Middlesex v Sussex. LVCC

[Knightsworld]

Middlesex 47/2 (19.5 ov)


Middlesex won the toss and elected to bat

 

[No. 25]

Nice to see Liddle getting a shot at 4-day cricket

Can't be much of a career - eight or nine four-over spells of T20 bowling every twelve months, with the odd 40-over game thrown in.

 

[Knightsworld]

Lunch.

83/2

 

[Knightsworld]

Middlesex 139/6 (54.5 ov)

3 for Chris Liddle

 

[Gwylan]

Middlesex all out for 234. That should be healthy three figure lead for them but they may have to bat again

 

[TSB]

It's all go, this thread.

 

[portlander]

A rare (very) decent day for Sussex. Cannot afford to lose this game. Probably still will though.

 

[sagaman]

Good performance but used pitch could get much worse

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

We have a lead with four wickets in hand, scoring very tough and slow

Middlesex 234
Sussex 249/6 (78 overs)

30 odd partnership Zaidi and Yardy

 

[jakarta]

Wheel Loose.

Looking forward to visits to Cardiff and Leicester next season.

 

[portlander]

Now this is real cricket. None of your two day Test matches and scoring at more than 4 an over. Here we have Michael Yardy grinding for every single run, as the Middlesex members snooze quietly under an August sun. Fantastic.

 

[jakarta]

Last 10 overs 1.90 runs per, that's PROPER Cricket....

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Poor Yardy ran out of grinders, would have been great for him to have got a 290 ball 100, 20/20 running the game on the youngsters

Middelsex blasting away at our 66 run lead at almost 3 an over

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Gibbons currently beating Wrights 28 balls for 1 with 32 balls for 2

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Middlesex 19 runs behind with no wickets down, looks like a one innings each two day match

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If everyone could bat like Gubbins (3 runs from 43 balls), there'd be just 40 runs scored in a whole day.

 

[jakarta]

If everyone could bat like Gubbins (3 runs from 43 balls), there'd be just 40 runs scored in a whole day.

When do we sign him? We need a FLAIR Batsman.

The Middle now 254-7 and over 180 in the lead, Malan beating us single handed.

 

[Gwylan]

Sussex must be sick of the sight of Malan: is that three centuries in four innings now? (and the other innings was 92)

 

[mona]

So glad that football is back and I love cricket. Sussex are spineless. Good luck to Ollie Robinson, Magoffin, Wright and a few others. The rest are not up to it and Robbo has run out of steam.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Toby Roland Jones goes on the last ball of the day.

Middlesex 234 & 326/8 (110.1 ov)
Sussex 300
Middlesex lead by 260 runs with 2 wickets remaining

Also Hampshire look like they could be on for win.
