*** LVCC Division One, Middlesex v Sussex at Lord's, Jun 5-8, 2013 ***

[Pavilionaire]

Perceptive. They know they've already got enough runs.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I think they just got bored to be honest

Probably, I certainly am.
Two poor decisions now from Joyce in consecutive CC games after winning the toss in both, albeit he was one wicket away in Notts 1st innings from being ok. Anyone remember a similar effort from Yardy at Hove last season vs Warks? Put them in, they score 600, we come 2nd by an innings. Unless you expect to bowl the opposition out for less than 200 or the wicket's dodgy, always bat.

 

[Dancing Sock]

They've declared on 499/8 - why? One more run would've got them an 8th batting point. Lazy thinking Middlesex, lazy...

I hope you're joking.

 

[Dancing Sock]

The declared so they can bowl a tricky 7 or 8 overs before tea in which they will take 4 or 5 wickets.

All out by close, and again at lunch tomorrow?!

Deary me, what a shocking decision to put them in it was.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

1 down already

I hope you're joking.

I can assure you sir that we always play with a straight bat on this forum - no larking around.

 

[tinycowboy]

1 down already

However, pretty good strike rate - over 76. When you're faced with a mountain to climb, attack attack attack. A quick double century would have blown the wind out of the Middlesex sails; not to be, sadly.

 

[Dancing Sock]

There's the first, another 3 or 4 by tea.

 

[Nathan]

To be fair to Nash, he has a better strike rate than Rogers. Rogers 184 from 305 balls, while Nash 13 from 17 balls. Just a shame his efforts were cut short after 17 balls rather than the 305 balls Rogers faced.

 

[Dancing Sock]

Wells out just before tea, playing a stupid shot apparently.

Avoid the follow on? No chance. This has defeat written all over it.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

47/2 wells

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

54/2 a tea

 

[maltaseagull]

54/2 a tea

Don't panic! They were only 152-2 so if these two put on 200+ we will be ok

But then again..............

 

[The Birdman]

Well done Murray Goodwin 108 for Glamorgan

 

[brightonmark1234]

sussex are making it look so hard to bat and they made it look so easy to bat

 

[vegster]

I fear in the next week or two we will be exposed as the fakes we are.....even if we avoid humiliation here next week we face Surrey at Arundel and they look set to have KP back as well as that chimp Ponting.... doom I tell ya

 

[brightonmark1234]

why are we being so negative on here

 

[Chicken Run]

why are we being so negative on here

LOL

 

[vegster]

Well thats 3 down so thats the end of this match.

 

[Simster]

No way back from this shambles, methinks.
