Northamptonshire v Sussex Math thread

[Moshe Gariani]

Oh, it's a math thread

100 + (8 x 2) = 116

116 x 7 = 812

812 - 3 - 2 = 807

Bad Light saves us...

This is going to be a Long Season.

The last time we played Northampton there were lots of runs and very few wickets. Wantage ROAD was about right, Sounds like this is another belter - what a track for Garton to make his debut on

George will have been picked partly because he swings the ball and can take wickets.regardless of the surface. Very, very difficult though making a step up in class and clearly looks like the batters will be on top in this game.

Are we already looking at very high scoring innings and a draw?

Probably not.

Have we lost yet. Praying for rain as usual save our batters being humiliated

CLATTER of wickets this morning.

Northants have COLLAPSED and are 401-5 at lunch.

Pleasing brace for George Garton.

100 + (8 x 2) = 116

116 x 7 = 812

812 - 3 - 2 = 807

surely a bit easier (than bowling northants out) - 100 x 8 = 800, +7 = 807

(do you have to use all the numbers? if so: (100x8)+(7x(2+2-3))



and back to the cricket

We should declare before we have to bat just to spare ourselves.

Did one of the apes tell you the formula

Bad light but still playing

We must have a new ball is it 110 this season

Some knock by Duckett 266 no

456 for 6

Bad light has stopped play - may also be gloomy in the Sussex dressing room - a lot of toiling so far in this game

Bad light? they don't seem to be having too much difficulty smashing the pies round the park... what a ridiculous decision to come off.

In the last 3 overs, Briggs went for two boundaries, then Shahzad for 11 including a SIX, and a boundary 4 off the last ball of the Briggs over before they came off. RIDICULOUS

Apparently Brown has no choice all decided by the umpires this season - light has to improve from last reading from stumps prior to coming off for them to return

If it had been at Hove today would have been off a lot for rain

If it uses up time and helps us get a draw, even at this early stage rather than lose, who will complain

 

[Titanic]

This uncontested toss stuff seems to have made all the difference then?

I will. It is a disgrace and no way to treat the paying public.

Yes will be interesting how this pans out and if it changes the whoever wins the toss wins x amount of games

50 over one day game, there are no wide balls, no wides, no extras and no overthrows.

What is the maximum number of runs that a batsman could score in an ideal case scenario, having to keep strike for the next over.
