One step closer

 

Whiteley might be out of form with the bat, but he's still a rock solid fielder. Yes that was simple, but he's easily our best.

 

Dawson-Wood-Wheal I'm guessing?

 

Douthwaite's done his hammy.

 

Or it looked like it anyway.

 

Well done Woody.

 

Good

 

Our fielding's been top notch. Glamorgan made a couple of errors which may have cost them.

 

Not in the slot Brad.

 

YES

 

YES

 

There we go. Back of a length. Good chat by Vincey.

 

What a weird match for Brad. Horrendously expensive for this pitch, but a shed load of important wickets.

 

Fine. Let Wood and Crane and Dawson keep it tight. Wickets win matches.

 

That's the game!

 

Boom, boom, boom, boom

We've recovered from the first four losses!

Now it's annoying that we've got a (short) break!

 

I know there'll be a fair few changes for Sunday, but boy does it feel good going into a key CC match with 4 straight T20 wins.

 

Good that Joe goes into the match with a nice 46 not out on a tricky pitch.

 

Oh and Yorks won by 10 wickets tonight so Brook didn't even get a bat. Hopefully he'll be a touch rusty.

 

Sussex appear on course to win this by a big enough margin (go Alsop!) to overtake us on NRR. And Essex are crushing Middlesex. But it doesn't matter. We'll be ending the day in a far better position than we started.
