[Taybha]

How did we win that ? tiny Sussex march on

 

[Simster]

The table is once again upside down.

Limped over the line I see....

 

[SurreySeagulls]

How very gallant of Somerset to allow their country pumpkins a win at last. This shows that sportsmanship is not dead.

 

[vegster]

Phew !... now up to 140 points in Div 1.... how many points will we need to avoid relegation ?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Superb ending there, a four and a six minutes before lunch! In the battle of the openers and who's hitting technique is the cleanest - Bangers or Nash - the Sussex man was different gravy.

At this rate we might just avoid relegation...

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Just keeping the top place warm for the REAL champions

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I've been distracted by The Ashes. Checked in to confirm another defeat only to discover this miracle.

Expect news to leak out of an all-night cider party for the Somerset players. There has to be some explanation as to why the team Chris Adams described as a "sort of benchmark team you look to be beating" could win before lunch on the third day...

Last year Lancashire were relegated second bottom with 106 points. That sort of freakish occurrence shouldn't be predicted from though - I think we are a long way from safety.

The mighty Lankyshire were relegated? I'm not sure that is allowed under the Laws of Cricket

 

[Badger]

I take it Lancashire are still playing in that SUPER LEAGUE for teams deemed to good for Div 1?
