107 off 14 overs. We need to throw the bat. Crocombe doing that now. But what is the point now. Can you explain what is going on? Crocombe out now. Still no declaration. If Robinson or McAndrew were playing we would have declared at 110 overs. |

After a promising start to the morning session, we seem to have lost our way.
Not sure I understand the thinking or the tactics. It may make a bit more sense if Alsop was taking most of the strike.
Against a good batting line up on a decent track, in effect we need to bowl out Leicestershire in around five sessions for around 430. Whilst ensuring they get less than 280 first time around, so we can enforce the follow on and if necessary leave sufficient time for a mini run chase. That is also assuming no further time is lost due to the weather or bad light.
Realistically, looks like being a draw, which was always the most likely outcome, but since we passed 400, our tactics seem to have made this even more probable.
Hopefully, Yorkshire can do us a favour by beating Durham.

That last 8.3 overs was complete nonsense.
1 over before lunch.
Come on Sussex, let's bowl out Leicester cheaply.

Great spell of bowling from Hudson-Prentice. I get the impression in order to get the best out of him, he needs to play regularly. His absences due to injury since he re-joined probably explain why up to now we haven’t seen him at his best.
I am a big fan of Currie, thought he was a great find last season, but regretfully he has struggled with line and length this afternoon. Needs to do better in this match, if he wants to keep his place in the side.
If we can get these two out and Wright doesn't do another rescue job as a late order batter, we may still be able to enforce a follow-on.

My XI for Glamorgan assuming full availability would be Haines, Orr, Alsop, Pujara, Coles, Carter wk, Hudson-Prentice, Robinson, McAndrew, Karvelas, Carson.
We need to pick our best eleven to win the game.

270 all out. Will we go for the win and enforce the follow on?

Fantastic effort by the Team and without Robinson and McAndrew.
I thought it was going to be another case of being completely in control and failing to press home the advantage.
Those extra few runs this morning when they batted on eventually proved invaluable. Perhaps there was some logic behind not declaring after the final bonus point was obtained.
I know I am being greedy, but another wicket before the close would be a nice way to finish off a very good day.

Joe I believe is correct, they won't leave out Smith, unless there is a 'convenient' injury. But absolutely CP, that would be the ideal selection, a very strong line up, a strong batting unit, four seamers, two spinners and Haines as a further bowling option. |

So great to see Sussex regularly bossing games again. It’s been a long while.
May it continue on throughout the season, 👏

I think FHP should be a first pick, so for me, he gets to play regularly. |

Harms talking absolute sh*te.
He doesn't understand how competitive 1st class cricket is. Little decisions can make the difference to a players career.
If the Sussex lads thought Budinger had nicked off earlier then give him a send off when he is out. Proper cricket.
Harms now sticking up for the live stream. In my opinion if it hasn't worked fir the first 30 mins that is incompetent and somebody needs a kick.
Apologies rant over; and we have 2 wickets.

For someone who only has 1 club to actually commentate on (he does some BHAFC matches but only as a presenter) he's woefully uninformed. Just basic information about when players are here until, former clubs etc. Dreadful. |
