[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[phoenix]

I never mentioned upping the scoring when Simpson first came to the crease. That’s obviously ludicrous. You’ve either not read the whole post or forgot what happened today.

I’m critical of potentially throwing away a chance to get a better lead, by forcing an acceleration from the 103rd over today. I specifically mentioned 90 overs as an example to start scoring only slightly faster, when Simpson and Clark were well set (for about 30 overs).

It’s like choosing to sit on a bus for 2 hours before a 15 minute blast on a tube to cross London. At 90 overs as an example, a nice smooth taxi could’ve done the whole journey.

We saw a collapse of 4 wickets today for 25 runs. On the 103rd over Sussex had a lead of 170. By choosing to suddenly up the rate puts another collapse at greater risk, for the carrot of another batting point. If the plan was to always go for said point, why leave it so tight? If the plan was to protect the chance of only batting once, why risk that?

Alas, it was clearly timed to perfection and achieved an over before going off for bad light.

It was a struggle to read in all honesty.

What a signing Simpson has been

We’ve finally got a decent old duffer.
In fact two, if you count Hughes.
Not very Sussexy, but I’ll take it

Morning everyone (in Richie voice)

It's a lovely day at Hove with a wicket that is turning. Sussex may look to post a 400 lead and get amongst those Glamorgan wickets straight away. Jack Carson may be feeling the hand of opportunity, although the fast bowlers did well enough in the first innings.

It promises to be a splendid of cricket. Stay with us.

This is brilliant

Quite a few showers in the vicinity of Leicester - hopefully Yorkshire will be held up.

Showers are moving NW to SE

It's a real shame that the overnight lead is just 1 short of 222

 

[CHAPPERS]

Bat for 90 minutes?

 

[Mancgull]

It’s absolutely pelting down up North.

Bat for 90 minutes?

Hopefully Simpson is on the phone to @Luke93 to get some advice, on how to avoid the shambolic tactics they employed yesterday.

I think I'd bat them out the game. My thinking is go for 350-400 lead. Assuming we keep the wickets in tact. It was turning a lot yesterday. Sussex did well.

Glad the wind is lighter today. Watching the stream was making me seasick!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Bugger.


Anyway, well done skipper.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Great knock. What a guy

 

[Mackenzie]

Get on with it Clark

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Get on with it Clark

53 minutes into Day THREE, btw.

Anyway, Clark 103*

I’d like to see a few overs bowling at Glamorgan before lunch, if you’re wondering!

Given we are 464-8 I suspect that might be the case. This wicket is now playing to us

 

[CHAPPERS]

8 down. Time for a thrash

Gloucester battling back against Middlesex

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Is @Luke93 an authority on cricket then?
