Sussex vs Somerset at Hove, Apr 27–30

bhafc99 · Apr 27, 2014

Shellshocked Sussex will try to restart their season, following an opening pair of games where the gap in quality was savagely exposed.

Despite those opponents feeling so bad they generously awarded Sussex compensatory victories, it's clear Ed and the boys have a long way to go if humiliating relegation is to be avoided.

Latest Ladbrokes odds:
Somerset: 350-1 ON
Sussex surviving more than one day: 150-1 against.

Can't we just give them a walkover?

Paddy B · Apr 27, 2014

Were loose

Beach Hut · Apr 27, 2014

Be a while till play starts given the weather, perhaps we should just concede we are so bad these days.

Mo Gosfield · Apr 27, 2014

Reality will kick-in.
Somerset 489-6 dec Sussex 198 and 273.
The slide down the table starts right here, right now.

Did anyone see Wirral CC were bowled out for three? Top scorer was leg byes with two and the only other scorer was number 11 marooned on 1 not out.

Radio just said inspection is taking place but looking v gloomy overhead and that its raining at the Hampshire game.

Sussex CCC ‏@SussexCCC 51s
A rain shower ensured the covers were back on ahead of the inspection. Umpires are out in the middle now though #GOSBTS

Could be an on off sort of day.

I can hear a mechanical sound on the live radio feed, could be the tractor towing the rope around the outfield.

Their No.11 sounds like the sort of chap to install some backbone into our batting line-up - is he available?

First session abandoned due to the weather, all the time we are in the dressing room we are not losing !

Mackenzie · Apr 27, 2014

Superb start for Sussex. Only 11 more sessions to survive.

That Istead chap looked a bit expensive. I'm surprised they kept him on.

Sussex win toss and will field :down:

Another one of those appalling performances when we eventually bowl them out for 85.
