Northants v Sussex county championship div 2 Mahoosive game starts today .

[DJ NOBO]

Still 32 overs tonight - need to get through without losing any more wickets tonight

In three hastily-written posts you have destroyed our season

 

[Simster]

Lovely stuff.

The shittest performance in weeks, just when we needed a half decent one. How very Sussex.

 

[A1X]

Can we pass Ben Duckett's score?

How very..indeed.

 

[Simster]

Can we pass Ben Duckett's score?

He got 193. We are 147/8.


Since 193 is greater than 152, the answer has to be no.

 

[DJ NOBO]

So...........why did we choose to bowl?

Edit: commentators saying we bowled badly. They bowled well. That'll be it then

Is Weise unable to bat?

I am away in France so don't know why Weise batted low down the order - but he's gone

Here comes the follow on - game over by lunch tomorrow

Don't worry, we won't have to bowl again.

54 overs we are 170 for 9

Sussex trail Northamptonshire by 256 runs with 1 wicket remaining

I just don't understand how the cricket fixtures work. Sussex doing really well and build up some good momentum ... and then a massive gap (how long was it? two weeks?) until the next championship game. Momentum gone. I can see no reason why there is not at least one championship game a week throughout the summer except for gaps for the 50 overs thing and the 20/20. Surley sitting around on their bums and training for two weeks doesn't serve a purpose for anyone?

And what has happened to Luke Wright's form?

div two long form cricket is way down the priority list. it's a shame, but attendances have always been low so it's not surprising . the scheduling will get worse when the new 20/20 competition comes in.

As for wright, he had a little run after giving up the captaincy but he really has gone off now. he's a great talent so don't write his career off yet

Shambles

Follow on, how many overs can we muster, again need to survive tonight at least

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

We'll lose, Worcs will beat Notts, season over.

All thanks to [MENTION=3347]Horton's halftime iceberg[/MENTION]

 

[Simster]

So Northants secured have a narrow lead then.

You can't pretend you're not to blame. You are.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Sussex facing an absolute iceberging.

The three optimistic posts in five minutes condemned us to an innings defeat

Hurrah - Bad light - I am far away tonight but may the rain Gods hurl it down in Northamptonshire for two days.
