Sussex V Northants, Tue 7th- Fri 10th

[The Large One]

As it stands at the end of Day One...


Sussex 213
Glamorgan 191
Worcestershire 170

 

[The Large One]

Worcs dropped 2 bonus points so we only need 7 points for promotion, which means we need to score over 350 to get 4 batting points to go with our already got 3 bowling points.

114 to go.

We needed eight points at the start of the matches.

Worcs have dropped two off their max, meaning we only needed six points. We've already got four.

It's 14 to go before Worcs can only draw level, it's 64 for promotion.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Yes but Gloucs are only one point behind Worcs so we needed seven points to go up.
Worcs have dropped 2 pts, Gloucs could still possibly get max pts from both games so we need 214 plus 1 pt to technically finish above Gloucs because they could total 214 pts.
So once we get to 350, we secure promotion by getting 7 pts.

 

[simmo]

According to the Beeb we need 114 runs to be sure

 

[The Oldman]

Would not think there is much chance of play this morning. Even if rain stops soon outfield will be very damp and need a few hours to dry out.
Forecast for Thursday and Friday much better.

I loved that second shot from Nash. I also love the Sussex highlights purely because you have to wait an age for a long catch and the suspense adds to it - I often have some sort of tune playing in my head during the long wait.

Looks like only Gloucestershire will get to start on time this morning, other games have bad light acording to cric info.

I am off work today and was really hoping to see us clinch promotion.

Very frustrating.

Not looking too good

 

[8ace]

From the argus:

Good news. Providing there is no more rain, play will start at 11.30

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Not looking good on BBC weather map (can often be wrong)

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

From the argus:

Bruce Talbort reckons they may get 30 plus minutes in so may dash down to see if Nash and Brown can keep the push to promotion on. Then that may be it until early evening according to the BBC weather.

 

[The Oldman]

Play underway at 11.30

250 up, Nash hits 14 in first over of the day
