[Cricket] ***Sussex v Kent - match thread***

[Gwylan]

Stevens didn't score so he'll no doubt get a five-fer

No.1 to Darren Bloody Stevens, 24-1

 

[Simster]

We'll be 4 down by the close.

I think we're going to get a first innings lead. I really do.

Which we do most matches, even those we lose badly.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Awful shot from Thomason - out for 21

Let's take the positives - we are two-day game specialists. Now all we need to do is lobby for a "one innings each" league.

51-2 Thomason gives wicket away in proper Sussex style, our Aussie strolls to the wicket...

 

[MJsGhost]

69/2 and only 76 behind.

Travis Head (is it going to be Travo or Heado?) into double figures (10 off 24) and van Zyl chugging along on 19 (off 46)

It's likely to be slow and steady on a chilly, grey day

 

[CHAPPERS]

Head was dropped in the slips off Stevens on 10. Terrible drop too.

 

[Gwylan]

Just come back from getting my jab to see bloody Stevens get another wicket

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Sussex go one up

 

[Argartu]

162/4 at lunch, collapse staved off for now.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

The same story as most of this season by the look of it, our bowling is so much stronger than our batting it’s actually ridiculous

Most of THIS season!?

has been the case EVERY season since Murray Goodwin left.

 

[Mackenzie]

Sussex 205/6

Conditions perfect for swing.

 

[amexer]

Stevens not a bad performer at 45 and has played every game this season. Our 25year olds need resting after a couple of games

 

[Gwylan]

It's pretty much been the case since I've been watching Sussex - and that's 56 years

Indeed. The number of Sussex batsmen who have gone on to play for England in the 40 odd years I've been following Sussex can probably be counted on one hand! In very recent times, you've got Luke Wright (and he was only T20s really) and that's pretty much it.

 

[The Wizard]

So looks like an innings lead of about 100.... what could possibly go wrong based on what we’ve already seen this season?

Nothing will go wrong with this. Archer and Robinson will knock over Kent comfortably (perhaps leaving some scraps for Carson).

Certain victory for Sussex unless Kent get lucky with the rain.
