***Warwickshire v Sussex, Edgbaston, 13-16 April, LCCC Div 1***

[Barrel of Fun]

All of the other Division One ties seem to be playing out for a draw as well.

A shame we don't take this chance to put some early points on board for the inevitable decline come the end of May.

Well you've RUINED any slim chance Sussex had.

No, I don't think I have... I reckon we CAN still survive the session after tea, with 8 or 9 wickets in hand.

 

[dazzer6666]

Even 111 failed to generate a wicket. WTF is going on ?

 

[Titanic]

TEA - Sussex 120-0 (37 overs) Luke Wells 47*, Ed Joyce 65*

100 runs in the afternoon session.

Warwickshire need just 10 wickets to WIN, with plenty of overs remaining today - and a WHOLE DAY tomorrow, not that they are likely to need it.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Sussex haven't managed to chase down any score in the 2nd innings so far this season, why should this match be any different?

 

[armchairclubber]

sussex will be 3 down by close

I wish I could share your optimism Mark

 

[Eeyore]

You can do it Sussex, I believe in you!

 

[TSB]

You can do it Sussex, I believe in you!

I don't.
Were loose.

 

[Titanic]

The 'commentators' are wittering on about taking the extra half hour. I doubt Warwickshire will need it.

 

[Titanic]

Nice personal landmark for Luke Wells, 52* (8 fours, 124 balls) - it may be a loosing cause, but WELL DONE anyway Luke.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Luke Well 52*

 

[Titanic]

Ambrose DROPS Joyce... the luck of the Irish!

 

[Badger]

Runs required now below 200, or to put it another way "runs required still IMPOSSIBLE."

 

[Titanic]

It starts.

 

[Postman Pat]

Wells out for 57 - here comes the collapse.

 

[Badger]

Collapse AHOY

 

[jakarta]

Never fear, look who is STRIDING to the Crease , only our in-form run-happy No.3.


Oh.....

 

[dazzer6666]

Will be over by 5.30

 

[Titanic]

Sussex 150-1 (44.5 overs)

The end is NIGH.

 

[Titanic]

Even the commentators have given up.
