[Cricket] ***County Championship Division Two,Sussex Vs Leicester at Hove, April 5th - 8th***

[Pudos]

Too much has been made pre-season about Sussex, some writers making us faves for Div 2. Our batting is so fragile, has been for some time. We are mid div 2 team, and will be for a long while to come (till county championship ceases in 10 years)

Leicester last wicket partnership taking the proverbial by CLOUTING boundaries, lead now past 60. Were loose in the next couple of days. Drinks may be taken shortly and I don't mean upon the outfield...

Currently boozing in Shakespeare outside Victoria, shaking hands with Dick Knight!!!

Ridiculous batting from Sussex chasing this disgraceful deficit, 5 an over?

I blame T20 myself.

Oh and its 78/0...

You clearly don't know the Form about Sussex CCC threads do you?

Fine, fine cricket from The Super Soaraway Sussex Sharks. Were loose of course, but this last couple of hours was a real highlight in what is shaping up to be an otherwise troubling season going forward. 163/2

 

[Scappa]

211/2 at the close - 132 ahead. Wells and van Zyl to resume in the morning, each on 41 overnight

Needs to be changes. Can't sustain performances like that.

200 up and they're already two down.

If they've lost another two by the time they reach 400 it's clear this season is going nowhere.

Great effort this afternoon to give us a chance of rescuing this situation. As ever, I pray for rain to be our 12th man though.

220 all out?

Sussex building well now. Was concerned at 201-2. It was the usual poor effort.

Do Sussex use a wicketkeeper? He can do nothing about 8 no balls but 16 leg byes!

You can't blame the w/k for leg byes

 

[BensGrandad]

Why not is it not his job to stop the ball going past him by anticipating the ball and being in the correct position?

Jordan and Robinson go a few balls before the new ball.
