[Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition

[GT49er]

Sadly Middlesex have avoided the follow on - that would have been fun! (although nobody ever seems to enforce a follow on these days).

Great effort by Currie getting 6 wickets.

 

[GT49er]

Now handing it to them on a plate. Oh dear, it looked quite pronising for a while yesterday.

 

[albionalex]

Need the rain to save us now.

 

[Mackenzie]

Lead by 199 with 2 wickets and 29 overs left. Nearly time to shake hands.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Been following on twitter. The official tweets make me cringe, no emotion whatsoever. Last time I saw was 84-6 ….more or less and the tweet said “ Next batsman in is”
Rubbish. Seriously.

 

[albionalex]

Bit embarrassing that we needed the two trialists to save us the match.

Maybe but It’s encouraging that they recognise the attack isn’t good enough.
Atkins, Crocombe, Hunt and Finn are never going to do it. They should all go. None of the very young bowlers look like taking wickets either, yet.
Bar today, the batting is coming together. A healthy range of young, middling and older players. I bet a few first division clubs wish they’d picked up Pujara and Alsop.

I believe they were playing due to injuries to other players.

We’ve had injuries all season. I know Garton is still unable to bowl for long periods. But I wasn’t aware of any injuries to Crocombe or Hunt and think both were available?

Also, does anyone know if Kravelas counts as an overseas player? I’m aware that Rawlins is able to get away as not counting as one.

'Henry Crocombe and Jamie Atkins are both out due to slight shoulder injuries.'

 

[Cheshire Cat]

After match interview from Salisbury sounded reasonably positive - its a long term project and the kids are getting better (more resilient). Last year we would have lost. This time they have stopped getting thrashed.

Although without Pujara's runs we would be in deep brown stuff.

He’s a Greece international .. there must be a loophole there. Like with Irish or Scottish players, maybe ?

I can’t believe we’d be interested in him as an overseas .

Not sure, he's already scored more runs than Travis Head did

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Pujara out for 231 - great knock that.
I think that he's just three runs short of a 1000 for the season

Then proceeded to get out for TWO in the 2nd innings!

That's setting the bar too high, shirley?

 

[Eeyore]

Leicestershire made 584 in their first innings against Glamorgan and lost by an innings.

I think such records were a discussion earlier in this thread. I suggest this one hasn't been bettered.

 

[Don Tmatter]

After the last match, all of our top 6 had scored more than 600 runs in the championship at an average over 40. That's fantastic. Batting is not the problem! It must be great for our young players to learn from Pujara how to play an innings. We've been unlucky with injuries to the bowlers.

That's three times this season that a team has scored more than 500 and lost - quite incredible run of results

2nd highest batting and 2nd lowest bowling points in the division says it all. Why would any young kid want to be a bowler these days when the wickets are so batter friendly?
