Sussex v Leicestershire SPECSAVERS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP Div 2 11:00 , Arundel

[Petee]

Piss poor

 

[Pavilionaire]

I mean, did you really need to say that when he was trying to dig us out of a hole??

Gone for 20. 248/8.

Schoolboy error

 

[Gwylan]

250 up and balls turning sideways apparently

And yet no spinner took a wicket

 

[Luke93]

What happened? Good bowling, poor batting or luck? Looks like a perfect batting day!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Looks like a perfect batting day!

Certainly looking that way now, as the Foxes POWER their way to 12 without loss, in just 5 overs.

 

[Postman Pat]

Ackerman c Brown b Archer - 40

104-3

 

[Pevenseagull]

Briggs 18 overs 26 runs 1 wicket.
That bodes well for the afternoon.

 

[Badger]

A couple of wickets has made things interesting.

193/6

Obviously were loose though.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

2 wickets in 3 balls from Jordan.

230/8 still 32 behind

 

[Badger]

281ao

A COMMANDING lead of 19 runs for Leics after the first innings

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well that could have been a lot worse.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I'm happy with 281ao as they'll have to bat last on this pitch. Over to our batflids now...

 

[vegster]

Going to need a biblical effort from Sussex to claw back those 19 runs.

 

[Gwylan]

I'm happy with 281ao as they'll have to bat last on this pitch.

Yeah, but 130 is not going to be a challenging total

 

[Pevenseagull]

And they'll have to bat again.
Marvellous scenes

 

[Surf's Up]

Was there yesterday - funny old pitch!

 

[jakarta]

Nash seems seriously out of form.

Will try getting to Arundel today, haven't played/watched any cricket this year so need to pull my finger out!

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Was there yesterday, pitch looked dry but no obvious reason for so few runs in 2 days. Think you can just attribute it to poor batting to be honest.

Is it that few? More than 300 runs a day at over 3 runs an over? It's not a batting paradise but that's just about par for the Championship.

What's more interesting is that no-one has passed 50 yet ... even though nearly all have reached double figures. That's very unusual to see.

Well below par on a (relatively) small pitch, no?
