[Cricket] ***Sussex v Kent (4-dayer ... or more probable 3) ****

[Simster]

5/239

As comfortable as expected so far for the Kent batting maestros this morning.

Darren Bloody Stevens, why can't the old Wombat Features just retire?

Lunch couldn't come quick enough for Kent, they're totally on the ropes here.

Expect us to rattle through, ooh, another two wickets in the next session, at least, leaving Kent a feeble 300-odd ahead by tea.

314-6 Stevens gone for 7.9 millon

 

[Taybha]

it's a avalanche 358-7

I'm looking forward to Sussex's traditional BIG second innings score, when no bonus points are available.

Tea, Day Two (yes Day TWO)

Kent 441-7 (117 overs), leading by 261 with three 1st innings wickets remaining.

The Awards evening might be interesting this year. Perhaps not as Chris Nash and a couple of others have had good summers.

 

[CHAPPERS]

They should really declare, they could be home by 9pm done and dusted.

 

[jakarta]

Writing must be on the wall for the current Management, but to be fair what have they had to work with?

We have been a 2 player team for the past few years (Joyce and Magoffin) when everyone else has fielded 11.

 

[Simster]

Kent have LIMPED to 479/8, just the 299 first innings runs ahead.

Nash has done his bit.

 

[ManOfSussex]

300+ lead now building. This is depressing to see.

 

[jakarta]

Only question is will they declare after Gidmans Century or Kent getting past 500?

EDIT I love the contempt that Gidman has for the bowling, he gets a single at the start of the over and then sees if Sussex can get out the Kent No.11 (Clue: they can't)

 

[Badger]

Kent have got the DAUNTING prospect of batting the FOURTH innings on this pitch.

[Taybha]

Ouch Gidman stranded on 99 496 all out

 

[Titanic]

Kent 496 all out (132.5 overs)

Will Gidman 99*

Steve Magoffin 34.5 - 6 - 88 - 5

Leading by just 316 on 1st innings.

Oops they finally did, Gidman is a silly boy, stranded on 99 not out.
