Sussex v Kent @ Hove

[Lord Bracknell]

Kent 257 & 234/8 (59.2 ov)
Sussex 348
Kent lead by 143 runs with 2 wickets remaining

At 180-odd for 3, I was beginning to get slightly pessimistic about this. But we've turned things round in the last hour.

Dirty joins the party - Patel out for 12 caught Yardy

f*** OFF KENT AND f*** OFF BRIXAAN YOU MUPPET.

Good point, well made.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

... and don't you just love it when Surrey manage to reach 574/4, when it's just TOO LATE to save them?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

238 all out.

We need 148 to win.

I did feel for Mark Ramprakash as he passed 200 in the full knowledge that it didn't mean JACK.

 

[CHAPPERS]

238 all out.

We need 148 to win.

Those last two wicked stands and Mushy's 90 may have won this game for us....


*fingers crossed*

 

[Pevenseagull]

Wickets this season in the County Championship:

Mushy 80
Kirtley 59
Rana 54

 

[CHAPPERS]

Not to mention Lewry's 40 wickets at 23.35 including four 5 wicket hauls!!

 

[The Large One]

Without trawling throught the rest of the thread, if we win and Hampshire draw, I believe (but need to double and triple check) we nick second spot from Hampshire by half a point.

 

[cardboard]

12-0 off 2.4 not hanging around

 

[Pevenseagull]

Mark Ramprakash and Azhar Mahmood's batting is like something from a zombie movie where wave after wave of the undead are getting mowed down by ultimately doomed heroes

605/4

 

[Pevenseagull]

I'd like to think they both have tears in their eyes and are shouting 'YEH, YOU WANT SOME OF THIS, f*** YOU'

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hampshire look like they are going to win.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Kent 257 & 238
Sussex 348 & 17/0 (4 ov)
Sussex require another 131 runs with 10 wickets remaining

Lunch

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Hampshire look like they are going to win.

But what about the weather?

Hampshire 714/5d
Nottinghamshire 213 & 59/2 (18.4 ov) (f/o)
Bad Light Stopped Play

 

[The Large One]

Yep.

A win for us would give us 20 points making a total of 224 points.

A draw for Hampshire would give them 12 points, making a total of 223.5 points, giving us second place and an extra £40,000. Woo-hoo!

Howver, if Hampshire beat Notts, and we beat Kent, the final table would be

1. Notts 236
2. Hants 233.5
3. Sussex 224


I think I've got that right.
