This seventh wicket stand is painful.
478/8.
No excuses tomorrow sun all day.
Bat all day and then skittle em out for 100.
Simples.
So many batsmen out lbw in this game.
Another nice ton from Carlson. He'll need to make a double ton if we're going stand a chance of saving the game I fear.
258-5 at the close with an unbroken stand of a hundred plus between Carlson and Taylor. In effect we’re 62-5, but we’ve done well to reach a score like that considering that, for the fourth time out of four, we lost our first three wickets in no time.
Carlson has done brilliantly but you know Sussex will wrap this up pretty quickly tomorrow
348/8. Brilliant effort by our young batsman but we need to bat to tea and I think it unlikely. This Weighell signing just has had an appalling debut. A pair and 0/96 off 15 overs.
In start contrast Hogan posted fabulous figures of 4/46 off 23.4 overs. In the context of a Sussex total just shy of 500 that’s fantastic.
Two more LBWs! Well, I hope Taylor makes it to his hundred now because he certainly deserves one. I was going to say the same thing about Weighell - he averaged under 30 per wicket at Durham, but that may tell you more about the Riverside wicket than him. However, if that is the case, then it makes his batting average of 24 more impressive.
I wonder if Robinson will play a test match before the summer’s out? I think he might.
I think Maynard has stitched the lads up a bit there. Obviously hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I think there were opportunities for Taylor and Douthwaite to start opening up a little bit and play their natural games. Obviously team orders seemed to be block everything.
With the extension , there were just too many overs left in the day for that to really have much chance of happening. If we'd let Douthwaite especially play his natural game, maybe there would have been a chance of a total harder to chase.
Positive to see the young lads standing up and playing good innings though
I suppose Van de gugten and weighell would have a legitimate claim to consider themselves as competent as Taylor. Totally agree with you though In terms of taking a single to leave Hogan with 3 balls to face. I think Taylor looked a bit torn between still batting for time, and the realisation that he was dow to his last partner. A lot of pressure on a young batsman I suppose
Good god. I didn't realise Robinson had a nine for. That's one hell of an effort. Sussex one down early but too much to ask from our bowlers to claw a victory I guess
