[Cricket] Sussex v Durham

[Uncle Buck]

Definitely not the pitch this one. Was a bit of swing last night.

Batsmen do not seem to be capable of playing themselves in, too much one day mode stuff there.

Imagine if there was a proper batting coach to teach them these things...

100 up






Joyce out

 

[Mackenzie]

105\6

were loose

 

[vegster]

We are the new Leicestershire !

 

[Gwylan]

126-7

So, we're still waiting for a century from one of our five senior batsmen. Shocking

I think they are better than us...

I am listening to you Buckie. Trouble is these threads were funny when we had some spirit and the side were capable. There seems limited opportunity to offer comment for debate now.

My point entirely, we have stolen their Joke Team epiphet.

The batting really is a disgrace........

I've not seen all of Robbo's interviews recently, but I'm assuming he's very concerned and is determined to do something about it? It's not like we've got an key batsmen out injured after all.

Yehthey are missing prior and Robinson keeps coming out with the same excuses and blaming the pitch

Prior was never a regular for Sussex anyway - sounds like he's in denial.

Our woeful batting stats are INCREDIBLE. If you combine Nash, Joyce, Yardy, Wells and Cachopa's season this is what you get:

Matches: 31
Innings: 58
Not out: 0
Runs: 1,141
Highest: 92
Average: 19.67
100: 0
50: 5

For anyone that's interested, the batting stats for the 5 bowlers with the most overs (Shahzad, Robinson, Magoffin, Hobden and Jordan) are as follows:

Matches: 27
Innings: 52
Not out: 14
Runs: 705
Highest: 110
Average: 18.55
100: 1
50: 2

 

[The Wizard]

Absolute batflids. We've been left behind batting wise by the competition.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Heres an idea, lets get two bowlers in on loan

Surprised the average is that high to be honest.

The problem is that at least four of these five (plus Wright, who's not much better) are pretty much guaranteed to play every game. So they know they're not going to lose their place and, equally, don't have much opportunity to get back their form in the Seconds. Yes, we need a batting coach but the decision not to get another batsman in the winter looks bonkers

 

[Surf's Up]

Over the last couple of years our season seems to have picked up a bit during and after Horsham. Can't see it this year though. Our batters weaknesses are clearly common knowledge for all Div 1 bowling attacks and our batting coaching department (if such a thing exists) are clearly clueless regarding the adjustments the individual players need to make to stop getting out. The only saving grace this season may be that there could be two teams worse than us (perm one from Worcs., Somerset or Hants), bit like the Albion last season. Although now Hants have got Bird and Edwards playing for them, and based on their recent demolition of us at Hove, they are probably going to be ok.

I'm hoping that when the Goff turns English, we get a batsman in. I know Uncle B thinks that Sussex will get a spinner but another batter would be great
