Sussex v Lancashire @ Hove Day 3

[Gwylan]

It's raining in sarf London at the moment - is it raining down there as well? I'm really looking forward to a day at the cricket so it had better stop.

Mrs Gwylan has changed her mind and is coming to the cricket with me - so I don't think I'll be able to sit with the rest of the NSCers

I'll look out for you to say hello though.

As for the cricket, Sussex need a couple of early wickets and a first innings lead, bat all day and set them around 400 for tomorrow... and then Mushy bowls them out.

 

[Trigger]

There is a bit of a light grey cover down here at the mo but no rain as yet, fingers crossed it stays away!
Come On Sussex!!!
Come On Mushy!!!

 

[El Presidente]

It's sunny in Manchester, so Lancashire should be fine

 

[Gwylan]

It's sunny in Manchester, so Lancashire should be fine

Brilliant El Pres, I see today's students are in safe hands

 

[Trigger]

Sun popping out down here now Gwylan

 

[El Presidente]

Gwylan

I am on clearing today, so letting anyone in with either 2C's or anything bigger than a 34C Cup, so Guy Butters has a chance

 

[Gwylan]

Excellent El Pres.

It's clearing up a bit now - look forward to a good day there.

 

[Trigger]

Lancs currently 363/9 in reply to Sussex's 385

Mushy 5 wickets Taylor 3 & Davis 1

Bang goes my BA in Editorial Photography then.
Best I get down to the cricket instead...

Oh go on, she'll be in very civilised company today!

 

[El Presidente]

Don't fret Roz, size does not matter

 

[Trigger]

Lancs 377 all out...

God took 6/124
Well played Sir Mushy

 

[Lord Bracknell]

A lead of 8 runs. It hardly seems worth two whole days, does it?

Let's start again.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Don't fret Roz, size does not matter

That's boosted morale, if nothing else. And hey, who needs a B cup when you've got an impressive range of F-stops?

But the sun's come out now AND Mushy remains King.

 

[El Presidente]

Goodwin out second ball

 

[El Presidente]

A bit of digital manipulation can always boost your cup size Roz

 

[Lord Bracknell]

2/2

MW Goodwin c Sutcliffe b Martin 1
PA Cottey c Hegg b Martin 0



Now the recovery starts. Adams and Monty batting.

7/2 (4 overs)

 

[Trigger]

Thats that, still a top 3 finish is beyond what i expected... I'll take 3rd

 

[Beach Hut]

Looks unlikely a result now unless Mushy has a blinder tomorrow.

 

[The Oldman]

I was there but where were the rest of you?
Anyway looks a bit like a draw unless Mushi really works his magic and we need Adams to quickly pile on the runs in the morning.
Can't really see us catching flipping Surrey ......aka supporters of a certain footie team in that part of the woods....not unless the weather gods do their stuff and stop Surrey getting maximum points each match.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

We was there! As was storer68. Although some sort of record has to have been set for the time it took to play the last 12 overs. Bloody disgraceful! Nearly as disgraceful as the Old Northern Git in the Pink Shirt ...
