name any other team game that go on for four days, with the possibility of neither team winning ?

Just checked in to see that from the jaws of victory we couldn't close it out yesterday. Most disappointing. Whats worse is that I see Robinson wants to jump the burning ship and head off to England. As if they'd have him.

Have you any local furry candidates, you could send over from Borneo, that could do a job managing Sussex if he goes...

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

No need, they can promote the second XI coach who is the much missed and lamented (by some) Hoppo. It's called succession planning!

This test match is always mentioned by my Dad, 12 days and still a draw, because I believe England needed to catch the boat back home. Scoring rate never goes above 2.5 an over.

I think you will find that Chris Adams will be the next manager following his years of DOMINATION at Surrey.

Ah, yes the 'timeless test'.

That score rate must have kept the spectators on the edge of their seats................

Goodness knows what they would make of T20!

I wonder how many pints of Harveys it would take to get through 12 days of cricket?

I don't think we ever have to worry about Sussex keeping a game going for that long!

Make that 7

RHB plays a careless shot (another one??) and perishes... 282-3

Here we go again.

Opps RHB 20/20 tactics didn't work...

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

RHB perishes to a one-day shot - poor

Here we go, the beginning of the end for Sussex

 

[Luke93]

Hash-Brown has GONE! Can we hold on for a draw??

Don't be ridiculous

Titter. Can we hold on till drinks, more like.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Looks like we are terrified of the prospect of a new ball

 

[Badger]

TEN runs in an over, it's that kind of free hitting which will cost Sussex.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

32 needed, only four overs till the new ball

 

[Titanic]

Joyce seems to have gone for SHIT or BUST... smashes another lucky four... 298-3

Just 7 wickets remaining.

And they were 8-ball overs too !!!

Can't imagine having to field for 218 overs having claimed only 5 wickets - I'm knackered fielding for 50 overs .....
