Sussex V Northants, Tue 7th- Fri 10th

[The Large One]

Championship Points

Win: 16, Tie: 8, Draw: 3

Batting bonuses:
200-249 runs - 1pt
250-299 runs - 2pts
300-349 runs - 3pts
350-399 runs - 4pts
400 and over - 5pts

Bowling bonuses:
3-5 wkts - 1pt
6-8 wkts - 2pts
9-10 wkts - 3pts

Bonus points apply for first 110 overs of the first innings only

So even if Glam win they only get 21pts taking them to 210 leaving them 31 pts behind us a gap impossible to make up in one game with only a max of 24 pts to win.

Am i wrong?

Yes.

Them on 210 means they would be 21 points behind, not 31.

 

[Perry Milkins]

I was working on BoFs calculus. Since spotted his and my gaffe and amended.

So, just to confirm, if Glamorgan don't win we're champions?

 

[Badger]

Spare a thought for poor old Lancashire the "true" champions who have once again missed out on the Division 1 title, obviously the fault of the weather.

I know i'm joshing

incidentally it's incredibly hard to read how people mean things they write. That is the problem with text messages too. It also doesn't allow for the use of paralanguage. But I won't go into it - i'll bore you for hours

1411: By my calculations, Sussex cannot be crowned champions until we know the result of Glamorgan's game. They might want to use some of their prize money from promotion to repair the Hove press box, though, following an assault by one of the Northants batsmen.

Last time the press box will be used as they are moving to the new one next season. Northants just applying for the licence to demolish the old one, unless its being converted to flats or a corporate hospitality box.

Great day today and the weather was beautiful although it's pissing down now.

Great day today and the weather was beautiful although it's pissing down now.

Was a fantastic performance from Sussex and hopefully a championship winning one.

Could not believe the weather, walked the dog after getting home and was soaked to the skin. So to win in under 3 days was also a plus.

Glamorgan still trying for that second batting point 240/9 (63.1 ov)

Glamorgan trail by 140 runs with 1 wicket remaining in the 1st innings

If they only draw are we still champions or do they have to lose, would be good to play Wells and one of the young bowlers up a Worcestershire next week, especially of they could still pip Glamorgan with a win so will be up for a good game.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

back out at the oval & Glam look like they are going to get another point

 

[Gwylan]

If they only draw are we still champions

Yes

Please accept my...

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes

Hurrah on three counts

I do not have to do the math

I do not have to re read a thread to see if it has already been mentioned

The Glamogan game has draw written all over it so we are the champions

 

[Taybha]

Chant of the day was "Is she really going out with him?" from the beer garden of the Cricketers as Brenda left with a gentleman friend.

Good luck to Brian the gate opening man in his retirement
