Sussex v Worcestershire the last hope

[nwgull]

My mate who is obviously bored at work sent me this info.

Now my maths may be wrong but as Lancs are 5 down, I’ll run this scenario by you. Should they get less than 300 first innings and go onto lose, then I think we could afford to draw and win on the number of wins during the season. 3 + 2 points for them, 5 + 3 + 4 points for us; the difference is currently 6, so they would be level on points.

Is this right that we could win the championship by default?

yes, but we also have to rely on Durham failing to beat Kent, which looks unlikely at the moment.

I'm getting concerned, the Worcs. batsmen seem to be doing a solid job

Mushy has the 1st of his 23 needed for his century
79 for 1

 

[Marshy]

I told you were shit, we will be lucky to get 3 out before they race past our score

 

[Knightsworld]

I'll let him know he totally overlooked Durham.

If Lancs get another 100 runs they will not follow on (Surrey might decide not to enforce it anyway) so I would be surprised if Lancs dont get a draw, on that pitch they could probably spend Saturday just blocking every ball, if what is a dead match for Surrey.

I only way we will win the championship is to beat Worcs IMO

Worcs 79-1. Moore no more.

Bowling Mushy!

C'mon..

I hope Lancs do follow on, that eliminates any potential for Slurry to make a sporting declaration in the 2nd innings.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Agreed

 

[CHAPPERS]

2 down! Lewry strikes.

Hick in.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Pie-eater out at Canterbury [obviously still hungry after tea]. Kents 2 down, still 40 behing Durham.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Hick will score a minimum of 300 against our WOEFUL attack.

 

[Pavilionaire]

So Worcs now 84-2, M Ali gone for 1, Lewry with the knockout blow there...

 

[Gazwag]

18 to go

 

[Everest]

Lancs 205-7

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Off for bad light now - presumably because it is too dangerous for the fielders, with Hick SMASHING it everywhere?

 

[unnameable]

Lancs cannot moan about the weather this year. We've had the worst of it.

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's dark and raining a bit. Shouldn't think they'll get back on.

 

[unnameable]

Bright blue sky in Oxford now.

 

[Everest]

Wanks are now 206 - 8
