[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Thursday's weather forecast for Aigburth, Liverpool:
"Further heavy or thundery showers developing in most areas, some of them moving slowly enough to give high rainfall totals in a short time."

 

[portlander]

Rain please, and lots of it. And who on earth is SJ Magoffin?

complete newbie to cricket, how long does your average championship match last for. If i were to watch it at the county ground, how long would the ticket permit.

would love to try something new and support sussex in another way.

Scheduled for 4 days normally, result dependant on Weather etc, tickets for County Ground valid for a day, though you can buy season tickets like the footy. T20 & CB40 tickets can be bought separately as well or as a package for all home games.

An average county game is four days, except when Sussex play.......we usually lose in two, sometimes three days when we play a bad team (or if it rains).

its just not cricket but , i remember the 1st time i saw bobby zamoras name pop up as the brighton scorer on soccer saturday and thought exactly the same thing .

 

[Marxo]

Sussex won the toss and decided to FIELD. Our bowlers did well against Slurrey, Gatting and Wells did well but our senior batsmen were woeful i.e. Nash, Joyce, Goodwin and Yardy, so if they wake up and our overseas bowler chips in we should do OK.

Fascinating commentary at the moment

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Its very exciting - Monty and Murray sharing the very same changing room, that I've been SICK in. Twenty years ago, mind, so they've probably decorated since.

 

[vegster]

Good batting line up, trouble is Muzza,Joyce and Yards can't get a ball off the square so far this season.

 

[Peter Grummit]

As per normal they aren't aware the mic is open...

I thought a Magoffin was a ruse or red herring in a play or tv show ?
