Some finish ahead…

2 wickets/19 runs needed as we go into the last over.....

 

[ManOfSussex]

A draw. Well played both sides there, great end to a game.

A draw. Well played both sides there, great end to a game.

What a crap last over. No pressure whatsoever

 

[CHAPPERS]

Nowt in the pitch and the ball is a dud.

A draw. Well played both sides there, great end to a game.

Wow, too close for comfort. Great effort from Derbyshire but we just kept them out.

 

[Barry Izbak]

500 plus runs on the last day

 

[Sheebo]

We don’t have the umph to go up I’m afraid.

What a crap last over. No pressure whatsoever

Bizarre bowling and field placement.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Not sure what people expect? The ball they are using has about 15 overs where’s its useful and then dies. Add that to another flat, slow track at Hove and it’s not exactly going to zip around.

I don't know what that Shipley bouncer was all about.

 

[Si Gull]

I don't know what that Shipley bouncer was all about.

If it was to Scrimshaw it was probably because Scrimshaw was taken out of the Derbyshire attack by the umpire for persistent short pitched bowling.

 

[Trevor]

Excellent day's cricket

Sounds like we won't see Rawlins again.

I have a feeling this decision is something other than a cricket related issue and if I am right, I hope all is okay with Delray.

I have a feeling this decision is something other than a cricket related issue and if I am right, I hope all is okay with Delray.

My thoughts exactly.

Delray was an interesting cricketeer. Scored fast, but rarely went on to produce a match winning contribution with the bat. His bowling was underrated though and was improving. Particularly in the one-day cut during the middle period. Very economical in that format.

When he played in a Sussex side that had Wright, Salt, Evans, Wiese and an overseas batter it was okay for Rawlins to score 25 off 12 and get out, as Sussex could keep going. But when that great team got dismantled Rawlins wasn’t reliable and isn’t the type to carry an innings. As a bowler who can bat though, he does have a future in cricket and I hope he finds a nice fit.

If he immediately finds an English county for next season I won’t be pleased, however.

Even his fortunes mirror the senior side then

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Even his fortunes mirror the senior side then

What do they expect though? If it were in the sea we’d be fantastic!
