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

[Barrel of Fun]

It wasn't the article I was looking for, but I didn't realise that Leicestershire CCC were in such turmoil. They haven't won a first class match for 2.5 years.

At least there is one county to keep us off the bottom...

One good thing is that they are now serving 6 different Sussex Ales this year (for County games). No more crappy Greene King beers. At least you can numb the pain with a few beers.

So they are now running 6 Harvey's pumps ?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

The first session this morning is key now. We must get the best from our top order for a change, as the batting IS weaker than usual (in spite of Machan's ton first time up), and we don't want to leave Worcester chasing less than 275 or so.

The forecast for today is continued cleare skies and sun, but more cloud is forecast tomorrow, so a better day to bowl perhaps.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Wish I'd seen this earlier this morning, would have made an effort to get there for the start.

I've a second members ticket if anyone want's a free day out today; I should be at the ground around 12ish so pm me before 10.45 if interested.

Poor finish by the Sussex bowlers 162 for the last 4 wickets.

Just missing that type of spinner that can remove a tail - although Wells is taking wickets as a part timer, hopefully he can start getting some part time runs today as well

6 Guest ales around the ground including Harvey's (its too soften the money making Heineken deal that will sell shed loads at the 20.20 games)

 

[simmo]

Wells out

 

[8ace]

1/10

 

[Badger]

Cracking start

 

[Gwylan]

Wells will be being picked for his bowling at this rate - he's had a terrible start to the season

 

[jakarta]

Can someone share with me the point of Luke Wells?

Answer came there none.....

Last 4 innings 0, 14, 9 and 4

He got their Cox out yesterday

That isn't the worst suggestion I've ever heard. Perhaps a little stint at 7 until the pitches start drying out might just help him.

 

[Mattywerewolf]

so 0-1 now then

 

[Simster]

Just 43 runs ahead.

But a "victory" of sorts - innings defeat now averted thanks to some plucky bat swinging by our tail (batsmen 2 to 11) to entertain the Hove crowd.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

We seem aright about getting in and seeing of the new ball - its that bit in the middle where players don't kick on after the head work or get out trying to score too quickly.

Lets see if Machan and Joyce can actually build an innings late into the afternoon

Joyce 50

100 up 90 partnership

 

[8ace]

1/100

 

[KZNSeagull]

Joyce 50. Too little too late. 100/1

 

[tinycowboy]

Shocking start to the season. Will the despair EVER end? A declaration might be worth a try - draw a line underneath things a bit, reclaim some dignity?

 

[Titanic]

Joyce 50. Too little too late. 100/1

Quite generous in a two horse race?

The bookies have to go that high with the odds, to try and attract any money on a Sussex win, they know the score
