[Cricket] Specsavers County Championship Division Two, Worcestershire v Sussex at Worcester

[Pavilionaire]

and at the moment he is very much ONE OF OUR OWN!

61* and leading Sussex to safety...

Wells faced 110 balls, Machan only half that number.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I think you're missing the point, it's called The Andy Murray Principle - he's SCOTCH when he gets it wrong, NON-SCOTCH when he gets it right

Under that theory he has been Scottish for most of his Sussex career.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Wells stonewalling innings has truly demoralised the opposition bowlers. To use a condiment analogy, we were playing KETCHUP and he has taken away their WORCESTER SAUCE.

 

[Titanic]

52 partnership for two of Sussex's finest, Matt Machan 63* and Harry Finch 18*

Sussex 283-5(f/o), leading by 70

Young Finch has copped a bout of Machanitis and biffed his second boundary. It'll end in tears...

 

[Titanic]

Machan gone for 66.

Caught behind by Cox.

286-6, leading by just 73, 53.2 overs remaining

 

[Eeyore]

Machin out.

Listening to the commentary. Quite entertaining.

 

[Titanic]

Cometh the hour... cometh the man (well Captain Ben Brown anyway)

Finch has taken a nasty knock on the ankle from a wayward throw... and has been hopping around... and now has his boot off and is taking painkillers.

The lad Machan needs to take a long, hard look at himself. He's playing for Sussex, not the Delhi Daredevils, when he bats he's like Eamonn Holmes with a sweet trolley.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 294-6(f/o) lead by 81 with 4 wickets in hand... 48 overs remaining.

Rain due in 9 minutes according to the BBC Weather site.

Rain due in 9 minutes according to the BBC Weather site.

Ironic isn't it 81/6 is about the strongest position we've been in all season.

 

[Eeyore]

That's more like it

You saved m two entries there. So I'll do one congratulatory one.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 302-6(f/o) (115.4 overs)

Leading by 89 with 4 wickets in hand and 45.2 overs remaining in the day.

Apparently the weather is 'improving all the time'

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Apparently the weather is 'improving all the time'

Don't forget we used Hatch as a nightwatchman so will bat a bit deeper than normal.

Nip and tuck. Was a bad toss to lose.

 

[Titanic]

Worcs resort to the twirling Kervezee... Finch edges him to third man... and Sussex now lead by 100

Three FOURS in the last 5 balls
