The OFFICIAL Sussex v Aussies thread (with songs)

[spring hall convert]

Going on Saturday for me bros' b'day! Can't wait, sun, ale, plenty of Aussi piss taking and hopefully a Sussex win; what a touch that would be!

I'd advise you to take a good book, waterproofs & possibly a kayak. The forecast looks abysmal.

Convicts won toss, Sussex now getting tonked about, not a surprise with the likes of Panesar and Liddle bowling....

73-0

Anyone know much about Callum Jackson, keeping for Sussex? Have we got yet another promising young wicketkeeper?

Robbo has obviously been told by ECB to pick some pie chuckers, going from facing Liddle and Hatchett to Anderson and Broad at Old Trafford may be a tad difficult for the Aussie Batsmen....

The Australian team will be at the Amex on Saturday night for the friendly.



Banter.

Nash put down an easy slip catch, Wells got a hand to another.

Run rate tickling along.

Hatchett gets his second, no doubt Hughes felt gorged...... 169-2

Are the T20's not ranked as first class or are they list games?

Are the T20's not ranked as first class or are they list games?

According to the ICC definition, a match is first-class if:
it is of three or more days scheduled duration
each side playing the match has eleven players
each side may have two innings
the match is played on natural, and not artificial, turf
the match is played on an international standard ground
the match conforms to the Laws of Cricket, except for only minor amendments
the sport’s governing body in the appropriate nation, or the ICC itself, recognises the match as first-class.
A Test match is a first-class match played between two ICC full member countries subject to their current status at the ICC and the application of ICC conditions when the match is played.
A peculiarity of the two-innings match is the follow-on rule. If the team that batted second is substantially behind on first innings total, it may be required to bat again (i.e., to immediately follow on from its first innings) in the third innings of the match. In first-class cricket, the follow-on minimum lead requirement depends on match duration. In a Test or other match with five or more days duration, the team batting second can be asked to follow on if 200 or more runs behind. If the match duration is three or four days, the minimum lead is 150 runs.

218-3 at Tea, looks like Panesar has bought a wicket by tossing up some full bungers. Convicts past 400 by close of Play?

There will be a reasonable number of Australians listening to him broadcast, which amuses me.
