What a game! 2 wonderful days of cricket and one of the best atmospheres at a county game I can remember. Sussex should do it but Surrey are not dead yet. We need wickets quick Friday morning.
Look forward to all NSC turning up on Friday to cheer the boys home.
Good old Sussex by the sea!
Don't rule Surrey out of this - they should manage to save the follow-on now - their tail has been awesome this season, but we should have a first innings lead.
Personally, before the match I'd have been happy with a draw if we could have earned a couple more points than they did - after the first day, I'd have been disappointed with a draw and I still think we can win this.
I'm there with you in spirit tomorrow but I have to work; I'll try to go for a coffee if a stand looks particularly stubborn.
