[Cricket] LV COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP HAMPSHIRE V SUSSEX 11 am

[Moshe Gariani]

Why the hell would they not enforce the follow-on?!

Apart from the fact the bowlers had had a night's rest they've also had an AUTUMN and WINTER rest. FFS!

Clueless idiots. Just like everyone involved with BHAFC.

Strange, isn't it?

I refer to my post 160......it is such a modern thing to do i.e not enforce the follow on. It rarely happens now to be honest, but everything was in our favour to do so today. The bowlers must have been chomping at the bit and on a high after their successes in the first innings.

This is quite a spectacular FAIL

This is quite a spectacular FAIL

We don't want to leave them with 4.5 sessions to get 320.

I guess the thinking is that a low-scoring third innings by Sussex will force a finish to the game. Letting Hampshire loose to score 600 in the third innings risks a draw. At least this approach will guarantee the victory that Hampshire deserve.

There is a mistake on the BET365 website and you can get 8/1 about Hampshire winning this match.

I'd suggest piling in before it gets taken down - but they will obviously call "palpable error" and not pay out in any case...

Ahem

 

[Papa Lazarou]

A lot of pressure on Luke and the tail now.

Sussex LIMP past 100 in their second innings... 100-6.

Lead 313

 

[Papa Lazarou]

6/100 SIX from Wright

Shazad actually (unless Cricinfo are incorrect)

 

[Simster]

6/100 SIX from Wright

from Shazad according to cricinfo.




27 runs from the last 3 overs. Desperate, cavalier cricket. Lovely for the crowd to see our tail give a carefree last hurrah though.

A lot of pressure on Luke and the rest of the tail now.

Corrected for you
