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

[Gwylan]

Jofra returns!

He's in the line-up with Ollie and George Garton (two England probables and one England possible in the attack)

Travis Head makes his home debut but still no salt

Kent have got Sussex traitor Muyeye making his f/c debut, lining up alongside Stevens, who's old enough to be his granddad

Sussex team
Haines
Thomason
Van Zyl
Head
Clark
Brown
Rawlins
Garton
Robinson
Archer
Carson

Clark may have to score some runs in this game - Salt must be back soon and Sussex may want to give Coles or Orr a go before long

EDIT: Sussex have won the toss and are bowling. Should be a bit tasty early on

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

We’re definitely a bit like Albion so far and seem to play really well for half the game. Come on Sussex!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Bowling Jofra.

 

[Mackenzie]

High class opening bowling from Sussex.

 

[Gwylan]

Interesting to see Jof bowling up the hill. I'd have thought he'd have been better from the Cromwell Rd end

EDIT: that was a brute of a ball to get Crawley - what do I know?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Shake of the head from the batsman, did he nick it?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Interesting to see Jof bowling up the hill. I'd have thought he'd have been better from the Cromwell Rd end

Snorter to get rid of Crawley

 

[Change at Barnham]

Kent currently 11/2 after 8 overs.

Jofra struck with the early wicket of Daniel Bell-Drummond.
And then strikes again to dismiss Zac Crawley.

 

[Taybha]

Archer 4 overs 3 maidens 2 wickets for 6 runs

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

On this basis I'd drop Zak Crawley for the NZ tests

 

[Knightsworld]

Kent 68/2 at lunch.

 

[Gwylan]

Robbo strikes - Cox is castled.

Ollie Robinson now bowling to Ollie Robinson

 

[Mackenzie]

Kent 91/6

DI Stevens OUT for a quacker

 

[Mackenzie]

Third wicket for George.

Kent 112/7

 

[wendy's tackle]

Just a reminder for members, you can now book your seat for next week's match against Northants online. Capacity is very limited, so best get on with it if you want to attend,

 

[Jeremiah]

Third wicket for George.

Kent 112/7

I'm predicting a Kent win by 100 - 150 runs

 

[MJsGhost]

142/9

We'll be lucky if we can keep the 1st innings deficit below 100 when our lot have a go shortly. Kent may well be batting again before close.

 

[The Wizard]

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

 

[Eeyore]

Poor show by Sussex. Hopefully they can keep their reply under 100 to bring some continuity.

7-0 Our bestest Kent mate is opening the bowling.

Why does the BBC commentary refer to him without mentioning his middle name?
