[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Scappa]

That's four occasions in three matches this T20 campaign where a Sussex bowler has taken two in two without converting to a hat-trick - McAndrew 3 times, Mills once.

Great WIN for Sussex

 

[Eeyore]

So have we got a team that can make the quarter finals this year?

Always a lottery. We made Finals Day in 2021

 

[Eeyore]

Great WIN for Sussex

Disgraceful really.

Still they said it would be close. Only 37 runs in it....

I don't seem to like Surrey much for some reason, do I ?

I didn’t have the commentary on for most of the game but towards the end, the Surrey commentary team were praising the Sussex team and the balance of the attack.

 

[Goldstone Guy]

Well that was pretty good. I didn't realise what a good T20 bowler James Coles is. A bit Yardy-like.

So - dis Pope get a century? Youtube and the BBC showed him as 99 not out.

Edit: The commentators have spotted the discrepancy. Wonder who was right!

So, what do you reckon?

Great win and hilariously looks like Pope did not get his ton.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Smashed Surrey at their place. It's the cricket equivalent of beating Palace at Selhurst. Not even close, despite Ollie Pope getting 99 not out for them.

Solid victory

Makes the victory that little bit sweeter! Apparently the scoreboard at the Oval was showing that he was on 99 before he took that single on the penultimate ball. But the scoreboard was wrong and he was only on 98 at that point, so finished on 99 no. Haha!

No it’s not. It’s like beating City or Chelsea 3-0 away

 

[jcdenton08]

Really good win against Surrey who had won 3 from 3. Big balls in the batting paid off. Mills classy as ever in death bowling. Great game and some cracking cricket from both sides (but mostly us)

 

[GT49er]

So, what do you reckon?

No idea. That's why I asked.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I'd have taken that at kick off.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Aww. Poor Popey. 99 not out. Confirmed on BBC website.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Always a lottery. We made Finals Day in 2021

To an extent. The team last year didn’t look strong enough.

To carry on your analogy, we’ve probably got a few more tickets in the lottery this year, no?

Always a lottery. We made Finals Day in 2021

We had Wright, Bopara, Salt, Jordan, Mills, Wiese (and Rashid Khan but not on finals day).

Pretty strong core on paper.

Sussex website Keeps defaulting to T20 ticket sales. Am I the only one?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Enjoyed the night out at the Oval.
