[Cricket] Sussex v Surrey T20 Blast Bobbins today 1430hrs

[Is it PotG?]

After suffering their first defeat of the competition against Gloucestershire on Friday night, the Sharks go into the match against the South Londoners in fourth place in the South Group.

Luke Wright’s men have nine points from seven matches, one fewer than Surrey (eight matches) and three behind Kent Spitfires (eight) and leaders Gloucestershire (nine).

There is one change to the Sharks squad for Sunday’s match, with Chris Jordan returning from international duty and replacing George Garton who joins up with the England squad for their ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Sharks win toss and bowl vs quite a strong opposition line-up!

 

[DJ NOBO]

Lenham OUT

Slurry off to a decent start. 18 off the first two overs. Possibly with one eye on the weather.

We need to get back into the groove, after all those NRs and the defeat the other night.

Il pleut.

Drizzle in Sackville Road , just about too much, not a lot of wind, may be here a while. BUGGER

 

[vegster]

The BBC website seems to think I'm interested in the Womens Cricket.

Which I'm not...

 

[Is it PotG?]

No overs lost at present.

Boy do we need some rain

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Boy do we need some rain

How are we doing on the DL if they don't come back on?

 

[bhafc99]

Joke.

They come off ONE BALL short of a result. One fvcking ball.

At 4.5 overs. With Sussex in a winning position if it reaches 5 overs.

Yes it’s raining, and people were getting hit, but all you have to do is chuck ONE BLOODY ball down, and the game has a result. Now we’re looking at NR unless the rain clears.

Bloody hell, that's madness

Bloody hell, that's madness

Its almost cheating .Well we all know what would have happened the other way around don't we!

 

[Don Tmatter]

With forecast for Tuesday looking a washout again are we in danger of not qualifying?

 

[TugWilson]

Its almost cheating .Well we all know what would have happened the other way around don't we!

It is cheating , they played at least one more ball after Luke got hit , if it was about the two hits to Salt and Wright they would have stopped right away not continue until 4.5 overs . Cheating gits .

If that ball had been a wicket, would it change the result?

 

[bhafc99]

It’s now saying No Result on Cricinfo. Is that confirmed? If so, that’s outrageous.

That's pretty much what I thought. If they had stopped immediately for safety, then fair enough - but playing on for one ball with no radical change in conditions and then stopping is very puzzling.
