[Simster]

Well we shouldn't lose from here. What do you think, bat for an hour?

I think that could be the plan.

 

[Trigger]

What a lovely afternoon at the County Ground, definitely bat for 40/50 runs in the morning than send Jase & Yas out to bowl em over all guns blazing!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Nobody seems to have noticed that - as things stand - we've overtaken Lancashire at the top of the table.



And if Kent can bat all day, it'll be a draw at Canterbury.

Kent 1st Innings
285 all out (93.4 overs)

Hampshire 1st Innings
554 for 7 (145.3 overs)

Kent 2nd Innings
29 for 0 (12.0 overs)

'tis true LB. However, we need the win big time, so I cannot share your celebration. This time tomorrow though, things may be different.

Hope we don't bat too long tomorrow, and (if we do bat) we treat it like 20-20. No more than half an hour though, please.

 

[SeagullTim]

Going tomorrow, is anyone else?

 

[Trigger]

The good news is Robbo is hopeful of Mushy taking some part with the ball today...

Providing we don't bat too long this morning I plan to go this afternoon.

 

[Barry Izbak]

I'm getting down there from the start. I think we'll bat no longer than an hour, if that, and then it'll be just like a one dayer as we chase them all out.

I'm so pleased it coincides with a day I can get down there. I'm afraid it comfortably beats Rotherham away.

Damn right it does... Half an hour is exactly what I was thinking on the way out yesterday, hopefully pile on 40/50 quick ones, which is very likely when you think we have Yasir & Wrighty at the crease with RMJ still to come, I doubt Mushy will bat because they will want him fresh from his injury and I doubt Lewry will bat either because they will want him steaming in all guns blazing, they'll either whack the ball for half an our or until they are 8 down I would guess.

 

[Trigger]

Really wasn't expecting that but Sussex declared last night, Lancs in first thing this morning currently 7/0 from 5 overs.

 

[Common as Mook]

One down.

Sutcliffe ctPrior B Arafat.

 

[Mackenzie]

Really wasn't expecting that but Sussex declared last night, Lancs in first thing this morning currently 7/0 from 5 overs.

This probably is due to us running out of time versus Kent not so long ago....good move really, it goves Lancs a sniff so they'll be positive I would think and hopefully we'll create a few chances because of it. Game on.

 

[butchy]

is mushy on yet?

 

[Wardy]

Also more chance of picking up some bowling points.

Bonus points are only awarded for the first innings....

 

[Jesus Gul]

what the....?

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Yeah Cricinfo and the BBC seem to have lost the Sussex second innings and have given Wancashire a shitload of runs!
