Sussex v Worcestershire the last hope

[The Large One]

Lancs need 462 off 96 overs @ 4.81 per over.

 

[Statto]

Just got back and a superb day at the county ground. 5 wickets tomorrow and the chapionship is surely ours.

 

[The Oldman]

Lancs need 462 off 96 overs @ 4.81 per over.

If the Lankies pull this off they deserve to be Champions. However, I believe I watched the present and the next Champions at Hove today. Considering we are without certain key players I thought today's performance was outstanding.

Just hope we wrap it up by lunch so we can nip over to Withdean.

 

[Jack Hackett]

I'm worried, very worried. Highly improbable it may be that Wancs can do it, but Law and Laxman are capable of anything. I was willing that twat Butcher to bat until Doomsday and am baffled as to why they didn't. Going to have to start drinking early tomorrow to calm the nerves, first Strongbow 1030 County Ground, half pissed by time of arrival at Withdean.

 

[Ernest]

HAVING weighed up all the INPONDERABLES of BOTH games I CONFIDENTLY predict that Lancashire will be CROWNED champions by Saturday afternoon.

I am not remotely worried. We will be champions by the time we get to Withdean. Wancs will choke - again - and will have a long bus ride back to Mankashire to come up with some original reasons why they f***ed up. Again.

That's not to say I won't be having my first John Smiths at 10.30 at the County Ground, and will most likely also be under the influence by the time I get to the football

Weather forecast at Hove tomorrow is good
Championship secured

 

[Gwylan]

I think it's a clever declaration. I'd far rather bowl at a side with a slight whiff of a chance than one which knows it's batting for a (useless) draw.

But as Lancs need the win,they'd be forced to go for it if they needed 550 off 80 overs, say.

I think Surrey could have made them chase 20 more... just to calm our nerves a little.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I don't fancy our chances. It is do or die for Lancashire and they have the batsmen to do it. I also think we are going to struggle to knock over the Worcs lower order.

We have blown it.

 

[SNOOBS]

I am confident

What time is the start tomorrow

 

[Everest]

10.30 I believe

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

well done lancs
our boys put up a good fight but at the end of the day were left wanting

 

[Peter Grummit]

5 in the morning and I can't sleep. Must be the prospect of the Championship finally returning to its spiritual home in the soggy northwest....
Cloudy but dry in Lewes

[dougdeep]

Could get interesting if we have to bat again.

 

[Trigger]

One can only congratulate Lancuntshire on the fine weather they have had this season, however, I shall be heading off to Hove for the start of play, runners up is still quite an achievement.

 

[Barry Izbak]

Beautiful morning in Hove. Set fair for having Worcs out by lunchtime.
See you down there

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Nice morning in NW GOSBTS too; c'mon Sussex.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Lancs need 462 today, which unless Surrey start bowling long hops and rank full tosses , is a score too high. Anyway Salisbury will ensure that fairness reigns. Last day of any four day match requiring 462 to win ? No no no it will not happen.

Mushy will wrap up the 5 wickets needed by noon today, only concern yesterday was the weather forecast, which I am glad to see is set fair according to both BBC and Met Office.

So three Championships in 4 years and more importantly one County is continually raising the performance bar and therefore the overall quality of County Cricket.

WELL DONE SUPER SHARKS I SALUTE YOU.
