[Cricket] Good news for Sussex fans

[Sid in the Sharknado]

Two off us replied to Max's tweet, asking Andrew Sampson and Andy Zaltzman.

So it is battle between THEM now, as far as I am concerned...

I assume they're both members of the Association of Cricket Statisticians... hang on



Anyway, I assume they're both members of that, so if they get a different answer they need to update their website.

We're going to lose this by an innings, aren't we?

An innings defeat to both Leics and Derbys? The shame of it

I’m trying to think of an equivalent, if that happens.
In county cricket terms, I’m not sure it could get much worse.
Leics and Derbys are themselves whipping boys.
Two innings defeats.
I’m thinking Sudbury Town.

It’s bad.

Well we haven't lost yet, but yes, it's a ****ing disgrace. And very, very sad.

It's one thing to get left behind by the Test/Hundred counties, but to end up as vastly inferior to the likes of Leicester and Derbyshire, the counties supposedly on the same level as us .... , well, words fail me. Disgraceful and sad as I said.

 

[DJ NOBO]

They should get rid of Adrian Harms.
Whenever he commentates we lose.
He’s bad luck.

Yes, yes we are

 

[Mackenzie]

My goodness, I don’t think much more can be said about our county cricket team. So disappointing.

 

[Gwylan]

Yes, yes we are

No, no we're not

 

[Luke93]

No, no we're not

By the skin of our teeth unfortunately.

Ideal scenario I'm hoping plays out in Division 1:

1. Lancs chase down 196 to beat Hants, which is looking quite likely - Hants tears
2. Warks get a motor on to set Somerset a decent target and bowl them out in 2 sessions tomorrow - Lancs tears

I'm watching the Lanky hants game now. 44 to win, in very gloomy conditions. 5 wickets left. Great drama.

THREE runs to win. TWO wickets remaining...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

9 down - 2 to win

 

[Badger]

TWO runs to win. ONE wicket remaining! Madness

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Bloody HELL!

ONE run behind. ONE wicket left. Number 11 on strike.

A wicket now means Hampshire win the title.

Two runs mean Lancashire will probably win it.

A TIE means Nottinghamshire can still win it.

Amazing

 

[Badger]

That single at the end of the last over is looking poor.

WTF was he thinking!?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Lanky win, by one wicket.

What a game.

 

[Badger]

That was a great finish.

Now, over to you Warks. 119-1 is a good start.

 

[Change at Barnham]

That was a great finish.

Now, over to you Warks. 119-1 is a good start.

So Warwickshire need to bat the first session tomorrow and try and smash another 150ish, and then they would have two sessions to bowl out Somerset for below about 250?

If Warwickshire can pull that off they become champions.
If they don't, then Lancashire are champions.

Have I got that about right?
