Northants v Sussex county championship div 2 Mahoosive game starts today .

[DJ NOBO]

Hurrah - Bad light - I am far away tonight but may the rain Gods hurl it down in Northamptonshire for two days.

Roughly translates - bring your factor 15 if you're heading to the game

 

[studio150]

Only rain forecast over the next two days is after play tomorrow and at about 4 on Friday. However I fully expect Northants to win just after lunch tomorrow

Have we lost yet

 

[Taybha]

86-1 a mere 168 runs behind .

 

[DJ NOBO]

Robson edging towards a half century . Which means he's due out at any minute now

 

[Petee]

Forecast does not look good for tomorrow so we've got a chance of a draw here.

 

[Simster]

102/2.


Van Zyl the last to fall (86/2)

Yes, chance of an early finish today and then showers tomorrow afternoon. Forecasting any cricket match, let alone a Sussex one, is difficult but if we assumed 120 overs more play then a Sussex win would seem almost impossible and we'd need to bat for around 100 overs to secure a draw.

On paper we have depth to our batting order - fingers crossed that two or three of them have a good knock.

Robson 50*

Is anyone listening the commentary - very intermittent here in France via the BBC and tune in radio BBC Live Events 1-15 do not seem to be broadcasting it either.

Cheers - TMS blocked in France unfortunately - all the links I have found are silent (although would rather be listening to Sussex)

Blast from the past - we used to have an old Roberts out here but its now back in Brighton - in the wrong place

A small moral victory before the post lunch crash


Lunch - Sussex trail Northamptonshire by 118 runs with 8 wickets remaining

Get all your money on it

It's inevitable that the Northants bowlers will get the ball to reverse buffet

Commentary back on. Should be comfortable listening as Nash and Robson progress serenely this afternoon.
