[Cricket] Sussex v Essex, Bob Willis Trophy, August 15-18, Hove

[DJ NOBO]

Okay, Essex may be Division One champions but I think we can all agree this will be a routine win for Gillespie’s Unbeatables.

Thought it might be worth a thread anyway.

Starter for 10.
Would it be a backwards step to recall Luke Wells?

Don't know about Wells but we should be thinking about playing an extra bowler and leaving the top 5 to score the runs.

Given the weather forecast we'll need to bowl them out twice in quick time.

 

[Scappa]

Meanwhile, Hants and Surrey are due to pitch battle on our territory - due to the Test match taking place at the toilet bowl, Hants will be hosting at Arundel this week

Our bowlers score more runs than our batters anyway.

Who are we farming Laurie Evans out to this week instead of playing him ourselves?

 

[Postman Pat]

I thought Bopara was signed for all forms of cricket?

Can't believe Wells hasn't been bought back after the debacle in the last game.

Dizzy fancies a couple of extra days on the golf course

Given the competition format, the youngsters are being given a chance.

More to the point, why is this slated as a 4 day game ?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Based on the last game, we will field first and they will be 1000 for no wicket at the close of day 2, after which we will be bowled out for 23 and 37.

Were loose.

Gillespie thinks so

Surrey again

Given the weather forecast not much chance of a result one way or the other?

Don’t bet on it. Sussex are quite capable of losing, whatever the circumstances!!

Just give us a couple of bats, a ball and a few hours and anything’s possible
