[Parson Henry]

This is sliding away from us...or am I being pessimisitic (Pessimistic Perry!!)

 

[Nobby Nomates]

Touch and go now - still think we need a lead of 350 to be sure.

 

[Pevenseagull]

pessimistic

a 300 lead is enough for Mushy to bowl at, if we were leading by 400 at the start of day 4 they would probably drop anchor and try to hang out for a draw.

300 they might set off after the win and lose a few wickets to Akram and Dirty. Mushy mops up the tail game over

or am I being optimistic?

 

[Gwylan]

This bears a remarkable similarity to the Middlesex game at Lord's last season. Two lowish scores in the first innings with a Sussex first innings lead, a Sussex collapse in the second innings, but they still set Middlesex a target of well over 300...which they manage to get with a couple of wickets in hand.

Let's hope it's not a repeat of that one.

 

[Trigger]

Dwarf gone...

Sussex lead by 281 runs with 4 wickets remaining

 

[Pevenseagull]

GO MUSHY - a whirlwind 50 run stand with MD, pick up a couple of wickets before the close and it's WIN WIN WIN

 

[Pevenseagull]

oh bugger

 

[Uncle Buck]

or get out for 0, 179-7

 

[Nobby Nomates]

Wag, Damn you! WAG!

[Trigger]

If we lose this we will be going down, i hope the players are happy with this collapse...

 

[Uncle Buck]

If we lose this we will be going down, i hope the players are happy with this collapse...

There will be no collapses on Sunday...

Agree with you Trigger...grasping defeat from the jaws of victory
