[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2025 Division One Edition

[Kinky Gerbil]

O

The pitch is a disgrace. Looks like a day 6 pitch on day 1, puffs of dust, variable bounce and turn. Hants have looked at the number of left handers in the Sussex team and picked a used wicket so Dawson in particular can use the very worn areas outside the off stump. Throw the book at them.

If a pitch is that bad, why is it not a straight forfeit?

Isn't it cheating?

Plenty of playing and missing...

Only if they somehow arrange to bat on a different pitch when it's their turn.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Plenty of playing and missing...

Great, hopefully lots of demons remain.

Look at the state of that strip. We're still in the fourth session of the match

This match is being played at whatever the Rose Bowl's called nowadays, and not at some random club ground near Southampton, isn't it?

And they have aspirations to be a test venue, no way.

Think the pitch report from the umpires will be interesting.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Dawson is getting quite a lot of turn. Which is probably better news for Sussex, with the lead approaching 50 and we've got 2 spinners.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

As someone said here, it's designed for Dawson to drop the ball into the considerable rough outside the left handers off stump.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Whoever Prest is, he's getting some low bounce in that first over of spin. Could be very tricky batting later.

 

[Gwylan]

Was out this morning so missed most of the play but this is a very handy stand - a lead of 100 on this pitch would be useful. There's a bit of turn and low bounce which won't make it pleasant batting on the third day (can't see this going much into the fourth). Love to see FHP get a ton, he's not got one yet

 

[Don Tmatter]

It’ll never last this partnership and we’ll fold up like a pack of cards after lunch

That’s the spirit!

Yep.
Hants 100 lead by close with only a couple of wickets down.
Sussex defeat by tea on Sunday.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Keep flipping back to the stream and thought blimey not much happening decided to refresh the screen we'd scored 50 more runs

 

[CHAPPERS]

Proper professional partnership this.

When you work, it's good to have something on in the background.
