Brian Lara Situations
Situation Name - Sussex's Struggle
Difficulty Rating = 6 (ratings go from 1 easy to 6 nearly impossible)
One afternoon I decided to change the teams in Brian Lara Cricket from International teams to English County Teams.
Then I'd thought I'd play a test match (well that now becomes a Championship match). I played as Sussex (Zimbabwe) and thought
I'd take on Warwickshire (West Indies) as a challenge. I autoplayed the Warwickshire Innings after 7 overs on a green Edgbaston pitch that seemed to offer
a lot of movement for the bowlers and prooved to be very helpful for them. (Well I'd just had a dropped catch and felt real annoyed so I autoplayed the rest
of the innings before I threw the keyboard out of the window). Warwickshire made 267. On reflection Sussex may have bowled real badly! - you'll see why in a minute!
Sussex faced the last 3 overs of the first day, loosing Wasim Khan off 3 balls. Well that was expected as you do generally loose the odd wicket with
just a few overs left! Anyway next morning a brilliant catch from Penney removed Pierce and then the flood gates opened. Extreme amounts of swing and movement and a lot
of help for the bowlers on this bowler friendly green pitch means that Sussex have lost all of their recognised batsmen barring the captain Adams who remians unbeaten on 11. He's been joined by Robin Martin-Jenkins (son of the popular broadcaster
Christopher Martin-Jenkins) who is yet
to face a ball. (Sussex are 17 for 4 after 6 overs.)
So here comes the challenge - can Sussex save this match - there's just less than 4 days left!
The Warwickshire bowling is very good and really does test every team - the Sussex bowling in the previous matches was brilliant - but today its let them down drastically!
