[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2023 Season Edition

[DJ NOBO]

Great recovery but a little too cautious from Sussex.

James Coles is probably staying out there because he’s scared of facing an angry FHP After running him out again (at least in FHP’s eyes ).

Also , did Scrimshaw have a pop at Coles after Carson was out?

Farbrace said that we need to find a way to win so I guess it is more likely that we will declare sooner in the hope that Derbyshire try to go for the win which might open up the game rather than putting the game out of their reach and them batting for the draw.

 

[Sheebo]

Declare surely…

Declare surely…

Dangling 317 off 67 @ 4.73 they might judge as too risky... but you never know.

Bat until Coles' 150 or out.
I'd go for a lead of something like 330 off 60 overs. At 5.5 per over should be safe but they might have a go and we'll have plenty of overs to get the wickets.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex bat on...

looking for something like 340 off 60 ??

 

[Titanic]

Just the single off the first over... 318 off 64 @ 4.97

 

[Titanic]

James Coles 150* (252 balls, 20 fours)

 

[Titanic]

322 off 62 @ 5.19

 

[Si Gull]

322 off 62 @ 5.19

Two or three more overs then declare or is that the declaration....

Edit....I see it's not!

 

[Titanic]

334 off 61 @ 5.48

 

[Albion Robster]

Just declare boys.
We need wins not draws to get promoted.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex declare 384-9 (90.3 overs)

Derbyshire needs 380 from 58 overs @ 6.55, and Sussex need a wicket every 34 balls.

James Coles 180 (264 balls, 23 fours, 2 sixes)

 

[Si Gull]

Are they holding out for Coles' 200? Ah, it seems not, anymore Nice, selfless acceleration at the end. A couple of quick wickets and we're on our way....

 

[CHAPPERS]

Shame for Coles’ average.

 

[Si Gull]

Shame for Coles’ average.

Yes, he took one for the team but I'd be gutted. 180* looks so much better and a great average boost

 

[Titanic]

One down... 312 balls left to get the remaining 9 wickets.

 

[albionalex]

Carson opening the bowling.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

All this Crawley chat is doing nothing for me.

 

[Titanic]

Two down... good catch at slip


283 balls for 8 wickets.
