Sussex (Nil Point) CCC vs Surrey CCC @ Horsham (4 Dayer)

[Gazwag]

No fourth bonus point because 350 has to be within 110 overs but great lead and brilliant innings by Anyon and Panesar

Of course I was so amazed I forgot to look at the overs

 

[Storer 68]

Pie chucking has now commenced.

23 off 5 for slurrey

 

[vulture]

Wee still willie loose

 

[TheMajor]

Looks like only rain can save the Brownshatters of Surrey from innings defeat.

 

[vegster]

au contraire el veg. a century off 200 balls is quite quick, in fact supersonic compared to this lot...........................................
The record for slowest centuries in Test Cricket is given below:

1) In 557 minutes by Mudassar Nazar of Pakistan against
England at Lahore 1977-78

2) In 545 minutes by DJ McGlew of South Africa against
Australia at Durban in 1957-58

3) In 535 minutes by AP Gurusinha of Sri Lanka against

Sri Lanka at Colombo (CCC) in 1986-87

5) In 500 minutes by SV Manjrekar of India against
Zimbabwe at Harare in 1992-93

6) In 488 minutes by PE Richardson of England against
South Africa at Johannesburg in 1956-57

Er, get with the program .....this is Sussex we are talking about

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Now you have to concede that's one heck of a fightback from the tail. A last wicket stand of 80. Well done.

Was there all afternoon and although Wells & Anyon were brilliant Slurrey's bowlers were dreadful, how has Dernbach ever played for England and Batty was a joke. Slurrey fielding was village cricket standard and if the outfield hadn't been so slow (all run 4's for example) Sussex would had 500.

Shot of the day was Monty heading a 6 towards the Tennis Courts.....

Hopefully sneak a couple of hours there tomorrow as well, was going to go on Sunday for the 1-dayer but the weather forecast is frightful.

 

[LamieRobertson]

i c the bbc website has surrey with 3 batsman at the crease...cheats i say! lol

 

[jakarta]

And finally.........

A fairly warm, dry & sunny day - full days play in prospect!

COME ON!!!!

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

How many overs in the day?

 

[Benson]

96 I think,, but you take two off for the change of innings.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

If Surrey can be got out for less than 250 (unlikely, obviously), Sussex could even win this.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

If Surrey can be got out for less than 250 (unlikely, obviously), Sussex could even win this.

Probably not enough time though.
