[Cricket] ***Middlesex CCC v Sussex CCC, Div 2 CC, Lords, 29 August -1 September***

[Postman Pat]

6 from 78 balls in 93 minutes.

I've played with people like that

I played with a guy once who opened the batting and was 3* at the end of 40ovs. He was on 2 at the end of the first over.

I held at the record at my last club for most balls faced without scoring (54). It was in the middle of a 108 partnership, to which I contributed 14.

This season, my daughter opened the batting and was 5* at the end of 20 overs #that'smygirl

I had a 90 ball for 6 runs once....Went into bat at 37 for 7, we just about scraped to 146 all out...its all about staying in and building partnerships even if the partnership is with byes and wides

 

[Taybha]

39 extras including 10 no balls !

Say what you want, both Middlesex bowlers going at a run a ball. That is CRAP.

Four wickets in under 20 overs though, that's not crap at all

[Pevenseagull]

one for each of our wickets following the first of your 2 very stupid comments!

Mea Culpa, but Middlesex were bowling Pies at the time. Clearly Sussex couldn't cope with even that level of bowling.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Anyone going to lords tomorrow ? I’ve got the day off and am quite tempted

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Sun is out! That bad light could have saved us losing a few more last night. Need to have some form of lead.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Jordan goes.

130 for 7

Another 120 runs would be quite handy but....if the weather is looking better for the next few days, if we got skittled at least we can try and get a few of their top order out before the shine comes off the ball..... we could be batting last on a three day pitch in good conditions having to chase maybe 250 to win.....what could possibly go wrong ?

 

[Postman Pat]

Brown lbw b Harris 24

139/8, still 30 runs behind, and 61 away from a highly unlikely batting point.
