[Cricket] SUSSEX V WORCESTERSHIRE LV COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP 19-04-15 Hove 11am

[Gwylan]

Great win, but I am sure the inspectors may yet deduct us all our points for playing above our stature. Its just not

Angus Fraser was there today and spent ages at lunch time inspecting the pitch. It will end in tears I tell thee.

There really are some poor pitches around: 21 wickets fell in four days at Cardiff and 27 in four days at Trent Bridge - pitch inspectors should be looking at those. How are pitches like that going to attract people to cricket?

Hove is a real result pitch, the groundstaff do well there

2p fell out of his pocket - he was looking for it

Nice to get home early from the match today with another 22 points on the board and no more worries about the Albion ! Right now it feels good to be a Sussex sports fan ! By tomorrow I'll be worrying about Albion's pre-season, though......

I agree that in a sport where 40 wickets are needed it doesn't bode well to bring in the punters however two things spring to mind; april pitches and poor bowling could also be a factor. As you say Hove is looking like a result pitch and the Martlets look like a team that will make thye most of it.

Can somebody else do the next matchday thread , this is getting boring , nothing to moan about is worse than going shopping on a saturday afternoon .

Nothing to moan about?

Wells can't buy a run, this Mills lad sprays it around and hasn't had a sniff of a wicket in this game, we don't possess a Spinner worthy of the name and Nash and Yardy are both injured...

 

[Everest]

Is it still possible for us to escape relegation?

Thank goodness for the cricket.

Sussex is quickly becoming the centre for fast bowler recuperation. Firstly Chris Jordan resurrects his career with us and then England, next Shazza. I may just apply to have some coaching and see if my career can likewise get a comeback (or start to be brutally honest).

It's a really useful reputation to pick up.

 

[Eeyore]

Next stop is the Riverside. Parody aside, that should be an interesting one.

I guess our match will be dwarfed by the almighty Division Two clash between Surrey and Essex.

... and spinners too. Look at Mushtaq's figures for us. And Panesar did pretty well too for a season or two - it wasn't Sussex's fault that his marriage fell apart

I'm like Shahzad's PASSION.

Flair.

will these wins continue?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Fantastic viewing - Yes Zaidi and Shazads celebrations are great to watch, means a lot to them as adopted Sussex folk

 

[KZNSeagull]

Some excellent lbw decisions in there. Well done the umpires

Indeed, I think the first and last LBW decisions where slightly suspect, although the last one was a lot closer than the batsman was trying to make out*.







*it was still too high and probably missing off stump though
