Sussex V Notts Day 1

[Fourteenth Eye]

Kirtley in for stan

We won the toss & are batting

 

[Uncle Buck]

Sussex: Yardy, Nash, Goodwin, Adams, Hopkinson, Hodd, Martin-Jenkins, Rayner, Beer, Lewry, Kirtley

Nottinghamshire: Jefferson, Shafayat, Wagh, Prince, Wood, Read, Franks, Ealham, Ferley, Pattinson, Shreck

Big risk picking Kirtley, would have picked Aga or Liddle. Good to see Beer getting his chance.

How can you listen to it?

I would agree. I take it stan has an injury.

That said he did seem to actually have decent line & length on monday & was bowling at decent speed. I get the impression that this could be the last chance saloon for Kirtles at the longer format tho

I think he has taken one wicket in 2 seasons in proper cricket.

Huge game this one: the big push starts here.

I think i would have had Gower in for Beer

It is harsh on Hamilton-Gower. However I do think in WAT Beer we have a very good prospect. This is why Mushy sticking around to coach the spinners is so vital.

 

[SeagullRic]

How is everyone following it?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Sporting Life.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Very Harsh on Gower i would say. He has been performing well with both bat & ball & is a great fielder

 

[CHAPPERS]

If you're going to play two spinners then Rayner and Beer are, imo, the two correct choices. RHB has got the variation to make a good one day spinner but I'd rather see two full time spinners in our side. If Beer is going to progress then he should be playing in games like this, hopefully Mushy will be roaming around the boundary giving him advice and encouragement as he bowls.

Ha. BBC Sport Audio says we are playing Northants! Not even in the same league as us.

I can see that.

Also you have Nash who is on fire at the mo

Ssshhhhh.

 

[bardo]

53-0. Great start. The umpires have already changed the ball twice, in the 6th and 13th overs. Now banging the second one into the ground to give it a bit more wear!

 

[bardo]

Third ball nearly lost under the covers but Darren Pattinson has just found it. Sussex now 73-0.

 

[bardo]

Yardy gets his 50. But then Nash out for 28 immediately following. 82-1. Shame - they were going well. Hodd in now, not Goodwin.
