Warks v Sussex (Day 3)

[El Presidente]

I hope all that you learnt from the glorious years at bin cricket is being put to good effect Max.

Although I have played few first team games this season, us old codgers can still do it!

Top bowling Kieren.

I think my bin cricket years are long gone.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Bloody hell! Noel Gallagher palys for your team, any good?

I'm thinking of getting back into cricket next season.

 

[Gwylan]

Let's just see where we are by the end of the day. Could be 75ish ahead if all goes well from here on in. Stranger things have happened....

True, anything could happen, but if Sussex win this one, I'd run naked down St James's Street singing the Albanian national anthem.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Now that I'd like to see!

 

[CHAPPERS]

And there goes Murray for 75* trapped in front by his fellow countryman Heath Streak

Prior 59*
RMJ 0*

294/5

 

[CHAPPERS]

332/5. Nearly caught up.

Expect Prior to thrash when we pass their total?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Scratch that, he's going at them already.

94 from 115 balls.

341/5

And swiftly departs for 96.

Shame.

 

[Pevenseagull]

first innings lead

350-6

50 runs for maximum bonus points (I think)

 

[CHAPPERS]

Let's hope these two can add another 30 odd and then a quick wag of the tail before a decleration leaving Warks with 5 overs to bat before close in which we'll take 2 wickets.

That is what's gonna happen.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Or not.

RMJ gone for 26.

363/7 at tea.

 

[Jim D]

If we can get another 40 or 50 we could have a good chance. The wicket is obviously getting worse and a 60-70 run lead could be crucial (unless you play for the West Indies).

 

[The Large One]

And up comes our fifth batting point. 401/8.

With the match heading for a draw, will Grizzly declare before Warwickshire get their third bowling point? (9th wicket)

 

[Pevenseagull]

that's the 400 up

Kirtley carrying on with the batting style shown in the Worcs match; moving quckly onto 16, Mushy on 18

403/8

 

[Pevenseagull]

And up comes our fifth batting point. 401/8.

With the match heading for a draw, will Grizzly declare before Warwickshire get their third bowling point? (9th wicket)

I like the cut of your jib Large One

....but it looks unlikely

(410-8 now Kirtley onto 22, Mushy 19)

 

[Pevenseagull]

Mushy out

412-9

40 runs for the 9th wicket

 

[Gwylan]

Let's just see where we are by the end of the day. Could be 75ish ahead if all goes well from here on in. Stranger things have happened....

Pretty good prediction Chappers.

 

[Pevenseagull]

the tail keeps wagging

433 - 9 now, 21 added so far for the last wicket

87 run lead

couple of Warwickshire wickets before the close and a full days play tomorrow and ...................

 

[CHAPPERS]

Well, they've surpassed my over enthusiastic prediction!

 

[Trigger]

Kirtley & Akram just keep going

Kirtley 34*
Akram 27*

Not bad for numbers 10 & 11!

451/9
