The Royal London One Day Cup 2015
Knowing they needed to beat Sussex, and then
their final match against Kent at Edgbaston (and also
hope that other results go their way), the Bears fulfilled
the first part of the equation by extending Sussex’s
nightmare Group B campaign.
Put in on a good pitch in the elegant, tree-lined
setting of Rugby School, Sussex, without a win in the
competition, compiled a meagre 217. Only Bailey built
an innings of substance against an accurate attack led
by Patel and Hannon-Dalby.
Warwickshire then suffered a couple of wobbles
but Porterfield’s skilful 100, his ninth List A century, saw
them comfortably home.
Sussex’s innings started well enough. Joyce soon
lifted Barker to mid-off but Wright and Machan added
50 from 45 balls before the former edged Hannon-Dalby
to wicketkeeper Ambrose.
Machan lifted Barker over long off for six on his way
to 39 but fell lbw attempting to reverse-sweep Javid and
thereafter only Bailey made much progress against the
spinners.
Cachopa top-edged a pull at Patel who then took
a simple return catch to end a promising innings by
20-year-old Finch, playing only his third List A game.
Jordan lifted his back foot and was stumped off
Javid and when Wells fell lbw to Patel, the spinners had
shared five middle-order wickets for 71 runs to leave
Sussex 193 for 7.
Rankin returned to end Bailey’s resistance lbw,
Beer edged Hannon-Dalby and when Patel took a well-
judged boundary catch to remove Liddle off the former
Yorkshire seamer, Sussex looked well below par at 217.
Warwickshire started badly when Jordan forced
Chopra and Trott to play on in his first nine balls but
Porterfield and Ambrose added 79 to steady the ship.
Ambrose fell lbw to Wells and when spinners Wells and
Beer removed Evans and Clarke in five balls, the Bears
were awkwardly perched on 130 for 5.
But Porterfield found a resolute partner in Javid and
their measured sixth-wicket stand of 81 in 105 balls kept
Warwickshire’s hopes of a quarter-final place very much
alive.
