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

[Titanic]

Only 3 overs left before the FEARSOME NEW BALL. 305-7. It looks like all HOPE is LOST

 

[Titanic]

10... 6... 7... off the last three overs... PANIC has set in... obviously desperate at the prospect of the impending new ball...

 

[Pevenseagull]

as they say, add 5 wickets to the score board and then see how cocky you are

desperate times

 

[Titanic]

Machin continues the PANIC-STRICKEN THRASHING around... 4 . 4 . . .

313-3 still just 7 wickets required and the NEW BALL available in just 2 overs.

looks like we are going to win so will be a great result

Now there has to be a point on this thread where the whole mock pessimism has to stop? When is it!?

BRAVE WORDS INDEED young Mark.

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 love how the match ended 2 balls into an over

 

[Bold Seagull]

Start the car....

 

[brightonmark1234]

9 to win

Mock pessimism? On here !

Are you getting this site mixed up with another one ?

Always thought it was realism but there you go ......

In 9 runs time.

 

[Titanic]

The NEW BALL is taken... here we go

Just 7 wickets... or 9 runs required...

 

[Pevenseagull]

[Pevenseagull]

I can't stand the tension

 

[Titanic]

Well done SUSSEX - winning by 7 wickets at Warwickshire

Captain Ed Joyce 117 and 151*, Jordan and Magoffin with 6 wickets each
