Day 1: Sussex getting a pasting

[Gwylan]

Sussex 50-4 at lunch. Probably a green wicket as Gloucs put us in, but this is a piss-poor score. We could be bottom of the table by the weekend.

 

[Marc]

From Heroes To Zeros in one fell swoop Must be bloody windy at Arundel though surely? talk about Swing...I'd be surprised if the ball even reached the other end!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I think that may have been a very good toss to win

 

[Gwylan]

75-7 for now...not looking good.

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

 

[the full harris]

86-8 off of 38 overs.

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Presumably it was a bit of juicy pitch to bowl on thus all out for just over a 100. However, Glouc now 50 odd for 0 - not a great day at the office.
