[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2023 Season Edition

Shame, if we’d got the tenth wicket for not much more, could we have asked them to follow-on anyway? Not sure what the required score is these days…

Perfectly timed for the follow on. The usual reason (or one of them) these days for not enforcing the follow on os bowler fatigue - knock over the last peg sharpish this morning, and the bowlers are still fresh to tear into them, whillst they have to bat the day out to salvage a draw. Fantastic chance for our second win (weather permitting).

Annoying last wicket stand. Often the way.

Even so, some strange bowling choices. Persevering with crap Hunt today and Coles bowling last over yesterday.

Game gone with the New Ball wasted..

Glawster 247-9

Finally got them out at 248.

Off for light - pathetic...

Going to be a drawer... playing Cricket in April was a good idea wasn't it?

It’s so they can make time for that stupid 100 ball competition, that nobody really is interested in apart from the ECB , who won’t admit it is an unnecessary competition,

Even with £millions spent promoting the 100, claiming sell out crowds (by giving free tickets), playing matches in the middle of summer and having prime time TV, the ECB and Strauss are finally admitting that they’ve wasted everyone’s time and it’s flopped. Hooray

Are they ? That's good news. 100 is an expensive load of self-congratulatory, navel-gazing rubbish.

Why start April 9th then leave a two week gap to the next championship match ? The Sussex v Durham game could have been played a week later for starters. Poor old Pujara must have so many jumpers on he must look like the Michelin Man ?

Because of that stupid 100 ball tournament

Seems a bit mad we'll be dropping our best bowler to fit Smith in.

 

[CHAPPERS]

They've got to be allowed to play Robinson in a couple of the games Smith is involved in, haven't they? Edit: he's playing the next three Sussex fixtures.

Garton is also playing for the second XI today so could be a bowling option. Could be a very strong team, minus McAndrew.

Is Finn injured or just surplus to requirements?
