Sussex routed Yorkshire by 76 runs in a Group A match of the Clydesdale Bank 40, at the County Ground, Hove in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, on Wednesday, July 27, 2011.
The hosts batted first and piled up a massive total of 246 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 40 overs. Opening batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chris-Nash-c1247 was the top scorer of the innings and the game with 79 runs, which provided wonderful momentum to the Sussex team.
Yorkshire failed to cope with the pressure of chasing down a huge target, as the team was all-out for 170 runs in 34.3 overs. None of the batsmen in the team managed to score a half-century in the innings and the highest score came from wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow, who finished with 43 runs.
Toss was won by the home team’s skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MH-Yardy-c1946, who had no hesitation in his mind to bat first. The pitch was dry and expected to be a touch difficult for the team batting second.
However, the Sussex batsmen made most of the better conditions in the first half of the match. Despite losing opening batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ed-Joyce-c1417 early, the team got off to a decent start.
Joyce got out after adding just seven runs to the total in his short stay at the crease, but Nash and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lou-Vincent-c73143 put together a solid half-century partnership for the second wicket.
The pair collected exactly 50 runs before the Kiwi batsman was dismissed. He was unable to make most of the start he got to his innings, getting out for 21 runs off 29 balls with the help of three boundaries.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Murray-Goodwin-c2040 was also unable to capitalise on the start he got to his innings and was sent back to the pavilion after contributing 22 runs to the total. He faced 26 deliveries in his outing and smashed one four.
Yardy was the next man to be dismissed in the innings. The hosts’ skipper failed to make a significant impression and was sent back to the pavilion after adding just 15 runs to the total.
Sussex lost a few more quick wickets, which shifted the momentum slightly towards the Yorkshire team. Nash collected 79 runs off 84 deliveries in his outstanding knock. He struck eight fours and one massive six before being dismissed.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Luke-Wells-c1859 and Naved-ul-Hasan were the next two wickets to fall in the innings after collecting 17 and 4 runs in their respective outings.
