Is it on twice then ?

 

[Albion Robster]

I was going to go down to The Oval this afternoon, but the weather looks a bit ropey. Looks like the overs could be reduced with the amount of rain around today.

 

[Jack Daniels]

The more like 20/20 it is the more chance sussex have of winning in my book. Especially in surreys back yard.

sorry chicken didn'nt see ya thread

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Start delayed due to rain

I am a Bad Fan and havent gone but when I looked on three separate weather websites that it was either going to rain or HAIL(!) from now until 5PM I thought I'll get on with painting the Dining Room instead....

Mind you given our present form it will probably be a more enjoyable experience

Surrey won toss and will bat but covers just coming on.

 

[Beach Hut]

Even heavier rain and more covers on the pitch

 

[Uncle Buck]

It is rather wet at the Oval, but it is £3 a pint.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Weather due to improve, should at least get 20 overs a side.

Nice of the ECB to ban Pietersen from playing and then taking Dernbach off us.

Seems like every time we play Sussex there's a twat at the ECB removing our better players.

Should be a good game though. Depending on which Surrey side turn up.

Dockrell for Somerset just took an Ian Blackwell smash right in the painful parts.

Why has pietersen been banned from playing?

This won't end up as some stupid 'bowl at the stump' one-ball knockout, will it?

I know there is a spare day tomorrow if there is no play today. Don't know the forecast though.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Who was the last player to have played for Sussex to score a test 100 at the Oval and who was the last bowler to have played for Sussex to have taken 5 wickets in a test match innings at the Oval?

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Covers look like they're coming off and it's looking brighter. Tannoy here makes the one at Withdean good, so no idea of the timings. Nothing on the big screens as they're showing Somerset v Durham.

He needs a rest.

Obviously the likes of Prior don't.

Don't like the idea of reducing the overs after teams named and toss given.

The pitch has been setup for spin.

Surrey have 3 seamers (Linley, Arafat, De Bruyn) and 5 spinners playing (Spriegel, Schofield, Ansari, Hamilton-Brown and Batty) alongside Roy, Maynard and Steve Davies.
