[Cricket] *** Specsavers County Championship Division 2 Sussex vs. Gloucestershire at Hove***

[ManOfSussex]

We got one. Dent, b Robinson for 14. The cider drinkers are 27/1.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

53 runs for 10 wickets is mightily impressive even by Sussex’s standards. What a flat start to the season so far.

 

[Notters]

Still no rain in Newhaven or Eastbourne. Did it get lost?!

 

[jakarta]

20 wickets in the day, what a good idea by the ECB to have County Games in April...

 

[Mackenzie]

Sussex 13 ahead with 8 wickets left.

Game on.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Unbelivable - I saw Fridays morning session where we looked like we would kick on - travel overnight and today to arrive and see this crazy game.

Will the pitch inspectors come calling and deduct us points.

Will the pitch get worse for batting in the last innings.

 

[knocky1]

We're going to have to put in a lot of effort to lose this just after tea. Otherwise the rain will sweep in and the opportunity will end in a draw.

 

[studio150]

51-2

Off for bad light 11.25

 

[BensGrandad]

now 81 -4 just 43 ahead

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Sussex lead by 61 runs with 6 wickets remaining

I hope we can hang on for the rain to wash this away. Would not fancy us getting a target here.

I am away - whats the weather like in Hove.

 

[BensGrandad]

We need rain now and then to last for 24 hours.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Just looking at the forecast for Hove and there doesn't appear to be any rain today - https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/gcpchhy5p#?date=2018-04-29

Washout tomorrow if we can hold on until then.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Anyone watching the live stream. I am in France and it is still on the 15th over (so we are doing better at 51 for 2 still), rebooted, re freshed, different browers and no joy.

It's not cricket weather.

Not raining though

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I am at the dismisal of Ben Brown on the live stream, been a bit distrated but where the comentators indicating that Matt Taylor got a yellow card, for him shouting at him when he dismissed him.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Burgess gone. Old school terrible Sussex.

 

[BensGrandad]

136 =6 now

 

[GT49er]

The middle order seem to be trying to slog their way out of trouble, twenty20 style. Brown 16 of 15 balls and out, Burgess 17 off 11 balls and out. Bad idea............

Could be all over by tea..........

 

[tigertim68]

Another great innings by Wright
