[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2025 Division One Edition

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Notts opener Hameed currently 146no, having faced a Durham bowling attacking featuring soggy pairing Drissell and Raine.

Hameed carried his bat for 206* off just 241 balls, out of 407 all out.

Not a bad effort . Next highest score 52, 5 players out for 4 or under.

It’s hard to believe this is the same man who bounded in at Lords to win us the 1986 Nat West Final, and always had a smile on his face around the county ground.

I see Hayes bowled 6 overs, going at above a run a ball. Very odd selection, if we weren't going to play Karvelas we may as well have played Carter.

Him and Asif Din destroyed Sussex after tea in the 1993 final. I remember passing the ground bookies with Warwicks at 7/1 during the break. Interestingly, both matches involved teams making record breaking totals.

Guessing Hayes playing was a condition of him singing.
Bit of a disaster as the skipper clearly doesn’t rate him.
And we miss out on Karvelas, who is solid and would have done a decent job.

“You ain’t seen nothing like the the Asif Din”

But that makes it even weirder that we chose to field first

In the last couple of Taunton games I think I’m right in saying the pitch has got easier to bat on Later on. Maybe that was the logic?

It has for ages. It is not always easy to score runs late in the game but it is very hard to get people out. The pitch dies. The Ecb didn’t like crying about turning pitches and punished us. Green seamers are fine where 75 mph bowlers are unplayable but not spinners. Perfect test prep.

Hold my pint

 

[Berty23]

I just put on the live stream. I think I heard vic marks in the background. I have nothing to do for an hour so looking forward to this. Vic was always my fav on tms.

 

[Berty23]

It feels like we might benefit from being skittled as pitch doing plenty this morning. Might be a good time to bowl!

Pretorious will not bat for long but might score some runs.

Aaand he's gone. 326/8

That was a delivery that would have a test opener in trouble or tbf.

Agreed. Has been an excellent spell from Robinson

Yeah. Absolutely fantastic. It is perfect bowling. Maybe a top batsman might not have followed it with it being just back of a length but it has been a sensational spell.

 

[Berty23]

Skittled. Well bowled. Shame for Vaughan. Come on lads.

 

[amexer]

Strange that Vaughn felt need to slog as Leach well capable of hanging around

 

[Berty23]

This match has been a brilliant advert for DRS. Two absolute clangers in the Somerset innings and that lbw decision on Clark from Henry was staggering. It was hitting middle wasn’t it? Maybe middle and leg. No idea how that was not out. Strange.

 

[Berty23]

And the one two balls later looked high but maybe umpires call. I suspect that was an umpire realising he had screwed one up!
