Sussex v Yorkshire Hove CC1

[Peter Grummit]

so 400-2 will put us back on terms going into the last match...

(not sure if it's fixtures as haven't read whole thread, but magnificent Bob Fleming action on the radio commentary this morning...)

LOL! My thoughts entirely. HHuuuurrrrmmmmm!! Leesey is a priceless caricature of a commentator. He'll be spluttering about rare birds in Kent again shortly.

Steady start 21-0.

Minimum we need here is 350. Frustrating because Chawla was bowling beautifully at 104-5 yesterday and it only looked a matter of time before he went through them. Brophy sliced one just wide of Lewry when on 0 - would have been 105-6.

the Yorks bastmen have been trying to dig to Australia during their innings, batsmens marks 5 to 6 inches deep

yes - my favourite of his idiosyncrasies is the continued wittering about firstly the follow-on target and then endless different match scenarios based on remaining overs and current scoring rates...

Did you hear the graceless Yorkie going on about pitch inspectors earlier? What a prize muppet!

Come on JOE!!!!

Are we playing for the draw already...

Yardy & Gatting Current partnership 1 runs, 5.3 overs, RR: 0.18

 

[Moshe Gariani]

No sign of the Tufted Puffin in Kent unfortunately but John will be heading for Norfolk at the weekend to view a rarely sighted Reed Warbler...

Joe on a GO SLOW... but having a slog now

Leesy has been replaced by Nasser chez Titanic... Australia won the toss and are batting... Sir Beefy reckons they are heading for 400!

 

[Peter Grummit]

Puffins in Kent gone missing...Warblers in Norfolk at Blakeney Point...

Can't we pension Leesey off to the birdsong channel.

He is totally obsessed with bonus points. The thing that matters John, is WHO WINS THE GAME.

BTW couple of good 4s for Gatts. Spinners generally making things much more difficult than earlier. Jeez the whole 4 day season hangs on this...

4 to Yards as I speak C'MON!!!

98-1.

lucky you - Leesy and "Dave" comparing price of haircuts now inbetween banging on about the need for greater caution everytime Joe or Yards hits a boundary...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Sidebottom opens with 3 wides on the trot. Stupid lumbering long haired TWAT that he is.

 

[Titanic]

Sidebottom starts.. 0wd 0wd 0wd...

Yardy & Gatting Current partnership 1 runs, 5.3 overs, RR: 0.18

116/1 (31 overs)

Current partnership 48 runs, 13.4 overs, RR: 3.51

That's more like it... sadly it won't last

 

[Peter Grummit]

Dare I say it, Gatting playing beautifully. 45 no from 50 balls.

Leesey obsessing on bonus points again. He has at least recognised that we need to win the game.

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Just got back from Scotland, bloody plane delayed (someone put too much fuel in it!) and the monorail was not working so that put paid to the earlier session.

Will probably be my last two live hours this season as I am away again Friday. So I am hoping 1. I do not jinx a collapse and 2. Gatting keeps doing what he is doing for the rest of the afternoon because I like it.

Sussex 128/1 (34.0 ov)

Sussex trail by 275 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Joe Gatting (rhb) 46

oh dear... cue Leesy quoting the follow-on target...

edit: there it is - "from this point they need another 124 runs..."
