[Cricket] Sussex vs Northants, LVCC Div 2, Northampton - 20-23 May

[jakarta]

Chris Jordan has surpassed his previous highest first class score of 147, while Ben Brown needs another 11 to beat his current best of 163

Were still loose.

I believe this has to be stated at the close of play no matter what the score...

You just know that after all this talk of records, we're going to lose four wickets for a couple of runs this morning

You mean the Sussex standard

Great to hear Jofra has been selected for the World Cup squad this morning

Yes - brilliant achievement by him and we can all be very proud of our Sussex lad. Hopefully he will be part of the winning team.

oh well

merely extraordinary it is then

Reading about the Sussex record this morning. Apparently, Billy Newham was only a part-time player by then - he was 41 - and was Sussex secretary. Ranji insisted that he played and the pair of them put on that total. It stood as a world record for more than 50 years.

Imagine cajoling a bit-time player to turn out: it would be a bit like getting Tony Cottey to put his pads on again

 

[Pevenseagull]

400 from 107 overs




... I assume they haven't changed the points again?

No changes. Standard maximum batting points for Sussex.

CJ 166.

I bet when Northants had us at 68-6 they didn't think for a second that they'd end up with just the two bonus points (while we got the full 5)

When is our top order going to stop being so utterly shite though?

 

[Gwylan]

Anyone know why Northants have got 12 players (according to the BBC)? I see that 11 have already been involved in the game - the only one who hasn't been mentioned is the captain, Wakely. Anyone know why?

When we start playing T20s

Rumours in the ground that “things went on yesterday”
Radio said he’s in hospital with concussion after an accident at home
Make of all that what you will
Good man is Wakers

Knocked himself out on a low beam at home. That's the story, anyway.

I see his stand-in is doing pretty well

 

[jakarta]

Northants 164-3, 587 runs scored so far, doesn't sound like a result pitch does it?

Well played.

Northants 187/5
