[Cricket] LV= County Championship Division One, Warwickshire v Sussex at Birmingham
- Thread starter 8ace
- Start date
It may not be random rubbishness. The bowler may have meant it. I've tried it - fired it deliberately wide down the leg side, when a guy was charging - with a pre-arranged signal to the keeper that it was coming.
He 'forgot what the signal was for' and it went for four byes

How can you forget Mushy/Prior in the win over Lancashire at Lords?

Dopey keeper got his punishment though, as they were signalled byes, even though they were (massively) wides.

I agree. It's just frustrating that they have these long losing spells, they've got the talent to be winning everything.
Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!
Primary data is fact
".............Westwood and Jonathan Trott survived to within three overs of stumps before Westwood was trapped in front by a ball which turned sharply."
This is Luke Wells that's being reported here for turning the ball sharply and Sussex are actually playing FOUR spinners! It's like waking up in some sort of alternative universe.

Trott loves playing against Sussex, lets hope he is not planning to bat for 2 days, score 400 breaking all records, then come on as a part time spinner and skittle us out.
For once I want some cricket normality to resume and we get 17 wickets on a deteriorating pitch, that Goff scuffs up nicely this morning while taking 5 of them.
Crazy as a Sussex fan how I can still be nervous

127 / 3 these 2 are making it look easy - and one of them is a night watchman!

You're right....bloody Trott always seems to fill his boots against us and the match situation today is perfect for him, no pressure to score runs quickly, a benign pitch and a chance for him to appear to be far better than he actually is.

The pitch was deliberately prepared to be slow as they thought we had no spinners and could not bat.
Pity we missed the fourth batting bonus point by one ball! Still might get a few bowling points and four for the inevitable draw.
