County Championship Division One, Sussex v Yorkshire at Hove, May 29-Jun 1

[Titanic]

...Looking from afar (Somerset Supporter) you seem very negative or are you taking the piss? Surely if you get last two wickets in next 20 or so minutes you'll knock the 30 or so runs off with ease?

Years of bitter experience, I am afraid.

One thing I'll say is the Yorkshire tail will just sit and block balls till the cows come home. At Taunton last week Rashid batted for about 3 1/2 hours and scored 51 off 200 odd balls.. It made Jonathan Trott look like a T20 player.

ballance hits a six.

Yorks 303-8 (lead by 28 with two wickets left)

So what's that? After 3 overs removed for the batting change if it happens, there are around 8 overs left for Sussex to bowl them out, then knock off the deficit, currently standing at 28.

I reckon we're all done if we don't knock them over before the 104th over of their innings.

We could claim an extra half hour (8 overs max?) if we can convince the umpires that we are trying to win.

Do you ever read the thread you post on?

I only ask because about ten posts ago, it was stated that you can't do that on the final day.

What has happened to Werners?? Why is n't a better bowler than wells bowling.

Parnell was darned quick yesterday

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Gritty and focussed performance from the Chips in their 2nd innings but doesn't look a good show in the field from Sussex today (albeit from behind a keyboard and with JL's commentary). With our lack of bonus points (still the lowest in Div 1?), we need the points from an additional win to compensate and this game was an opportunity missed.
And so on to the circus tomorrow.
