English Domestic Cricket

I meant in this game the par score should be 180+ and near 200, not in all games at Hove. These boundaries are a lot smaller than they usually are and the pitch is brilliant for batting.

Sussex are well below par, I expect us to win this comfortably.

 

[King Pietersen]

I reckon Kieswetter's benefited from the tiny boundaries there. That shot would have been out on any other ground, went straight up in the air, but on this ground still carried for 6. Solid start for Somerset!

Interesting to see how Compton goes here. I think he's just keeping the slot warm for White, but hopefully he'll do well.

 

[MUFC1987]

Kieswetter had better win us the game after that. Shocking stuff.

 

[treva]

This is brainless cricket from our batsmen. We don't deserve to win this. Kieswetter played well but a stupid run out cost us big time. That was a woeful shot, play through the line Trego not just swing randomly across it. No idea why Kartik is ahead of Thomas either, Thomas is a pretty good bat.

 

[MUFC1987]

It doesn't exactly help having our in form batsman given out either. We've just looked poor outside of Buttler. Even Kieswetter has looked laboured.

 

[treva]

That sums it up. What is that? Just what is that? Catching practice. Gonna need to improve a hell of a lot if we want to make the finals again this year. Think we may just need Pollard and White. I'd rather see them have a go than the others just plod along and then get out attempting an attacking shot.

Just slog and end this woeful performance, Alf and Turner.

Well done lads, only about 80 short of what this pitch/ground deserves. Waste of 3 hours that was.

Why does Cricinfo say Yardy helped Sussex win when other players did far more?

 

[Sureshot]

His spell was very influential. Also, he is a T20 world cup winner.

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeah, his spell in the middle overs really put the squeeze on and put Somerset under pressure. He's also the Sussex captain, so I'd say he was pretty influential in the win.

ten Doeschate is on fire at the moment.

 

[Highlander999]

Shame it wasn't enough

 

[Sureshot]

Excellent bowling performance by us, all-round performance from Yards. 37* from 28 and 2-14 from 4 overs.

Wright 4 overs for 16.

Good to see Butler's fitting in well at Gloucestershire taking 3/8 against Surrey

 

[Themer]

Nice to see that Symonds has been answering the hype about him playing for Surrey.
