Sussex take on Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One at hove

[Pavilionaire]

And another, 84-5, the Sussex buffet car is now open. Help yourself, Salmon Pate, whoops, I mean Samit Patel....

Chris Read is the sort of batsman wicket keeper that Matt Prior can only dream of being.

Sadly he passed the port the wrong way at an MCC Dinner a few years ago and has been blackballed by the Selectors ever since.

Hang on - is this the same Chris Read that tried to head away a Yorker when playing for England? He's a batting god - we have no chance.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Sadly he passed the port the wrong way at an MCC Dinner a few years ago and has been blackballed by the Selectors ever since.

Or may have had something to do with him storming back on to the pitch after he'd been given out and bad-mouthing Mushy at Hove a few years back. Cheating P**i B*****d was the phrase I heard.

Sussex clutching at straws... Monty is on

Notts 98-5 (40 overs)

 

[Pavilionaire]

Ton up Notts. The only surprise is it's taken them 41 overs.

I haven't mentioned this before but I feel cruelly robbed. Had Notts Kiwi all-rounder Andre Adams been fit for this match we might have had the ultimate tabloid 'love triangle' dismissal:

Jordan c. Reid b. Andre

112-6 Read dismissed, no doubt by another cheating b*****d?

Is it the same Chris Read at Lords against New Zealand, who " lost one " in the air and jumped up and was bowled under his legs ?

 

[Taybha]

Super surrey must be very happy they offloaded no hoper Jordan

 

[Titanic]

Notts 112-6

Read tickles Katie Brown's behind.

Jordan 13-5-32-4

Expensive

 

[Pavilionaire]

I remember the "bouncer" Read ducked under that was nothing more than a looping full toss which clattered into his stumps as he was cowering. Face like Wayne Rooney's "slightly more intelligent but still thick as sh1t" older brother.

 

[Pavilionaire]

With 11 off his last over Jordan needs to get a grip. Another 20 minutes of batting and Notts could be out of sight.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Think we'll struggle to avoid the follow-on, although with Nash and RHB playing themselves into form last night we may yet have a chance.

Patel tucking in to another boundary, he certainly is an all round player....

Patel tucking in to another boundary, he certainly is an all round player....

I think he enjoys being paired with Franks although, to be fair, he'd be just as happy with Chipolatas, Wursts or any other kind of banger you'd care to offer him.

12 runs off the over and Patel gets his fifty.

Notts now imposing themselves on the plucky underdogs, it has taken a while but class will out...

 

[Pevenseagull]

not enjoying this anymore, 55 off of the last 10 overs FFS

 

[Titanic]

not enjoying this anymore, 55 off of the last 10 overs FFS

and Monty has bowled 5 of those 10 overs for just 6 runs. The rich selection available at the other end is enough to make anyone feel pretty sick.
