Anon Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 If we bowl them out for less than 100, would you declare on 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Get a lead (hopefully 👀) and then get them back in. Don’t think chasing 200 plus tomorrow would be easy. If we don’t get skittled out as well, a declaration target should be in mind from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the conditions, but I just wondered based on how Sussex have struggled this morning and if it stays dry the pitch should improve tomorrow? I agree with you though. There's always a concern we'll make batting on this surface look even more difficult than our opponents. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls moving about a bit, a bit of uneven bounce, but it’s not a minefield or anything. Some poor shots got Sussex in trouble and then they’ve collapsed in a manner that would make Derbyshire proud 😀 cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 94-1 at close. bat until lunch and then put them back in? It’s unlikely they will collapse again, but you’ve got to give it a go. Comrade 86 and Eddie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to hear that only Bob Taylor (twice) and Harvey Hosein had taken 7 in an innings for Derbyshire before. jimbo jones and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
