Sussex v Middlesex County Championship Hove

[BensGrandad]

Lunch Day 3

Sussex 20-0 (Yardy 12*, Nash 7*)

267 runs or 10 wickets to wrap up the win... I know who my money is on!

IF big IF they can bat most of the afternoon your money may be not looking so good.

He certainly ticks all the boxes - private school, double-barrelled name, plays at Lords, on first name terms with Straussy.

Not sure about the double barreled name. We haven't had many of those.

Anyone got the link to the BBC commentary? I cannot find it today and want to listen to Sussex knocking these runs off.

A digression - does anyone know whether the Sussex CCC has a motto?

If not I propose "Intercluderent aut mori" which, according to Google Translate, means "Block or Die".

Good point. I don't think England have had a double-barreled named player since I've been watching cricket. Cant even think who the last one was - unless you count Raman Subba Row (and that's not really double-barreled)

"Erant solutus" which roughly translated means "were loose".

Thank you SIr! 41 for 0

I would love Sussex to get the total, impossible though it is, just to see what that one-eyed commentator from Middlesex says.

His colleague thinks he is the funniest person alive.

It doesn't: it means "they block off or to die"

You'd need to use the imperative: Intercludete aut Morimini or better still, the subjunctive

I think oppilare would be the better verb though

You need Rex Cathedra here

This motto thing is tricky. I appreciate your benign pedantry.

Machan 20 off 18 balls. Has he forgotten the club motto - "Intercluderent / oppilare aut mori"??
