[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2023 Season Edition

[Berty23]

Wow! I was paying no attention at all to the individuals involved in this case and care nothing about Overton.

My point is a philosophical/ethical one about living and dying by the same sword. Those fielders dancing and whooping around in a deceitful attempt to get a wrong decision from the umpire cannot possibly complain when something similar inevitably goes against them.

There are decisions in cricket where the game would be better at all levels if players - who usually know best what has happened - still helped umpires to get to the right decision (e.g. bump balls, close to ground catches, thin edges, boundary rope transgressions, etc).

Sorry. I misread it.

A post-lunch CLATTER

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 147-4 (37.3 overs), leading by 85

4-4 that is more than a CLATTER, it's a ROUT

Oli Carter lbw b Finch 0 (4b 0x4 0x6 8m) SR: 0

4-4 is impressive even for us

[albionalex]

Should be a good batting wicket today, no excuse for our usual 2nd innings collapse.

Right on cue

 

[fly high]

Right on cue

Sorry about that, I spoke too soon. What is it about 2nd innings, we either bat crap or bowl crap.

238/5 at tea

 

[Jeremiah]

351/6 - proving my earlier disparaging post about Sussex's prospects in this game, wrong .

A possible win ?

 

[Eeyore]

There's something of the village cricketer about Joe Leach when he runs in to bowl.

I wouldn't want to face him though.

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Why do they employ commentators who don't understand the laws of the game?

 

[albionalex]

Glad to see Alsop back in the runs.

359-6 Carson just hit a SIX...

 

[albionalex]

359-6 at close of play. A great recovery after the middle order collapse.

Lead of 297, will we be aggressive with a declaration?

Unlikely to get a positive result on day four, expect a bore draw unless there is a sudden clatter of wickets.

I don't think we'll want to throw it away after battling so hard. I expect we'll bat on for an hour, then Shipley and Carson can bowl them out.

He doesn't look very athletic but he was excellent on day 1
