Unless he fancies one of Hove's finest kebabs

Notts effort at this Sussex-homage is superb. From 100/5 to 542/8! Spectacular.

Now to achieve peak Sussexness, they just need to try to end the day about 40/4

Lovely stuff

Notts 65/5

Ohhh and its Patel

We need the new season to start next week.

What do Notts need to happen to go up, they must have blown the title by now

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

F*ck me we're destroying them, five down now.

With Northants having passed Leics first innings total 2 down, Notts are right royally choking

 

[Taybha]

Notts must make 400 in their 1st innings in 110 overs or win to gain promotion (I think )

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Pitch must be a road.

No road for Notts - now 65-5
Get into 'em

Hampshire are doing a good job of trying to get themselves to division 2 as well at 93 for 6

93/7

Lovely stuff

EDIT: Did I say 7? I meant 102/8

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Just popped out and then we are off with 11 overs to play

Still lets hope our bowlers rest and get into them in the morning

Get the feeling Notts may not go up

Close - Nottinghamshire trail Sussex by 457 runs with 5 wickets remaining

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hmmm, it wasn't THAT dark surely but I guess we have no real time pressures here. Incredible days play.

We can't say too much about choking as we still had a chance of going up until the Northants game.

we had a chance, but Notts have choked.

Although its partly because after destroying other teams early in the season, Broad has been whisked away for England for the rest of the summer

 

[Gwylan]

We can't say too much about choking as we still had a chance of going up until the Northants game.

Losing to Northants was a setback but we still had a chance of going up until the Derbyshire game - losing that one (only their second win of the season) did for us.

I'm trying to think if Sussex have ever had a worse specialist batsman. I'm sure they've had in the past when someone who just went to the right school would go out to have a bash, but in the professional era? Hard to think of anyone ... and I remember Jerry Groome and the Hoadley brothers. Evans makes them look like Bradman.

On batting merit he should go in at 9 or 10. No way ahead of archer
