[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Change at Barnham]

An enjoyable day one with Sussex looking decent and Danny Lamb looking like the pick of our bowlers. Seales with running in hard and showed how much it meant to him when he took took his first wicket of Charlesworth.
Disappointingly Ollie Robinson seems to have lost a bit of oomph and never really looked liked an England fast bowler.

As mentioned by Scappa above, if Clark and Coles had both caught straightforward catches in the slips then Sussex would have been in a much better position. But that is the beauty of this wonderful game.
Let's hope we can compile a decent lead today.

[Sid and the Sharknados]

50 for Clark.

Looking around the scorecards, I do get the impression that there have been fewer overs bowled by spinners this round (albeit we're only a day and a bit into the games). A nod to Dawson for taking 5 wickets in the first innings against Warwickshre at the Rose Bowl.

Clark always looks unconvincing. It is all he can manage, not to get out.
He is the ninth-best batsman in the team imo.

Doesn't seem to line himself up correctly, especially when bowler is going round the wicket. Ends up playing across the line. But 50 is a useful contribution.

They probably keep the faith with him because he can hit a sweet boundary. Trouble is, he finds it so difficult not to give his wicket away. Like you say, a useful contribution today but he rode his luck to say the least. He was nearly out a dozen times .

OT, Good win for Lincoln today , Lincolnshire Seagull. Not much good for my second team though! (Oxford United)

[CHAPPERS]

Looking good here…

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Superb day for our chaps today. Weather forecast good for tomorrow so hopefully we can knock their last 4 cheaply and wrap up a great win.

Come on Sussex... 4 wickets and a modest run chase... wrap it up before the drizzle arrives

 

[Titanic]

No wickets yet this morning... 116-6, lead 54.

Lamb into the attack after Hammond has a go at Coles.

RR is about 2... with 82 overs remaining... no need to panic yet, but we don't want this to get much more difficult than 160 from 40.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Not a lot happening ATM.

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

nervous now...

 

[Simster]

May as well shake hands on the draw here. :-(

 

[Titanic]

Lead 70, 72 over remaining...

FHP tasked with bowling with what like like a tennis ball.

 

[CHAPPERS]

New ball in 12 overs. Still confident

The drizzle could be the one thing that stops us snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory!

Carson strikes after lunch!

Miles Hammond lbw b Carson 77 (204b 7x4 1x6 283m) SR: 37.74

166-7, lead 104

Interesting decision.
