Worcestershire vs Sussex – County Championship Division One – Nash leads Sussex charge
Sussex rode on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Worcestershire-c866 on 283 for 8, at the County Ground, New Road, Worcester, on May 16, 2012.
Nash’s 84 put the tourists in commanding position but his dismissal on the team score of 109 marked a middle-order collapse, which saw Sussex being halted at 6 for 167. However, Brown and Arif stood tall in a fifty-plus stand to help their side recover in time, and conclude the day’s proceeding on a healthy note.
With their leading wicket-taker, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ed-Joyce-c1417 playing, in a contrasting fashion.
Joyce managed just 6 off 50 balls before he fell off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lucas-c1332.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Joe-Gatting-c1710 in one over.
However, the final session again saw tides changing in favour of the batting team. Brown (42), who was brought into the side owing to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naved-Arif-c78891 (46) then managed to stuck it out – adding a crucial 84 for the seventh wicket.
The new-ball was taken but both players played freely. They remained on course to guide the final half an hour of play but fell in successive overs. Brown was caught by Vikram Solanki, who ran back from slip, while his partner edged behind off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jones-c69217.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Anyon-c1637 were the unbeaten pair – with the former playing an aggressive 24 off 23, aiding well in his side’s late recovery.
