*Lancashire v Sussex, Aigburth, County Championship - Division One, 12-15 April 2012*

[jakarta]

This is a fiendishly cunning plan on the Wet Boys part, wonder which one is going to hit the double century tomorrow?

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

39/3

 

[Storer 68]

Lancashire 124 & 39/3 (13.4 ov)

Sussex 300

Lancashire trail by 137 runs with 7 wickets remaining

Funny how short of runs they are now Stuart Law can't score his customary century against us

This Aussie chap is doing alright, isn't he?

He's clearly signed for the wrong county, and we will subsequently be docked 50 points for fielding an iledgible player.

No but I am starting to hear rumours of a betting scam involving an Aussie bowler that no-one has ever heard of

[Fourteenth Eye]

Shabash!!!

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I'm beginning to think we may just scrape a draw out of this.

You must be new

This is so tense, I wouldn't want us to chase anything more than single figures batting last on this pitch...

 

[Storer 68]

This is just an absolute feckin shambles. Someone should be taken out and shown how to hit a ball with a bat!!

This.

If we can get three more wickets by close of play I think it really will be game on. In fact, we might even be favourites.

I say old chap , I'd use less gin in your G&Ts if i were you.

Lancs will probably ask for the extra half hour
