Good to see the weather won't interfere but tosses are going to be very important.

Warks really need to win. Seems strange that our 2 defeats have been to 2 of the bottom 3.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Anyone heading up to Durham?

 

[larus]

If we can avoid losing this week, and get the same bonus points as Durham, I would say that almost puts them out of the title race, as we would hopefully pick up enough points from the Worcs match.

If we do that, it will hopefully be enough to as good as eliminate Yorkshire as well.

It's always important to have a good toss before the game

I reckon as long as we avoid defeat to Durham and push for the bonus points we're in with a great shout of retaining the title

Come On Sussex!

Yorkshire are already as good as out of it - can be backed at 100-1 with totesport according to Oddschecker, while Durham are only a little shorter at 20-1.

 

[larus]

Not long now. I'm quietly confident. (That'll be the kiss of death then won't it).

Don't be stupid larus. We are going up there like lambs to the slaughter, to once again to put put to the mighty Northern sword.

etc, etc.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Any news on whether Lankies are going to get a points deduction for last week's debacle in Blackpool?

 

[Beach Hut]

What time is the toss and what is better for us - bat or bowl ?

Personally I suggest bat and post a big score

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Almost certainly right Mr Hut, but impossible to call without looking at the pitch and conditions.

'If in doubt, bat' has its merits, whatever the conditions though, especially if you have good spinners to bowl in the 4th innings.

 

[cardboard]

No points deduction for Lancs
