Lancashire 124 & 176 v Sussex 300 & 4/0 (0.3 ov) - Sussex won by 10 wickets
Liverpool: Sussex wrapped up their four-day match against Lancashire on the penultimate day after beating their opposition by 10 wickets here at Aigburth, on April 14, 2012.
The mastermind of Sussex’s insurmountable win was the highly well organized bowling performance from Australian born, 32-year-old pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steve-Magoffin-c2578, who grabbed seven wickets to decapitate Lancashire in their second innings, pushing them to the brink of extinction as the side fell after amassing 176 runs, giving Sussex just a run to win the game.
Sussex without a loss, reached the target with opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ed-Joyce-c1417 hitting a four off the third delivery of the first over of their second innings.
Meanwhile, after posting 85 runs on the board for the loss of four wickets on day-two, Lancashire resumed their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AG-Prince-c949 (31) and LA Procter (8), hoping to bat the whole day in order to post a defendable total on the board.
Both Prince and Procter knew that they were the last recognized pair that could actually lead their side out of trouble and for that they needed to stay on the wicket and see off dangerous bowlers, but this required great patience, which was bound to run out somewhere during the day.
Nonetheless, the two batsmen gave a steady start to the sequence of events and kept the scoreboard ticking in order to prevent the fielding side from gaining an upper hand.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sussex-c852, however, knew that this was the partnership that needed to come to an end after which they would run over the remaining squad.
The remarkable partnership finally came to an end with 137 runs on the board as Procter crumbled after clobbering an innings of 46 runs off 95 deliveries.
Later, Prince fell after crafting an impressive innings of 58 runs, to leave his side on a tally of 152. This wicket trigged the demise of Lancashire as the remaining batsmen failed to prosper against the bowling onslaught, consequently costing them the match.
