[Cricket] Worcs v Sussex 01-09-15 New Road 10.30 start

[Titanic]

9 down

Maximum bowling points

 

[Papa Lazarou]

If we do get relegated our inability to continually turn a promising 100-170 for 7 into 200 all out all season will be a large part of this.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

No play today at Edgbaston (30 miles from New Road...)

 

[Titanic]

And now it's raining at New Road too... they are off with Worcs 185-9 (70 overs)

​

 

[Titanic]

That looks like it for the day

Not looking good...

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Not looking good...

Flippin' 'eck... I've seen plenty of pictures of New Road flooded but not during a game.

I can't see how, with normal cricket ground equipment, they possibly keep water from completely ruining the pitch if the ground floods (which it looks like it has) ....?

Google could be my friend here...

 

[Phil B]

Actually, that is very little water at New Road. River is right next to ground but it does drain really well.

Obviously if it buckets down all day .......

 

[vegster]

Could have and should have had Worcs all out for 150, the runs scored by the last 3 wickets could cost us dear.

 

[Mackenzie]

I was im Malvern earlier today, some of the downpours were 'biblical'......not surprised New Road has a couple of puddles on it!

 

[Titanic]

Quite remarkably... they have resumed play at 10:30 this morning

189-9 (73 overs)

 

[Titanic]

Worcs 200-9 (75.4 overs), and secure a batting bonus point, with Gidman 50* (104 balls, 6 fours)

 

[Titanic]

At last... 210 all out (80 overs... final delivery with the old ball)

Five wickets for Chris Jordan, one each for Magoffin, Robinson, Liddle, Zaidi and Wells.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Most important innings of the season so far coming up.....

 

[Simster]

Most important innings of the season so far coming up.....

132 all out.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Too many runs for us, just hoping we can score a few more runs to avoid an embarrassing follow on, Wells just dropped

 

[KZNSeagull]

Wells dropped at first slip. 9-0

 

[Simster]

132 all out.

Revised to 144 all out after that Wells drop. He'll go on to capitalise and possibly make nearly 17.

 

[Titanic]

Blimey the cricket must be dull... they have been whittering on about fax machines for the last 5 minutes

21-0 (9 overs)

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

sounds like a fantastic catch but whats Yardy doing going all 20 20
