Northamptonshire v Sussex Math thread

[Gwylan]

There's another way too

The first batsman hits a six, then a single to win it. At that point the scorers notice they're one run out in the total, so with one run needed off the last ball, the second batsman hits a six

 

[DJ NOBO]

Who are the seven? There's a good quiz question. Freddie Brown? David Sales? Mal Loye? Mike Hussey? Hussey deffo did, he scored a couple for them

EDIT: Alan Lamb must be there but I'm lost on the others

Pretty sure Rob Bailey did.....Fordham, Feltham back in the day. They had a good team in the late 80s/ early 90s

 

[happygull]

my turn I guess

Two batsman each on 94 runs. Seven runs needed to win in last 3 balls. Both make 100*. How?

First batsman hits a 6, then off the second last ball tries for another 6 but gets caught, however the batsman have crossed so off the last ball the second batsman hits a 6

but then he is not 100*

I'm guessing it must be about one hitting a six so making a 100 then he gets out (say caught - can you be run out and cross) but they cross as mentioned then the other batsman hits a six on the last ball - hence three deliverys - this must have happened somewhere esp in 20 20

Opps read the thread as Happygull has already answered the question

Rain still keeping us from getting close to assessing our battling line up. Still Machan was injured day one with a blow to the head so hopefully allowing him to see straight before facing a ball in anger,

Inspection at 11.30

Who remembers when county cricket was played in the summer...

Pray for more rain

BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms at Wantage Road:

"Further inspection at 11.30, prospects of any play before lunch look slim."

I know it has its own thread but sad to see James Taylor having to retire - what a fantastic streaky innings he made against the Aussies in his only ever game as a Sussex Cricketer, sad loss to the game but may not miss watching him pile up runs against us.

..thinking along right lines....

 

[BensGrandad]

The good thing is no play today due to wet outfield so a draw seems the likely result.

Would have been good to get more than one bonus point though

Northants 481-7 (135 overs) Duckett 282*

Abandoned as a draw.

Northants took nine points from their opening Championship fixture of 2016, with Sussex claiming six.

Great advert for professional cricket.

They really do start cricket too early now. Would make more sense to run May to late September.

That would interfere with football but then there are not many Arthur Miltons or Denis Foremans about now.

Never going to happen with T20 about. What a shame, a few years away from retirement and my favourite pastime of watching County Cricket will pretty well be gone. Well done ECB and tw*ts like Michael Vaughan banging on about Franchise Cricket. I live in Sussex, not a bloody Franchise!
