Sussex better not collapse today as I want to pop up there for tomorrow's play.

 

[Yes Chef]

Went on Sunday, lovely ground. £20 to get in which is excessive, but there is a CAMRA tent there so had a nice selection of beer.
Had a look at the pitch at tea and it was as flat as a pancake.
We need to bat ALL DAY, hopefully Taylor will do something at long last

 

[Peter Grummit]

Was planning to go one day in the match, but Sussex's grim form plus the scorching weather means the garden with radio commentary is my CBA preference.

Promotion gone this year.

I think you've made the right decision, 3 down now.

We are DOOMED

Ross Taylor 30*(69) and Luke Wright 30*(40) put on 52 in 12 overs before lunch... a slight change of gear from the senior pros!

Luke Wright 51* (66 balls, 6 fours, 1 six)

Is it at 200 or 150 behind that they can enforce the follow on?

Pretty sure Law 13 says 150 for 3-4 day games.

I had a horrible feeling that was the case.

Taylor not out 53 155 112

 

[Gwylan]

Wright's gone for 60. We really need to dig in for this one - someone needs to score a ton ... preferably a daddy one

 

[Titanic]

Brown out

229-5, trailing by 345, Ross Taylor 67* is joined by Chris Jordan... last hope for a bit of resistance?

 

[cooliobhafc]

Surely its heading for a draw?
