Sussex v Lancashire Day One Thread...

[Don Tmatter]

Points of interest in this game:-

Chris Adams needs 149 runs for 15,000 career runs
Tim Ambrose needs 28 runs for 2,000 career runs

Well, there's always the 2nd innings

 

[Gwylan]

Though it pains me to say it, arguably the weather scuppered Lancs last season though - they had loads of rain and bad light affected draws, without which they might have pipped the mighty Sussex. So it can even itself out.

That doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Lancs used to moan that they'd been hit by the weather until some statto examined the facts and found that Lancashire had only suffered in two games because of the weather, the same as Sussex.

Now, THAT has brought a smile to my face.

Main Scoreboard and Commentary

 

[The Large One]

Akram's going to have to sort out his no balls. And don't bother with the eunuch puns, this is serious.
