I think when we look back on this match we've got to be disappointed with our batting in the 1st Innings. Apart from anything else, by being bowled out so cheaply it ensured the match would be over quickly thereby - once again - missing out on all the takings of a 4th Day's cricket. How can we...

61 - it's a big ask.

Leicestershire are, effectively, 47-8. Therefore, the match has gone from being evenly-poised to the Foxes now firm favourites. So inevitable....

22 overs and 91 runs later, Rana FINALLY does something in this match. Praise the Lord!

The real Leicestershire have now turned up and the game's afoot. 33-0, Jefferson 23 off 15 balls, he doesn't even need a proper partner - he's got some joker the other end called Max Boyce. They'll knock off this 280 odd by tea.

2 questions: 1. Why are we dawdling along? We've only got 1 batting point, the new ball will due shortly at which point we'll be skittled out. 2. Who the HELL does Rana think he is - Viv Richards?!? You're a bowler, sir (and not a very good one at that). Block, don't stroke...

Look, we've only got 2 tail-enders to come in so that'll mean diggly-squat more runs. Once you factor in the Foxes inevitable 500 runs in their second innings that means we'll need more than 400 to win batting last...we've got NO chance. Brilliant, Sussex, great first day you cockjuggling...

You just KNOW these two flidiots will contrive to throw away a wicket before the close...

This bowler is destroying us - BUCK OFF!

Three figures already. Hoggy's teammates are showing us PRECISELY why he joined them, rather than us. What a sorry mess...

It disgusts me the way Leicestershire have DELIBERATELY given their wickets away to give the illusion there's some sort of "contest" underway. It's like The Fast Show's "Competitive Dad"; at any stage he'll let rip with a snorter to teach the boy for having the temerity to smack one under the...

I can't believe it, I work all morning, I log on to find Leicestershire have ALREADY amassed a whopping 85 runs. They say you can't win it on the first day but you can certainly LOSE it, and here's the living proof. I'm surprised there's anything left for lunch after the amount of pies we've...
