He may have played a small part in that victory. I'll give him that.

Another easy win for Sussex, who scored 262 off their 30 overs. The CVL were about 110 short of the target.Lord Bracknell said:
Sixes flying everywhere from the batting of Alan Wells, Neil Lenham and Gus Mackay.
Who?
Gus Mackay - soon to take over as Chief Executive of SCCC.
Once scored a genuine 100 off 45 balls for Mashonaland against Matabeleland.

after seeing Rana's performance today I would rather keep Arafat for the last couple of weeks rather than Rana, he is well short of form at a very important time for us.

Superb result for us, it has put the pressure back on Essex now.
COME ON SUSSEX.
COME ON SUSSEX.
With the not unconceivable idea that it might rain in Durham and force a no result, does anyone know how big a win we need to overturn a 1.08 run rate deficit?

Work it out. It's easy (apparently).Carrot Cruncher said:
From the cricinfo site:-
An explanation of Cricket
Net Run Rate explained
Net Run Rate (NRR) has become the preferred method of breaking ties in multi-team one-day international tournaments. It is often misunderstood, but really quite simple to understand. The example and exlanation below is excerpted from CricInfo365's World Cup 1999 edition.
As explained in clause 11.6 of the 1999 World Cup playing conditions, "A team's net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team, the average runs per over scored against that team".
Clause 11.6 goes on to say that "In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and ot on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed."
Let's take as an example South Africa's net run-rate in the 1999 World Cup. South Africa's listing in the Group A points table published in the group stages was as follows:
................ P W L NR T Pts Net-RR For Aga
South Africa 3 3 - - - 6 +1.495 678/147.2 466/150
The columns we are looking at here are the last three: "Net-RR", "For" and "Aga". The figure in the "Net-RR" column is achieved by subtracting the answer of the division in the "Aga" column from the answer to the division in the "For" column.
To use this example:
FOR
South Africa had scored, so far in the tournament:
Against India, 254 runs (for 6 wkts) from 47.2 overs
Against Sri Lanka, 199 runs (for 9 wkts) from 50 overs
Against England, 225 runs (for 7 wkts) from 50 overs
Across the three games, South Africa scored 678 runs in a total of 147 overs and 2 balls (actually 147.333 overs), a rate of 678/147.333 or 4.602 rpo.
AGAINST
Teams opposing South Africa scored:
India, 253 (for 5 wkts) from 50 overs.
Sri Lanka, 110 all out from 35.2 overs.
England, 103 all out from 41 overs.
In the case of Sri Lanka and England, because they were all out before their allotted 50 overs expired, the run rate is calculated as if they had scored their runs over the full 50 overs.
Therefore, the run-rate scored against South Africa across the first three games is calculated on the basis of 466 runs in a total of 50 + 50 + 50 = 150 overs, a rate of 466/150 or 3.107 rpo.
NET-RR
The net run-rate is, therefore,
4.602 Run-rate for
3.107 Run-rate against

Unfortunately we are not allowed to do that. Now that Rana is available again he becomes our number two overseas player and Yasser is no longer in the frame. He'll be a guest at Trent Bridge, though, the least we could offer him after his great efforts for us. Whether we pick Rana I think will depend on how much he can get up to speed (and line!) in training this week.gazwag said:

However they were speculating on TMS yesterday that Rana may still be carrying an injury and the PCB may insist he is treated by their medical staff and so not available for Sussex, so Yasser may still be playing for us.

Firle Park is my favourite cricket ground - lovely sot and a thatched roof tiny pavilion.

Sadly, the old pavilion is no more. The new one is three times the size, with running water and drains and EVERYTHING.Storer68 said:
How it got LDC's planning permission, what with being in the AONB, I simply can't imagine.
