[Uncle Buck]

99-3

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Sami Gets another !!!! 99/3

 

[keaton]

Another for Sami 99-3

 

[CHAPPERS]

These two, Chanderpaul and Benkenstein, are the big wickets. Hopefully Mo has got his tail up now.

 

[REDLAND]

Ive been quite impressed with Sami, what chance of keeping onto him

Surrey officially relegated today!

How the mighty have fallen. The four leading counties in terms of county championship wins are, in order, Yorkshire, Surrey, Middlesex and Lancashire. Middlesex went down two years ago, and have stayed down, Surrey are definitely going down, and either Yorkshire or Lancashire will join them. In football terms, that's the equivalent of Arsenal playing in the lower tier with ManUtd and either Liverpool or Everton to join them next season! Great stuff. Combine that with the fact out of the 4 counties never to have won it, one is currently top of the table and another is currently favourite to win it (with their game in hand), it's refreshing to see a sporting competition which actually feels quite open.

the commentators were really slating him on TV the other night saying how awful his test record is and how slower bowler is now is. Hopefully he can prove them wrong in his ability

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

The best we can hope for is a draw out of this game now.

I hope thats enough !!

 

[Storer68]

Treat.

My psychology class is an absolute dream by the way, 80% of the class are girls, and all but two of them would be more than welcome in my sack.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Kent chasing around 170 to beat Lancs.

Lancashire all out for 288

Why isn't Collymore playing?

I'm assuming we're trying to secure a draw, we were a batsmen light last match, and if we get two draws we stay up

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I see the Gilligan Stand is to be no more (probably).

Sussex's eyesore stand could soon be gone (From The Argus)

Fond memories of coaching in the nets with Pat Hale and Keith Greenfield.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

great view from the gilligan stand

 

[Mendoza]

380 all out

Now just knock 550 by the lunch tomorrow and bowl them out for 120 in the final 2 sessions, job done!!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Kent 10/2 off 7 overs.

153 to win...

 

[whitelion]

I see the Gilligan Stand is to be no more (probably).

One of my first jobs was Ashdown Court (behind the stand) and the stand itself. Think it was summer of '72?

Have fond memories of popping into the pub for beers during the hot summer and following Sussex to Lords for a cricket final. *The Gillette Cup I think. Trying to get into the Playboy Club near there after the game.

*Anybody know for sure?
