Surrey v Sussex, the Oval, Wednesday

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

If you mean in the ground, they had Marsdens Pedigree on draft at the test match last weekend

Thanks for that, sounds argreeable, hoping its was something like that or Fullers rather than John Smiths.

Back on. Ramps opening a bar at the oval tonight called the 100 100's bar, let hope he has a few.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Rain has stopped play 33 for 1

may be a few days of stop start play. If one gets stuck at the Oval anyone what beer they sell at the moment.

When I was for the test we had...err... I can't remember. I must have had a few.

I want to say Carlsberg, I'm pretty sure that was the lager.

Nah, I don't know.

Wish that was our score

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Weather forecast: So-so

Ramprakash forecast: the fucker will probably get another hundred as per usual

I wish I'd had money on that now. Bugger.

Anyway -- Also pissing me off today: the sign for the Oval's 100 Hundred's (sic) bar has an incorrect apostrophe in it. Fools.

And Ramps and Murray took part in the biggest strop I've seen on a cricket field for yonks. I thought it was going to get a bit Shakoor Rana at one point. Dunno what it was about, but it started when Ramps was on 96 and I think Murray may have been standing on the wicket. Perhaps words were exchanged; perhaps Ramps thought Muzz was scuffing up the pitch. Who knows.

Not a hugely inspiring day's cricket.

Boy less than 3 an over, they wont make make max bonus points with two centurians. Need two more quick wickets ourselves for athother.

353 for 4 are Slurry after 123 overs

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

The wicket must be flat as a pancake !!!

 

[Mendoza]

at least they cant get anymore batting bonus points

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

When I was a young kid getting autographs at the county ground he told me to 'pi*s off', looked just like that, ah memories.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

All out for 455

3 for HB Gower & Nash !!!!!
