[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Berty23]

I can’t believe that slower ball got him. The ball was in his hand for a slower ball a long time before delivery stride. Poor bloke will be gutted.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Was not expecting that kind of finish. Incredible performance from Kimber.

 

[Giraffe]

Never in doubt.

Feel sorry for Kimber, what a knock.

Played on, too. And off his boot? We needed all the help we could get! 21 6s in that innings, most ever in a county championship game.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I will be glad when this county championship rubbish is binned off again until september and I can enjoy the Hundred.

 

[Si Gull]

Leicestershire scored 483 in the 4th innings at Hove last year, losing by 15 runs. History repeating itself....apart from Kimber's incredible knock, obvs.

 

[Da Man Clay]

What a game. Wasn’t expecting that when I rocked up at 11:05 and we’d just taken the 6th wicket for 175

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Even as someone who doesn't care for cricket, I had that on at work most of the day. Incredible innings.

 

[Eeyore]

Never in doubt.

My little Sussex flag is gently waving in the breeze from the window.

As a Sussex fan its very easy to be critical of the bowling and fielding, but that was a phenomenal effort from Kimber - an innings for the ages.

100%. When you're in the zone, you're in. the. zone...
If they'd won, you'd just have to hold your hands up to a special performance like that.

Totally agree and let’s hope the ECB approve the new T10 league too, way more interesting than this four day rubbish

Or the T1. I think most of the white ball crowds could concentrate for three minutes. Just.

1 over you say , they’ll spend at least two plus the innings break waiting for their shit hot dog to be cooked

'The Toss' surely?

Play Blur 'Song 2' at ear bleeding loud volume, let off fireworks. Mascots for each team (both bags of crisps) come out. Toss the coin, let off a load more fireworks. Play 'Sweet Caroline' at ear bleeding volume. Job done.

Appeals to people who don't really like cricket and that's the point.

Don't forget that random trumpet sound where a few kids let out a cheer and adults feel the need to let out a muffled hurrah. The apathy can be smelt through the TV screen on a regular basis. The announcer taking consolation that at least two nine year olds are jumping like deranged monkeys in front of the box.

And Kevin Pietersen announcing, 'This is the most incredible atmosphere I have ever experienced at a cricket match'.

 

[amexer]

Glad I went this afternoon. Added to many great many great batting and bowling performances over the years in Championship games. Could not quote anything from 20/20 games

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I think we may have got away with that one somehow.

But there was some abysmal bowling feeding Kimber - medium pace long hops that got exactly what they deserved
