Sussex v Wancashire (2nd - 5th Aug)

[Basil Fawlty]

That is superb.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Excellent session! A lead of 97. What should we declare at? (Assuming we find ourselves in that position)

 

[Trigger]

Bear in mind we are a player down for the rest of this match and maybe longer/the season by the looks of it (hopefully it looked worse than it was).

 

[CHAPPERS]

Need a lead of at least 300. They have some VERY dangerous batsmen and with Mushy seemingly injured we'venot really got a spin threat for the last day. Bat today out, see where we are and maybe another hour tomorrow depending how far ahead we are.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

37/1

CD Hopkinson c Law b Keedy 14

So I guess the pitch is really turning now. Any news on Mushy?

156 ahead with 8 wickets left. This could be a bit of a cracker. Should we go for it, when/if we get a lead of 280+?

I think we will be very conservative, bearing in mind how easily Lancs chased over 300 last week, and the fact that if we lose this it is all over. expect a target of 350 sometime tomorrow morning.

 

[John Boy]

Sussex lead by 217 runs with 8 wickets remaining

 

[Scoffers]

Still no update on Mushy then

Agree. We need a blistering final session tonight to set up a winnable declaration, otherwise the draw still looks likely.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

A lead of 255. Murray seems to be opening up the face of the bat a bit....

 

[Zed Seagull]

Pushin on now! 287 of a lead.

 

[John Boy]

Over an hour left today, come on Sussex!

 

[John Boy]

Well played Murray Goodwin

101*

 

[Zed Seagull]

How much can we put on tonight?

 

[John Boy]

Goodwin out for 103

211/3, lead of 308
