[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2025 Division One Edition

[ManOfSussex]

Wanting to rest Robinson and Seales for Somerset?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Back watching.

Consecutive 4s for Alsop

New ball taken

Giving Alsop the chance to get his ton doesn't seem progressive. But at least he's not hanging about.


Edit. One way or another we are going to have 40 overs to have a pop at a win, Shirley?

 

[Eeyore]

Surprised Sussex haven't declared. Warwicks are well out of range now. The chances of winning are very low, but I'd want to get bowling.

 

[jcdenton08]

Declared

 

[Albion Robster]

How many overs left in the day? Shirley its a draw. Might as well shake on the shared points now.

 

[amexer]

As someone who has no interest in 20/20 and likes 4/5 day games I dont think games like this offer anything to the many against. Surely some effort could be made to set a target which may be difficult but not like now impossible.
I hope this is not a sign of things to come in D1 where sides not in contention will be happy to pick up draw points to stay up.

 

[SpongebobSquarepants]

2 wickets in the bag

 

[DJ NOBO]

Carson for England

A solid points haul first game back in Div 1, being played on a road. There'd be all sorts of gnashing of teeth if we'd got out cheaply trying to set something up

 

[amexer]

I understand why but not of much interest to paying public that we are desperate to attract

 

[Gwylan]

Worcs scraped an amazing draw against Somerset - that looked curtains for them. And that was despite D'Oliveira being given out to the worst LBW decision we'll see this season. The umpire must have fancied an early getaway

 

[amexer]

I see Sussex coach said post match unlike D2 there is relegation and more often than not sides will be happy with 15 points for a draw. May not make good watching on days 3 and 4 if both sides get good 1st innings scores

I've watched that delivery a few times. Lost a lot of head hair with the scratching.

Horrendous.

 

[DJ NOBO]

How can that possibly be given ?
Genuine question as I’m not 100% clear on lbw

It can’t in any normal world. Regardless of the numerous vagaries of the lbw law, the ball has to be hitting the stumps……..this was missing by MILES.

I've been freeze framing it, it's a risky move to make, but I can't see how that could be given. Even when you're looking for it, it looks like it's fifth stump at best.

Because the umpire was Mr S Attwell, I think

 

[Gwylan]

The more I see that D'Oliveira decision, the more perplexed I get. I don't think it's just the worst LBW I've seen this year, I think it's the worst LBW decision I've ever seen - it's even worse than Jayasuriya's dismissal of Graham Thorpe, that's how bad it is.

I wonder that you may not be old enough to remember some of the Indian umpires in the early 80s

To quote The Cricketer in early 1982- 'six wickets fell after tea, four to the players and two to the umpires'
