Cheating ****s

Right my dear cricketing friends, a question for you before the match starts. Something I thought of and did some research on when I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I think I know the answer.

Who and when....

The last Sussex player to have his wicket taken by another Sussex player in a Test match.

The qualification being that both players MUST have been registered and active in the Sussex team at the time.

Is Imran Khan one of them?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Wessels?

 

[Muzzman]

I'm very much looking forward to this. A beautiful day with beers in the fridge for later.

 

[Titanic]

Ben Stokes has chosen to bat first

 

[Is it PotG?]

Ben wins toss and BATS (obviously).

Here we go....

 

[Pevenseagull]

I have a horrible feeling this innings is going to be an absolute car crash, this Aussie bowling attack is elite

Zak Crawley I’m going for a solid 21 with a number of beautiful strokes, 2 inside edges just past his stumps followed by him nicking off to slip.

I have a horrible feeling this innings is going to be an absolute car crash

Baz ball the equivalent of 'dicking about at the back'?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

This next test could be series-defining...
