Sussex v Worcestershire the last hope

[Moshe Gariani]

Chris Adams should be on the phone any moment now to congratulate Lancashire on winning the title..................

would be a nice gesture...

 

[CHAPPERS]

11.29am The little man is cut in half but it misses everything and flies through for four. Tucker responds next over with a glorious straight drive off Malik. The runs are coming fast. 362-7.

11.32am Four more to RMJ, this time he leans on one through mid-wicket at the top of the bounce. Little else to write about at the moment, just fours and cheers!

Sounds like it's swinging time.

irrelevant unfortunately given Lancashire's progress this morning at the Oval

You say that - but I think you're forgetting the fight for second place.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Saturday is a right arse - assuming we can just about hold them off today and tomorrow, i won't be able to applaud the boys off for their hard work in achieving third place, as i'll be at Withdean.

ok... every point is precious I suppose but with Durham certain to win against Kent I'm pretty much resigned to third...

have we lost another wicket yet?

Wet stuff falling in Worthing.

Mushi appears to have slapped 17 from 13 balls.

It's too little too late though. We've been let down by our top order yet again - not a single century between them.

 

[Timbo]

Mushy is out. Why the f*** do we keep picking him?

382-8.

But seriously, he's f***ing gash.


4 more there - 386/8

and now the first of our two number 11s goes in to bat...

So the dilemma is on saturday, about 2pm

I'll be sat at the County Ground, do I head to withdean for the soccerball are stay at the cricket and watch us win the...i mean lay down and die so lancashire get what they truly deserve

and relying on our bowlers to get us out of the mire will mean they will be too tired to bowl very well

 

[Moshe Gariani]

and Lancashire duly secure maximum bowling points as their final push for the title gathers momentum...

 

[Timbo]

Surrey have declared on 427-9.

Liddle gets a four to take us past 400.

I'm sorry... YOU WHAT?!... declared?

It is a real dilemma. Hopefully our defeat will come about early on Saturday morning, so that I have a chance to boo the players off and then head up to Withdean in good time.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Maximum batting points secured so wing away boys OR is it too dark that if we were to get al out the Worcester would be offered light so we may as well carry on batting?

I thought maximum batting points was at 450?

 

[Timbo]
