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

[Pavilionaire]

Good time to get your bet on Durham.

No chance, it's Carberry but it might as well be Carvery the way these openers are tucking into the Durham bowling

Sussex 501-5 (115.2 overs) with a first innings lead of 291 runs... this time with a SIX from Zaidi

(there are 46 overs remaining in the day)

 

[Sargey]

Genuine question, why has Ashar Zaidi gone in to bat?

Guessing deleration is pretty close and want to keep the seamers as fresh as possible?

35-1 Adams out... 128 more required

Sussex 510-5 DECLARED (116.4 overs), a first innings lead of 300

Luke Wright 226* (274 balls, 28 fours, 7 sixes)

Tea will be taken between the innings, with 43 overs remaining in the day.

Bonus points: Sussex 8, Worcestershire 2

 

[Simster]

So a draw then.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Annoying that tea has been taken, ideally we would have wanted 5 overs at them before the break.

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 man in the know eh!!!

Genuine question, why has Ashar Zaidi gone in to bat?

To give it a smack?

 

[Pavilionaire]

35-1 Adams out... 128 more required

Vince shouldn't have bothered taking out his bat, a plate and a napkin would have sufficed. 47-1, Pringles and plenty of Onions on offer - om nom nom.

 

[Titanic]

Bad light has prevented the start of the Worcs 2nd innings after tea...

 

[Nathan]

To give it a smack?

Thought Jordan could do that. Zaidi only got 15 from 15 balls, good enough though I guess.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Genuine question, why has Ashar Zaidi gone in to bat?

I assume to let Jordan put all his energy into bowling them out

 

[Uncle Buck]

They are just coming out now.

 

[Simster]

Hants 84/3, just 79 more required.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Come on Sussex, a wicket or two tonight would be perfect

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Goff strikes in the third over

1 for 1

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Goff sixty overs so far this season

 

[Titanic]

Poor light again... Nash puts Zaidi on in the hope of staying out there...

Worcs 29-1 (11 overs), still trailing by 271 with 24 overs left in the day...

 

[Titanic]

Bugger.... Jordan drops Mitchell at slip
