Surrey v SUSSEX - Day One Thread..

[Everest]

Ball by ball on BBC London webpage in case you did not know

Thanks for that Gaffer. Commentary's just gone off.

Scub that. Back on now.

 

[Marshy]

the wicket must be half decent as they have all got in, look set and then got out. So skittle them out for less than 200, score 350-400.....job done... !

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Azzer's on the slog.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Azzer's on the slog.

and doing it quite well it would appear.

179/6 Axhar Mahood 53 no from 66.

 

[Trigger]

I think i know the reason why Mushy is finding it hard...

Same reason why Saqlain is 12th man for Surrey i bet...

Well prepared pitch to combat Mushy.

 

[Nobby Nomates]

Look on the bright side - Mahmood and Bicknell are showing that it is possible to score lots of runs on this pitch. All we need now is to bowl them out for less than 250 and hope that our top order is a little more diciplined. 400-450 in a day and a half would put us in a very strong position.

 

[Trigger]

227/7 Bicknell gone, bowled Innes

 

[The Oldman]

Beat me to it Trigger..now for Mahmood.

 

[Trigger]

Azhar fallen to Lewry wooohooo 245/8

 

[donuts]

surrey will get 320 and skittle sussex out for less than 150

 

[Trigger]

Who the f*** are Essex?

 

[Seagull over NZ]

281 for 8 at tea - going at a fair lick, just under 4 an over. Still, on that wicket, a score of around 300 is probably about par.

 

[Simster]

Who are these clowns doing the commentary? Pathetic.

[blue-shifted]

I'm so looking forward to seeing what this batting line up can do. Hopefully a few can do what i've just done and bring up a century!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Monty flaying the Surrey pie-throwers - 4 off 7 overs!!

 

[Simster]

Monty flaying the Surrey pie-throwers - 4 off 7 overs!!

He's just dropped anchor whilst Wardy picks 'em off.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He did something similar on Day One vs. MCC. Not pretty but effective.

Is it me or has his strike rate fallen off?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Close of play:-

Surrey 1st innings
304 all out

Sussex 1st innings
IJ Ward not out 44
RR Montgomerie not out 24

A good day for us, I think.
