Sussex v Worcestershire the last hope

[pasty]

I've just spent ten days in Italy - the home of the sporting conspiracy. Maybe you're right.

But maybe you're wrong.

Not forgetting I'm sure Slurrey would like to keep their "Last County to win back-to-back Championships" record. 1999 & 2000

Or Tie, Lord B. Although highly unlikely.

Is anyone else who's listening to the commentary getting seriously annoyed with the ringtone of John Lees' mobile phone?

Grrrrr...

very annoying indeed, I did like his comment, when someone rang him and he said "yep we'll rap up it by tomorrow morning", whilst the other fella was trying to describe Mitchell driving into the covers!

Why don't you ring him up and tell him!

Do Surrey get more money the higher up the table they finish? If so, they won't be taking any risks at all.

This is what i was thinking

If we are going to tie with Worcestershire, some very odd things will have to happen.

But it would all probably happen after the Yeovil game is over. I think I might book a taxi from Withdean, just on the off-chance.

No. It's £100k for the winners and £40k for second. Bugger all for anyone else.

Just to let you know this is now the 24th most replied to thread, but still only the 4th most replied to cricket thread.

I could only guess on the cricket list above this thread are;

Other two championships

Cup Final last year at Lords

20/20 final

Someone post his number up on NSC and I'll do it. I'm not sure if he normally accepts calls from the UAE though.

Not much really, and they wonder why professionals like the Nevilles choose football over Cricket

Mushtaq off!

 

[nwgull]

BBC shows that Ramps is now 20 off his target with Slurry 407 ahead, reckon they'll declare when he gets it with a lead of only 450
