wickets!!! Yorks now 244/7. Need to keep them in on a slow run rate till lunch tomorrow!

Agree. I'd be bowling Zaidi and Yardy.

I actually think our best hope is to win the game. Can't see us hanging tough for 80-90 overs so someone will need to get the lions share of the target and relatively quickly - or strike rate of 75-80. The draw is the least likely outcome at Leeds now.

Starts at 10.30am. In an ideal scenario Yorks would bat for an hour in the morning to make our task that much easier.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Still 16 overs to be bowled today (light / weather permitting) plus all day tomorrow. Whatever way you dice it up we're fukked in evey hole

I know what you mean, and it is hard to disagree, but I just don't see us cleaning up the tail - chasing 300+ seems so unlikely...

If Yorkshire bowled underarm we'd struggle to bat out the day. Only option is to go for the win for me.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Agree. I'd be bowling Zaidi and Yardy.

I disagree, we've got to keep bowling Jordan and the Goff until they drop. This side is incapable of blocking out 90 overs for 190 runs, it's win or bust.

 

[stss30]

Jordan gets Plunkett Yorks 255/8

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Well, it looks like we might be heading for win or bust.

Realistically, Yorkshire will feel they already have enough so they are not going to fanny about.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The first t15 overs of Hampshire's reply will pretty much decide things there, I reckon.

Come out fighting, reach 60 for 0 or 1 and they'll cruise it. 40/3 and they'll crumble, to be A/O for less than 100.

Er, 68-0 off 15 overs. Looks like Crumble's off the menu.

Yay for my prediction skills

Thanks a bunch Notts, not even trying to make a game of it...

 

[Gwylan]

Thanks a bunch Notts, not even trying to make a game of it...

Yeah, it's been a pretty poor effort from Notts. Broad went for 26 off three overs - a shocker

 

[Surf's Up]

Fidel Edwards has been a bit useful for Hampshire, 10 Notts wickets

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Positivity is needed (apparently).

 

[Pavilionaire]

Worth noting that in addition to Notts mailing in their performance vs. Hants I see second-placed Middlesex have been crushed by bottom side Worcestershire inside three days.

If we go down we go down, but are some of these performances proof that we do play too much domestic cricket?

 

[scousefan]

Crap crap and more crap. Division 2 here we come.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Wicket with last ball. Well bowled Hatch.

Who will be Sussex's heroes tomorrow?

Assuming glorious victory at c. 4 runs an over, pick two from Joyce, Jordan, Machan, Nash, Wright, Yardy, Brown and Zaidi ...
