Sussex v Worcestershire, 24-27 (4 days!) LVCC, Hove

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Well at least the lads may get a tan from chasing the ball around the outfield for a day or so.

Yardy and Wright are out due to celebrations in London where it is the law they must get mulllered in Downing Street, so Ben Brown to show the rest how its done and try and hold the team together.

Just don't mention unicorns...

I am off to work so do your worst while I am gone. Oh and lets hope RMJ retirement rumours are false, we only seem to fluke a win if he plays well.

 

[Simster]

I'm done with our cricflids this season. Call me when they decide to start trying again.

I BURNT my season ticket after the Unicorns shambles.

 

[Gerbil]

We REALLY need a win here.

 

[wizo7]

Ben Brown to reproduce the magic shown against the MCC please.

 

[clarkey]

So whats the deal with Wright and Yardy?

Are they playing the remaining 3 days, and if so, can their replacements for today actively participate ie bat/bowl or are they effectively subs and can only field.

If they cant bat and we get stuck in we could be all out for nothing.

Wheres Hodd? Injured or shit?

Looking forward to seeing Browny though, keep the Eastbourne CC contingent in the side.

 

[clarkey]

Yasir leaking runs. Why is everyone bowling so many no balls this year.

Oh, and they've dropped Rayner despite his impressive performance in the last game.

What a TOTAL shambles. And sadly I'm not just saying that for the sake of it.

 

[The Wizard]

Farce. Me thinks we will lose this by at LEAST an innings.

I'm not even joking.
