[Cricket] Worcs v Sussex 01-09-15 New Road 10.30 start

[BensGrandad]

Rain delay now, it will be a draw

Unless we declare now and hope the rain stops and we take 3 or 4 wickets today cheaply.

Sussex will be looking to milk ALL available bonus points, so will almost certainly continue batting towards 400 after lunch. I agree that controlled aggression until tea should have us with a lead of 300-odd, enabling the captain to set some aggressive fields. I think we need the insurance of a 300-run lead just in case one of our front line bowlers breaks down.

Great news about the Somerset defeat although it would take a miracle to prevent Hampshire form winning vs. Durham.

The commentary is back on... and here come the players

380-4 (96 overs)... just 20 required from 14 overs for maximum batting points (ideally for 0 or 1 wickets to deny Worcs a bowling point).

[backson]

Nice little 9th wicket partnership developing for Durham

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 400-4 (99.2 overs)

5 batting points in the bag and a lead of 190

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Come on Gnasher and Wright time to go bonkers then declare trust Oli - Jordan and Goff to do a job

 

[backson]

Just need to temper it for now, we don't want to gift Worcs another bowling point

 

[Titanic]

Durham 164-9, lead just 126

 

[Pantani]

Nice little 9th wicket partnership developing for Durham

[Titanic]

Sussex 414-4 (102.3 overs) leading by 204 runs, with a SIX from Gnash

 

[Nathan]

7 more overs (until 110 overs) then we can start to smash it even more. Wright has scored over 100 in 4's already.

 

[Titanic]

52.4 Berg to Rushworth, SIX
52.3 Berg to Rushworth, no run
52.2 Berg to Rushworth, SIX

194-9, leading by 156... getting a bit 'interesting'

 

[Titanic]

Chris Nash has taken a blow on the hand, and might be retiring hurt for the second time in this innings...

 

[Titanic]

he is going to tough it out... Sussex 423-4 (103.5 overs), leading by 213

 

[Simster]

Durham all out for 200.

You can't expect Hampshire to crumble from a comfortable winning position as pitifully as we did against Middlesex. They won't be that shit.
