[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Kinky Gerbil]

Well we know who and what to thank for that.

Don’t we need just 4 points?

Even better

Let it rain

 

[loz]

The CC is such a shambles with the current fixture set up

Fixtures this late in the year are always going to be rain affected

Thankfully Sussex only need 6 points for the title, but if there was 10 points between 1st and 3rd it shouldn't be down to where there is less rain to who goes up/wins title.

It sort of serves the cricket authorities right that in my view the county championship and loads of games played in it have been so much more exciting than the silly 100 and the one day games that were played by mainly second 11 teams, although Sussex did well in the T20 I can’t say I really watched it.

Although we didn't complain 2006 when the weather that season helped us pip Lancashire to the top gong

Play abandoned for the day.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Now bathed in sunshine!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

If a match is abandoned without a ball being bowled, each side scores eight points.

Take the draw now

I booked a day's annual leave to watch cricket today - I should have known better

 

[jcdenton08]

This is good though, right? I mean, we only need 4 points…

And Yorkshire's off as well. I think we'd probably need fewer than that. Looking around at today's scores, I can't see Yorkshire getting maximum batting points

 

[SurreySeagulls]

Even if there is play over the next few days the wickets are going to be lively with the overcast and damp conditions. So low scores will be the order of the day so batting points will be hard to come by. At most three days play across all Div 2 matches

You Should.

 

[Eeyore]

You Should.

I thought the Grammar Gestapo had been made redundant a few years back and just had the odd AGM in Argus Comments

Grammar Gestapo

another great band name!

CAPITAL 'A' when starting sentences.

Actually, that is a good band name.

Although I agree it is silly to be playing cricket this time of year, surely this logic could be applied to any match where it rained during the season?

Well, yes, September can be a really pleasant month
