Sussex take on Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One at hove

[Papa Lazarou]

Balls - Luke Wells falls for 11.

 

[brightonmark1234]

44-1

 

[Papa Lazarou]

We've ground to a halt now. 1 run in 4 overs. Looks like a draw is our best chance now.

Yardy goes for 14. 55/2

I'd prefer us to smash the Notts bowling all over the park and win at a canter.

We need the team of '85 - bring me Garth Le Roux and Imran Khan quick before we fall apart completely.

I'm sure it's an unpaid role

Fringe benefits...

Is there room in that tight little commentary box?

Does she scream for a policeman every time Leesy mentions a full toss or googly?

 

[brightonmark1234]

95 for 3

 

[Simster]

Hard to see beyond yet another crushing defeat.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Something like 45 overs left to survive.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Pathetic capitulation!

If we want to win the Championship, we should have taken Notts on at 4.5 an over - instead, played negatively from the start in pursuit of three points.

Rubbish!

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Luke Wright out for a duck now. Rubbish.

 

[Simster]

We will be skittled for 160.

Looking good!

 

[brightonmark1234]

5 down now with nash and wright out

 

[brightonmark1234]

why didn't we try and go for it and not try and defend

 

[tinycowboy]

why didn't we try and go for it and not try and defend

We ARE doing that - we didn't try and go for it, and we're not trying to defend. They're giving us the crushing disappointment we crave.

So any chance of rain at Hove?
