*** Sussex CCC vs Somerset CCC County Championship 22-25 May at Horsham ***

[Postman Pat]

We are going to get docked so many points for producing a crappy pitch. I think we should do the decent thing and concede now to save further embarrassment.

43-6, If this was an IPL game then I suspect Inspector Knacker would also be on his way to Horsham. Just saying like.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

43-5

Pitch Inspectors on their way to Horsham?

43/6... I think Pigott will be there by now

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Six down for 43 - I though we were playing Somerset, not New Zealand!

The Goff appears to have somewhere he'd rather be or fancies getting himself involved in the Ashes

Wow

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Flat track very slow by all accounts?

[mlg57]

Yes 5 wickets in 14 balls!!!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Don'y worry Butlers double century will put them back on top

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

anyone there who can report on the pitch? The fact that one bowler has 6 means it may be him being damn good as much as the pitch being damned bad.

Also the last two have put on one run, so it can't be that awful a pitch?

[Simster]

Commentators saying good bowling, comparing The Goff to Caddick

 

[tinycowboy]

Seems like Somerset's top 3 had the best of this pitch - we will struggle to get many (if any) of our "batsmen" into double figures.

 

[joeinbrighton]

If the overhead conditions in Horsham are anything like they are in Brighton this morning, that may well account for the fall of wickets this morning. The regular overcast and cool weather has been very beneficial to seam bowlers so far this season.

That is qualla!

Careful - as Sir Geoffrey always says - you can't say if a score is good or bad until both teams have batted (although he probably didn't have 45-7 in mind).
