[Cricket] ***Sussex CCC v Leicestershire CCC, LVCC Div2, Hove, 4-7 September 2018,10.30 KO's***

Seems pretty obvious that it's hard to stay in on this wicket, but easy to accumulate.

Classic case of being dead easy to smash sixes all over the park, but very hard to play.

This. One of those pitches where it is easy to hit boundaries, but hard to push singles.

Seems you misunderstand.
There's a very big difference between simply trying to stay around. You'll get a bad bounce or one that sticks in the pitch and you'll be gone.
Whereas, take the attack to the bowlers and it's actually a wicket you can accumulate quickly on.

Would be good for 20/20.

Sussex will need to bear that in mind when we come in again to clear the deficit

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Yep, Parky and Abbas have top scores of 74 and 40 respectively. I expect them to challenge that today.

Excellent prediction. Who will get to their PB first...?

 

[TSB]

Finally done.

240 lead.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Briggs to Parkinson, OUT,
CF Parkinson c Archer b Briggs 48

133 a/o

So, who would enforce the follow on, and who wouldn't?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Breaking news.

Angry scenes in the pavilion. Sussex players queuing up for their tea but Cosgrove has taken all the sausage rolls and pizza slices.

 

[Frankie]

240 lead , Follow on 100% .

 

[Mackenzie]

Stick ‘em back in.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

240 lead , Follow on 100% .

As would I - with less settled weather forecast you don't want to risk rain / bad light later in the match scuppering things.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Early tea taken with no play as yet today at Canterbury. Weather looks set fair for tomorrow and Friday unfortunately, but distinctly iffy for the remainder of today.

Nope.....

News from the dressing room where we have decided not to enforce the follow on #gosbts

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Sussex bat again.

Surprised but assume it is the right call.

Obviously don't want to risk having to bat last but not 100% clear why. Could be to do with pitch.

Good job Rob Key's not commentating ..

Away from Sussex, I see that Somerset are 29-5 chasing 78, that's just bonkers.

I wish he was. The internet radio goons are rubbish. Bring back Adrian Harms...

Can't need more than 100 runs shirley - maybe 150 if you are conservative. Whatever the score is declare 30 minutes before the end and get Archer & Robinson at them.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Yes. Several very low scores in this round of matches.
