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

[stss30]

Adams gone. Hants 29/2

 

[jakarta]

Plunkett gone. Yorks all out I think for 251, but as they have not mentioned the score yet, it is a bit tricky to tell.

Time to score 400 then......

Oh Dear....

 

[Papa Lazarou]

No, that is assuming Hampshire get bowled out for less that 200 in their first innings and still win. They could still get 5 batting points and get 24 pts from that match, in which case we'd need 6 more points to the 3 bowling ones we have - we'd therefore need to avoid defeat and bat well in the first innings to stay up.

If Hampshire don't get all their batting points but win, we can then afford to lose, but could still stay up. i.e. if we get 5 batting points putting us on 8 points, we could lose but it still puts us above Hants if they only got 23 points from their match.

Lets say they don't exceed 350 but win the game, they'd have 22 points, we'd need 7 points to stay up, therefore we'd need 350 (4 points), or the draw (5 points).

So, we could know today then.

 

[Everest]

And it begins

3/1 Joyce gone

Hants 2 down

 

[stss30]

Typical Sussex 3/2 Jordan gone.

 

[Nathan]

**** it. Jordan gone.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Make that 3 for 2. Katie gone.

Can we have a bonus point when we get to 5 please?

 

[Bold Seagull]

So, we could know today then.

Yes, if Hants drop batting points, we can stay up on just bonus points, so we might well know today.

Hants 33-2
Sussex 3-2............2 overs bowled....

 

[Nathan]

As long as we match Hants we are ok.

If we get bowled out for under 200 and so do Hants, with both teams losing, we are safe.

 

[jakarta]

Well this experiment has gone well hasn't it?

 

[Sargey]

We deserve to be relegated with our batting this season!!

Matt Machan = Big Ton now ?

 

[8ace]

 

[Gwylan]

And the commentary is now unavailable - we can't even listen to our inevitable demise

 

[Sargey]

18-2

Machan 12
Nash 1

 

[KZNSeagull]

And the commentary is now unavailable - we can't even listen to our inevitable demise

It's back on the web. Does not make it any better though. 26 for 2.

 

[KingKev]

Brooks, Sidebottom and Plunkers...doubt Rashid will even need to warm up. If they'd put that side out against Hants then our margin for error (bat-fliddery) would no doubt be wider than it now is.

 

[Phil B]

Hants 51-3

 

[vegster]

Has anyone bothered to give Nash a bat to use? He's marooned on 1?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Would I be right in thinking that if Hants continue their poor start and are bowled out for under 250 then we're safe if we reach 250?

That would mean us on 5 points and them dropping 4 points, creating the 9 points needed for safety before the game.

 

[Titanic]

Nash has taken a nasty rap on the hand... but is soldiering on.

31-2 (8.2 overs)
