Sussex vs Kent CCC First Game

[Lord Bracknell]

The only hope is that Delray Rawlins turns out to be brilliant and that Luke Wright's irresponsible 20 runs in 13 balls can be kept going for a bit longer than we all think will happen.

And he goes. Wright out for 29 off 19 balls. 97/6.

That may well be true. Archer and Rawlins are Sussex's best prospects for years (and Haines is highly rated too).

 

[Lord Bracknell]

... and Rawlins fizzles out for 22. 125/7.

Against Kent ffs!

 

[whitelion]

Have they saved the follow on?

 

[Gwylan]

Brown's scored 29 in 29 balls now ... are they trying to get this finished early so they can watch the Albion on Monday?

 

[jakarta]

100 runs light, good to see nothing has changed since last season...

 

[Mackenzie]

And we have Jofra Archer, who I'm certain will become a world class bowler.

When I say bowler, I mean all rounder.

 

[Mackenzie]

Fifty partnership for the last wicket.

Sussex 242/9

Brown 67
Archer 34

 

[Postman Pat]

Fifty partnership for the last wicket.

Sussex 242/9

Brown 67
Archer 34

Jofra Archer is looking like a quality player. Expect him to be off to Surrey soon!

Indeed. Humiliation staved off. 250 up and still batting.

A 74 run partnership for the final wicket rather shows up the rest of the batting...

Every silver lining...

 

[jakarta]

As our number 11 gets a Fifty perhaps some of the 'specialist batsmen' should be having a look at themselves?

NB Don't think he will be batting down there too long!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

All out. 291. 13 runs behind.

 

[jakarta]

Single Innings Game then! Would be nice if Philander actually did what he is supposed to do.

 

[knocky1]

Brown and Archer. What a partnership. We've been together since 1984. Last 9 years married.

 

[Luke93]

Can Archer open the batting?

 

[jakarta]

Just noticed off Cricinfro that Darren Stevens has 14000 plus runs - I'll bet 10000 of them are against us

 

[Trigger]

Is Philander injured already?

 

[vegster]

Looks like we are off to a flyer in this first game.
