County Championship Division One, Sussex v Middlesex at Hove, Jul 17-20, 2013

Well he's at lords, so I doubt he'll play.

He is travelling down to join Middlesex to play at Hove - confirmed by Finn himself on BBC.

Middlesex are proving that this pitch is unplayable.

Ish. You're not allowed in till tea has finished.
I was made to wait once till the first ball of the third session had been bowled but he might not have liked my face.

Pleased to report I had no such problems. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I was looking forward to tomorrow. Not such an appealing prospect at the moment.

No Declaration ?? oddballs

So is Finn really allowed to play for Middlesex in this game? I can understand if he'd been named in the team in case and it was the first day but this is just silly

Depends on your viewpoint I guess. As far as the ECB is concerned the county game is only really here to serve the international game. It's made for a stronger England.

338-4 , Happy days .

 

[Daffy Duck]

Oh well, we can always hope for a bit of rain.

 

[Ravids]

One of the worst day of cricket I've ever witnessed.

Ripping through them now , 478-6

 

[Ravids]

496 all out! Might have to head down to the ground for the afternoon and evening sessions, comeback is on the cards here.

Very much this. My plan is to get down there tomorrow after tea and watch Monty make life uncomfortable for Middlesex as they try and stave off defeat.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Sussex need at least 450 in the second innings to have any hope of drawing the match.

 

[TSB]

46-4 eh? Good effort

 

[Simster]

46-4 eh? Good effort

Sweet Jesus.

Bunch of useless

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Have we gone into this game, over confident?
