[Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition

[DJ NOBO]

Alsop clearly knows how to handle himself in T20. He has a half decent record in short form at Hants.
So why hasn’t he been starting? He’s only in today cos Ward failed a fitness test.
Yet another laughable decision.

I was just thinking this.

Ward has offered nothing whereas Alsop at least has some proven pedigree. Bizarre he hasn't been playing!

Just poor judgment. There’s a lot of it about at Sussex.
I can see why they have faith in Ward as he has done well (at a lower level) and can whack it.
But we all just watched Alsop hit it around like a proper T20 expert. He only made it into the team by default.
Alsop should have been in ahead of virtually all of them.
Honestly, you couldn’t make it up.

40 needed off or 2 overs

Surely even Sussex can't lose from here

That was a bit too close for comfort.

Good job the 19th over didn't go for much

Garton needs to practice his death bowling. Miles will have a heavy back carrying this side.

At least you’d assume the management from here will keep Alsop in the side!

They tried very hard though

Not really, with the game won the last ball ‘six’ was virtually gifted

Kent needed 40 to win with 2 overs left and lost by 4 runs.
Even with the gifted 6, Kent were still able to score 30 other runs in 11 balls. (Or were they gifted too?)

No, they weren’t “gifted” [he replied, in a soft gentle tone of voice] however 30 runs in the last two overs of a T20 is hardly excessive and was expected, in my opinion. With about three overs left we just needed to hold our nerve and Bob’s yer uncle that’s what occurred. As a side issue, I would have been happy tying it up earlier however the exciting last over certainly did no harm for the younger/new faces out there.

Let's just agree to disagree.

Alsop with another good innings but then gets out trying to reverse hit. Tried the same shot 4 or 5 times and failed, not sure why he kept trying.

124-2 off 13 is about par at Taunton.

Good game in prospect.

Nice to see what Ward can do! Well batted Sussex indeed, but this chase will be close.

 

[albionalex]

Poor bowling from Sussex so far.

 

[bhafc99]

Well fair play to Sussex - overs 14, 15 and 16 absolutely magnificent T20 cricket.

Just 8 runs conceded, 4 wickets taken in 18 balls.

 

[Mackenzie]

I like McCoy.

 

[Mackenzie]

Great win that, Somerset are a very good team especially at Taunton.

Well done lads
