[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Simster]

200 up

 

[Eeyore]

Hughes has signed for another year, hasn't he ? Top player at this level. I hope there are 20 wickets in that pitch. Hold on, they put us in ?

I can't believe that Clark is being given yet another chance ... poor Oli Carter

I'm a bit pissed off this week. I was going to book a couple of days off work to watch this but, for the first time in my working life, a holiday request was refused

Slightly disappointing 37 in the first innings... but that is above his FC average of ~26

THREE Hundred up...

On a good batting pitch against the county equivalent of the Dog and Duck 3rd XI?

37 is just about the same FC average as Carter - I wonder how much he'd have got

Speaking of the batting pitch, this was it at tea just now.

In case it's passed anybody by, this round of matches is being played with the kookaburra ball.

Just flicking through the scores, there's a decent range across the other matches, so not obvious whether it's notably helped batters or any particular type of bowling.

Good day at the cricket.
Won free tickets in a charity raffle at Newhaven CC, chose today to use them.
Sitting in the sun seeing Sussex score nearly 400,we definitely made the right choice to come today.

Derbyshire skipper will have some grumpy teammates to deal with over dinner tonight.

Confused how it can be unfit after 60 overs

May have been a bad pitch to begin with and then deteriorated after the first days play.

Allow me to elaborate as I was there well , after tea anyways. The Glos innings had been eventful but having seen a ball from Singh Dale rear up from a length and hit Keogh's hand the umpires had seen enough. It was the second Northants player retired hurt.

The players walked off, no announcements for 30 minutes...leaving us with the sight of just four of the groundsman staring intently at the hybrid pitch as if that would make things better. We all sat in the sun finished our drinks and went home...

I've been married to cricket for 44 years, but I don't know what a hybrid pitch is ?
