All this going on while Lancs are in for tea, probably watching it all on ceefax.

Last over before tea.

You have been saying that for the last half hour

 

[Basil Fawlty]

You have been saying that for the last half hour

This is definitely the last over.

perhaps his browser got stuck yesterday afternoon....

he's hungry, its actually his mum he's telling

 

[Pevenseagull]

Framks looks really, really pestered

 

[Mr Blobby]

Typical - go to a meeting for 2 hours, read the two score cards when I get back and discover the trophy must be on its way to the Rose Bowl for Champions elect Lancashire.

Another dire season for Sussex, how can they let it get this bad

 

[Pavilionaire]

Mushy on fire Notts lose 3 quick wickets, they haven't seen a smash and grab raid like that in these parts since Robin Hood!

144-7.

 

[Pevenseagull]

wouldn't it have been a good idea for us to have thrown a few wickets away so Notts got their bolwing points - then they might not have batted with such steel and focus this afternoon


ROBBO OUT

 

[Titanic]

I've been away for an hour (at a meeting) and come back to this pitiful shambles.

Sort it out Sussex or the faint hope of catching Lancs wil be lost

 

[The Oldman]

This won't do Sussex. Taking time out for tea. Only Champions should do that

 

[Tricky Dicky]

What's the follow-on figure in the champ'ship ?

 

[Pevenseagull]

the champions elect have Hants 149/4

we just did Notts 1/4

no wonder we're losers

 

[Tricky Dicky]

150 behind

Cool, Ta.
