[Cricket] ***Sussex CCC v Derbyshire CCC, Div 2 CC, Hove, 19-22 August***

[CHAPPERS]

Even Wells is going at a run a ball. Something must be up.

 

[BensGrandad]

Will we try to achieve a target to set them tonight and declare overnight or bat 1 hour in the morning?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

100 up and both batsmen on 49 in 14 overs

I imagine we want some overs at them tonight, get two goes at them with the quick's and new ball.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wells 50

Salt 50

WOW! Maybe Luke Wells had the Red Bulls at lunch as well as Phil Salt.

Might as well send in Archer next to smash the ball about.

I saw him score 180 between tea and close last year. Safe to say he has it in him....

 

[Mackenzie]

The way these two are going, we’ll probably get an hour at them tonight.

 

[studio150]

Impressive post lunch 146-0 22ov lead 197

Probably an agreed declaration target.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

150 (155) with Salts sixth six I believe (plus 51 lead)

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Probably an agreed declaration target.

Possibly. It isn't declaration bowling though - the only four bowlers they've used, were the four main bowlers in the Sussex first innings.

 

[studio150]

Just the 7 boundary fielders currently

 

[CHAPPERS]

If this isn't decleration bowling I guess putting them in before close would be dangerous.

 

[Krusty]

Philip Salt 102* (87 balls, 9 fours, 5 sixes)

His 2nd first class hundred.

Sussex 179-0, leading by 230 with 40.4 overs remaining on day 3.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Well done Phil - think that's his 2nd 100 - only 21 and doesn't play much CC cricket

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Time for some Tea - Sussex lead Derbyshire by 267 runs with 9 wickets remaining

Another 70 runs and put them in (my opinion)

 

[BensGrandad]

I would declare and leave them 30 mins to bat tonight. 2 wickets could be invaluable more so than 20 extra runs.

Cricket captains are more cautious than us. About 350 runs were scored yesterday, and more on the first day. Thats what they will be guided with. However we have a platform to get close to that and I agree a wicket or 2 tonight could be match winning.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think we have to bat them out of the game, which might mean 2 overs at them tonight. 32 overs left in the day could yield another 180 runs which puts us 450 ish ahead.
