[Cricket] Somerset v Sussex LV county championship 8-6-14

[Pavilionaire]

With Chris Jordan they'd have been out for 150 and we'd be in the driving seat. Without him they've built a lead and will fancy their chances.

Lets hope the wicket takes spin on day four.

I kind of expected this kind of score from Somerset. It was obvious we didn't get enough runs yesterday.

However, as you say, to get them 39-5 and then mess it up so badly is pathetic.

Phew RHB gets Overton

283 for 9

Both captains said the pitch would improve, we need to score runs and post a lead, and hope spin wins us the game in the last innings

Lets hope the wicket takes spin on day four.

Day Four? I thought Somerset had already booked that as their golf day out?

Well all depends if we can survive the bowling attack tonight when we are put back in

 

[loco61]

75 ahead having been 39-5
we need to bat so much better second time around
sounds like wells might be injured
time for nasher, lukey w, rory, ben brown and matt machan to contribute big time

 

[loco61]

rory gets a second!!
289 all out

Sussex 214
Somerset 289
Somerset lead by 75 runs

Tricky session to navigate tonight

RHB figures 1.5 overs 2-5 begs the question why does he not bowl very much these days ? , Wells injured so Nash and Jimmy opening !!

 

[Luke93]

Anyon and Wells keeps Somerset out, 26-0 going into day three. Need to bat at least a day now.

If true, why on earth did we elect to bat !!!

[Cheshire Cat]

But we haven't got a real spinner, just a couple of part-timers and a second team player.

 

[sagaman]

Maggs is brilliant

That's a classic snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The backbone of a jellyfish when it comes down to it. Grrrrr.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Anyon and Wells keeps Somerset out, 26-0 going into day three. Need to bat at least a day now.

More like another four sessions I fear. The absence of an effective second line bowling attack seems to have cost us today, just as a similar fragility in the batting did yesterday.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Opening the innings with a night-watchman, with such negative tactics from the bat flids, were loose.

I know its weird, i can only imagine they felt batting last would be very problomatic
