On Sky Sports live as well
Hope we perform better than on Saturday, we weren't at the races in all three disiplines.
Long journey, but got reasonably pissed in Cardiff Saturday night

Nah, that might be pushing my luck to far for a bank holiday weekend after my sojourn to Cardiff.
Hastily trying to talk Mrs H.S. into a day at home so that I can slyly watch it on Sky, rather than going to some Bank Holiday Monday fair somewhere.

 

[Taybha]

You mean boot sale yeah ?

I heard they sold out yesterday morning to some bloke from Piddinghoe while i was chugging up the M4.
Around this rural town we have Country Fairs yaknow!

 

[Taybha]

I feel for ya going all that way and watching that tosh , can styris play today or was he just for the 20/20 games ?

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Robbo wasnt sure on Saturday, it depended if his Sri Lankan 20/20 team qualified for the semi-finals, if they didnt then he could be available.

 

[BHA Swiifty]

is there any stream for this?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

If we could get a win today, tickets would go on sale tomorrow morning for members and afternoon for public, for the semi final to be played on Saturday (reserve day Sunday).

Lets hope we come out guns blazing to prove a point, Kent are on a roll and it will be a tough game if both teams bat, bowl and field to their potential.

There is a nice one at Alfriston on the Tye Jan, not too far from Piddinghoe(LOL) and i sure Tay would enjoy it.
If he wears his Beany hat, he would look like a local country boy and he could try thowing the haybale over the bar with a pitchfork.

 

[Fran112]

Thought it was three league winners and best runner up to go the semi finals?
The other two divisions can't equal the points Sussex have now, so aren't they through already or have I got this totally wrong?

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

If points are level for best runners up, then decider is #of games won and Warks have won one more game than us
We have to beat Kent to be certain and it would also gi e us a home semi final
