[Cricket] Stuttering Sussex v Flatcaps LV County Championship Arundel

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Maybe, just maybe the pitch has something to do with the scoring rates.

There was no pace in it when I was there on Thursday although Goff caused Yorks some problem throughout their innings. However, Yorks showed little intent in scoring at anything more than a pedestrian pace throughout the five sessions+ that they occupied the crease.

Surely the way to avoid defeat in this game is to knock off the deficit first and then shut up shop - not try to bore the opposition and the poor spectators!

 

[Badger]

Nash is out and almost immediately Wells has taken control scoring TWO runs in TWO balls, the FIREWORKS have started.

Sussex 100-1

Lunch on Day 4.

Sussex 102-1 (41 overs) trailing by 52 runs with 9 'wickets' in hand.

LWP Wells 26* (126 balls) RJ H-Brown 16* (18 balls)

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Nash still scored at a faster rate than Lyth, Leaning and Bresnam, and we are supposed to be shutting up shop.
And Pencils has the highest scoring rate of the match, racing along at 88.88 per 100 balls.

Sussex 150-1 (58.2 overs) trailing by 4

Finch chucking pies again.

Wells 45* RH-B 44*

Yorkshire will have to bat again to win this one.... Sussex 154-1

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Yorkshire have given up now - two part timers bowling - should pack up early and give all spectators a refund paid for by Yorshire for their dismal display!

I played at Horsham once. One of those North Sussex wickets with a clay under soil. A real flat-top. Being a bowler, it was always a good time for my back problem to start playing up....

I know it well - "Sorry skip, me hamstring's/knee/shoulder/back (delete as appropriate) playing up a bit, I can give it a go but can't guarantee I'll finish the over."

That's the one. My back problem generally kicked in just north of Ditchling and became unbearable agony once the fixture list reached East Grinstead....
