[Cricket] **LVCC Division One, Sussex v Somerset at Hove, Sep 14-17, 2015**

[8ace]

3/88

 

[KZNSeagull]

Nash gone. 88-3.

 

[KZNSeagull]

50 up for Joyce. 51* 9 fours. 107-3

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Off for rain with us having nudged ahead of Hampshire.

Being greedy we'd like to be only 1 or 2 down but not a bad effort. Hopefully we can still bat most of a dry/brighter day tomorrow.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Raining. 122-3 Joyce 59* Wright 16*

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Looks like they are back out there. Bad news with the weather about - hiding to nothing for our boys. :crosseseverything:

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Phew... back off with a few precious runs added. Hopefully that is it until tomorrow.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Off again - 135-3

 

[KZNSeagull]

And playing again. 136-3 Joyce 69* Wright 20*

Balls. Make that 136-4 Wright gone for 20

 

[Moshe Gariani]

F*%K... That is seriously bad luck to have been repeatedly forced on and off with bad light and rain about. Made a wicket almost inevitable.

A wicket is always inevitable when Sussex are batting.

Has anyone got any idea why we elected to bat first? Wasn't today going to all about cloud cover, moisture and breeze?

Looks like a strange decision from here (admittedly 60-odd miles away)

 

[KZNSeagull]

Commentators saying that it looks a decent pitch - get a score, bowl them out I guess is the thinking. They forgot, though, that they are Sussex.

150 up - 154 for 5 Joyce 80* Yardy 7*

154 for 5? Force of habit, expecting a wicket to fall any minute?!?

162-5

 

[KingKev]

162-5

Yootha gone. Now in big trouble. Struggling for a batting point and having to bowl really well to stay in the game / division? Were loose

Could not believe we decided to bat first in these weather conditions , this ridiculous decision could see us relegated !

 

[Pavilionaire]

Yardy. Last home championship match before retirement, 162/5 and Sussex in need of runs. Cometh the hour, cometh the man?
