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

[Moshe Gariani]

Realistically, the draw is our only hope.

This. Until there is a root and branch clear out of the staff at Hove we can forget about any sort of success. No proper batting coach for the past ten years and the turkeys came home to roost a long time ago.

Just look at the top six "batting" for Sussex in this game...

Five from the Sussex youth system + Luke Wright who they have been ruining since the age of 18. No wonder we are getting thrashed.

 

[BensGrandad]

Looks like the weather will stop a Sussex victory as we have been unable to buld a lead quick enough.

 

[TSB]

Where's Ed??

 

[Taybha]

Is it raining oopt thar ?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Played Ben - now go get a 100

 

[KZNSeagull]

Ben Brown 53 not out 2 fours, 0 six.

Nash is fine and will resume batting next.

263-3

Is it raining oopt thar ?

Don't think so. Playing at the mo. Brown has a 50, and Wright's on 98 no

 

[Titanic]

Luke Wright 103* (166 balls, 17 fours, 1 six)

Sussex 281 (74 overs), leading by 71 runs

He has taken his time to get there this morning... now we need to press on before the new ball and build a decent lead.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Luke Wright 103 not out 17 fours, 1 six. Also 1000 championship runs in a season for the first time.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Luke has played so well, playing each ball on merit, it has taken overs to get from 98 to 100.

This is a great partnership now only a few away from 200.

Lets hope they keep going and are in for the new ball.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Luke Wright has over 1000 CC Dev 1 runs this season, I'd guess more runs than many players being considered for a test place. Well played Luke.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

200 run partnership, I am away in France without my handbook, what is the 4th wicket record, where is this so far in the pecking order. Does it count with a retired player, I imagine it does.

They said it was 190 something earlier on, but some conjecture as to when the partnership starts from, but there are only 15 odd runs between the last wicket falling and Nash retiring, so they have broken it either way now. 297-3.

Thats Brilliant I thought it may be a hundred or so more, did they mention at all, who held the record they have broken.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 300-3 (78 overs) and a 3rd batting point... and leading by 90

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

They must have been talking perhaps this season, millennium or that the hold the 6th wicket record, just found this on Wikipedia, scores 385 to 297 seem more like it, 297 if its the fifth wicket. 221 at the moment.

2nd – 385 Ted Bowley and Maurice Tate v Northamptonshire at Hove (1921)
3rd – 385* Michael Yardy and Murray Goodwin v Warwickshire at Hove (2006)

[hans kraay fan club]

363 for the 4th. Obviously Hoppo will have scored most of them.

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 304-3 (80 overs) and the new ball is taken.

 

[Nathan]

If we win this game are we safe from relegation?

363 for the 4th. Obviously Hoppo will have scored most of them.
