So it all kicks off again ... Lancs v Sussex

[Gazwag]

I see the BBC website is up to it's usual standard, it says Surrey 66-2 on the main screen go into the scorecard we have gone back in time and they are 3-1

cricinfo are as bad, they are reporting 101/1 when surely its 10/11

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Unbelievably, Sussex are currently enjoying the best start to the new season of all the teams batting.

The Independent newspaper made a very optimistic prediction this morning of Sussex avoiding relegation in 7th place.

Obvious bollocks given that they have only got Lancashire down for a disappointing mid-table finish...

Note to commentators ... The ends at Aigburth are called the Aigburth Road End and the River End.

They want you to mail in with this info. Go on claim the glory.

What's the etiquette here? Can we be positive during the lunch / tea breaks, or do we need to remain cautiously pessimistic throughout?

I have, from a reliable source, that Robbo would have been happy with 220 on this strip, so all in all, a good solid start

You are perfectly at liberty to be positive, if you are able to find any tiny crumb of comfort in this HOPELESS situation, to be positive about.

108 runs from edges and extras I expect. No way we'll get anywhere near 150. Lanky are literally TOYING with us.

Apparently it knocked over all 3 stumps which I don't think I have ever seen.

At a glance, 123/2 looks almost decent but on closer inspection of the scorecard you can clearly tell it is a load of bollocks and that someone in Liverpoool is taking the piss.

Scouse wit: I know, we'll tell everyone that Sussex are batting well.

Well you thick bindippers, I'm not fooled. Your crappy made up scorecard has Saj Mahmood with no wickets and 44 runs against his name in his first 12 overs. You'll have to do better than that to catch us out.

I know it's only based upon a single knock this season, but is it 1 season and a Division too high for Murray now? (Goodwin not Glenn).

When we were last in Div 1 he had a poor season.
