Oh what a pity.

Interesting day in prospect. Will there be enough play at Notts for Worcester to win?

Good lord, I hadn't thought of that. At 4pm yesterday, it was looking like they'd go another 20 odd points ahead of us and end our season. Now thanks to a FINE Sussex rearguard and the great British weather, that Worcester advantage might only be a handful of points.

We all know it will dry up for a good few hours in Northampton, certainly enough for them to wrap the game up for a win by 7 wickets.

 

[DJ NOBO]

All jokes aside - I've only gone and started believing we can do this

Rain stops play.....391-9

Bring the noise

Unbelievable just as we were setting up the match winning score, and Lancashire convince themselves they get all the bad luck

 

[Petee]

Can someone go to Trent Bridge and start pouring some water on the wicket? Worcs win is not good at all and forecast is looking ok there.

 

[Taybha]

Still playing at Notts , Worcs need 78 with 8 wickets left

 

[Simster]

Worcs are going to win, which changes everything for us. An additional 3 points for the draw isn't much use any more, we probably need an unlikely win. Our best chance appears to be to get to 150-160 runs ahead and force Northants into a T20 style run chase in the final two hours after a rain affected day...

 

[Petee]

We'll be about 30 points behind Worcs after today with a game in hand. We need to be picking up as many bonus points as possible. Full points in the game in hand and we'll only be a handful of points behind. #KeepTheFaith

 

[Simster]

Worcs have won.


Bollocks.
