[Humblebee]

Only 9 runs off the last two overs, plus a wicket. There is hope yet.

............there is always hope............feeling confident............

 

[amersfoort bee]

Looks to me as if it is another abysmal bowling performance. Little chance at the moment.

At least we can't go any lower in the table....

 

[GP200]

At least we can't go any lower in the table....

.............thankfully...............

 

[amersfoort bee]

At least we can't go any lower in the table....

That's true.

I remember going to the first limited overs game for counties at Lords - 40 overs? and Middlesex scored at over 4 per over thanks to a fast score from Keith Jones and we won (I think it was v Yorkshire). Fast forward and one needs at least 10 runs per over in 20 over games.

Sussex currently scoring at about 11.5 per over.

O dear.

 

[Humblebee]

Sussex 168-1 off 15. With badgerbee rooting for us, what could possibly go wrong????

 

[Humblebee]

185-3. It gets better....

Edit 186-4 - 3 wickets in 4 balls for Fuller.

 

[GP200]

..............collapse is on..............

 

[GP200]

..............restrict them to 215...............game on......

 

[amersfoort bee]

Stirling gives 10 wides away in last over!!!

216 to win.

 

[Humblebee]

Stirling gives 10 wides away in last over!!!

Just about sums up our season. 202-5 after 19.3 overs and then give away 13 off the last 3 balls. Ridiculous.

 

[CTBee]

Going to take a special knock from either Stirling or Morgan I think.

............here's hoping.............

 

[GP200]

..............Scott goes third ball.............

 

[GP200]

................73-1 after 5 overs................

 

[GP200]

............Stirling and Simpson 100 partnership..............

 

[CTBee]

Stirling gone

 

[amersfoort bee]

The way the games are going even if we do win pretty good chance we will still finish bottom.

Amy chance of getting Giles et al involved in recruitment next year:

 

[GP200]

............85 required from 10 overs.............

 

[GP200]

..............Simpson gone.............

 

[CTBee]

Simpson out, wheels coming off

 

[CTBee]

Thrown it away

 

[Humblebee]

173-8. Same old story.

 

[GP200]

............our Cup Final turned out to be crucial.............

 

[badgerbee]

Spineless wnakers.....

[TW3Bee]

Somethings got to change.

Can’t seem to put a good batting and bowling performance together in the same game.
