[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Gwylan]

Why is Robinson not in squad for next game against Leicester

Because the agreement with the ECB is that he can play 5 out of the first 7 games, so he has to drop out of two

Madness and they wonder why less interest in County cricket

After wining the toss, it would be nice to take a couple of more wickets before the lunch break.

Rishi OUT!

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Rishi OUT!

Very good - Most of us have been saying that for ages!

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Going better than Durham at Edgbaston. After choosing to field, they currently have Warwickshire 224/0 off 41 overs. Both openers having now reached 100.

Not just both got 100. Almost beautiful symmetry, too...

Yates not out 119 136 balls 17x4, 1x6 192 mins 87.50
Davies not out 117 137 balls 17x4, 1x6 192 mins 85.40

Not sure that dropping Carter is the right move, surely has some credit in the bank after how well he played last season.

Handscomb b. Carson 51, trying to hit the ball into Nottinghamshire.

206/5

When I checked the score again just now, they were on 191 and 192 respectively (Yates was dismissed a while ago, must have sped up a bit). Durham have conceded 415 for their single wicket.

More generally, there seem to be a reasonable number of overs bowled by spinners considering the time of year, which is nice to see. Somerset have even actually picked Bashir this week. Lancashire haven't picked Hartely, I assume they think their overseas journeyman can get them through.

He's suffering a bad attack of the rampaging Pujaras.

Leics 338 ao

Finn Hudson Prentice mops up the tail for career best figures of 5/50

 

[Scappa]

Lunch - 98/1

Clark 0(1) ct Currie b Salisbury
Haines 51(67)*
Alsop 31(89)*

 

[fly high]

Hope I don't put a jinx on it, Haines going well.

 

[Scappa]

172/2

103(128)* Haines
49(151) Alsop b Salisbury
0* Pujara

That's centuries in consecutive innings for Haines, 11th of his career

 

[Jeremiah]

We finish 282-6 trailing by 54 runs. It's going to be close.

 

[MJsGhost]

360/6, a lead of 22.

A very useful 72 partnership so far (Lamb and Simpson), which could swing the match.

 

[A1X]

I don’t get it, who are all these people scoring runs and not called Pujara?

 

[Eeyore]

I don’t get it, who are all these people scoring runs and not called Pujara?

I am most bewildered by this. This is poor form from Sussex. This was not the start to the season I was expecting from them.
