[Knightsworld]

possibility of play shortly

 

[Trigger]

5.45 start, I came home just after 4, was bored waiting around.

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Sorry to sound very thick here, but can we play under the lights to make time up in the Championship?

 

[Gazwag]

are the lights permanent at Hove or are they bought in for the night matches, cant remember

Permanent I'm sure we were the first in the country to have them installed, just not sure if we can use them for County Championship matches

Its probably against non one day matches rules, especially if not all counties have permanent lights available

Thought something like that might of been the case

Now, i must tell you what happened during the rain break at around 3.30 this afternoon... (Other than Shane Warne on the balcony chain smoking)...

There i was playing tennis ball cricket under the pavillion, i was on wicket keeper duties when who should come out to bowl with the tennis ball?... Mr Yasir Arafat... So there I was keeping wicket for Yasir Arafat... BUT... Not only that, guess who was standing right next to me?... Mr Mushtaq Ahmed... I was in heaven... I regret not stroking his beard while I had the chance though.

Truly marvellous scenes.

This sort of thing never happens at a football match. Although with McGhee in charge, who knows?

 

[timbha]

nice one, what a diference between our well run and successful cricket club and the shambles we have for football!

it took what was considered to be a revolution to get the cricket club sorted but looks at the results!

 

[Trigger]

Truly marvellous scenes.

Both Yas & Mushy said it was Salmon so ner.

Legendary!!

Players that have just won the FA Cup final of cricket and well within reach of winning the 'premiership' playing their sport on their pitch with their fans.

Can the Sussex bunch do anything wrong?!!



I am going tomorrow, even if the weather is crap. Mushy could learn a thing or two from my googlies.

That is about what time I am heading for... Grab a good bench and strawberry ice cream olive if you are there first.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Don't wear your shorts then.

I knew someone would pick up on that!

The weather doesn't look good at all.

 

[Binney on acid]

Blame Mark Mcghee - He get's the blame for everything else.
