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

[Moshe Gariani]

6 down.

More hilarious commentary. I assume they haven't got a very good view but that ball has jagged back, stayed down and hit Wiese on the shin.

So easy with hindsight to say that if Sussex had put Leic back in they'd have wrapped it up today but they might not have done.

When this game is comfortably won at some stage tomorrow all of this blustering will be consigned to the place it already belongs.

Blimey not making them follow on seems inconceivable , I would love to know the official reasoning behind that decision.

Could be a light issue.

Are we off for bad light

 

[Moshe Gariani]

And now Jordan gets 4 having been hit on the glove by a ball from Leic journeyman seamer that spat from only just short of a good length...

Sussex saying they think the pitch will deteriorate even more, and did not want to bat last

Makes perfect sense.

Could be a light issue.

Except that bad light is now no longer offered to the batting team...it is the umpires' decision on safety grounds alone. I think it is more likely that Archer and Robinson had bowled fairly long initial spells and then both had to be brought back on to finish off the innings.

Already got more runs than Leicester can chase, especially given MG's cogent comments on what is really going on out there.

brightening up now

Senior batsman. 7,500 FC runs. Averages 38.

What are you smoking?

Averaging 22 this year - only Archer, Robinson and Briggs averaging less...not what you’d expect from your senior batsman in a season where we’ve struggled for runs at times....
If you’re offering i’ll have a Havana please

 

[DJ NOBO]

Makes perfect sense.

Not really. They wouldn't have needed to bat again

 

[LamieRobertson]

forecast for tomorrow is naff.....so relying on Fridays weather being ok and a day to bowl them out

It's the brightest it has been all day in BN3

I looked at the Met Office site

Edit ..would help if one looked at Hove and not Leicester

 

[BensGrandad]

how much longer will Sussex stay in bat for, I would suggest .throw the bat and declare or be all out doesnt really matter at about 12 noon tomorrow.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Apropos of nothing, at a time when the England test side is crying out for batsmen I see wickets are tumbling cheaply around the country and those that have posted scores are discards like Ballance, Trott, Duckett, Malan.

We can't even seem to throw up a flat track bully a la Hick or Ramprakash.

 

[BensGrandad]

Isnt Ramprakash one of Englands batting coaches.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Who do people think should take the place of Luke Wright during our promotion run-in...?
