I expect a declaration as soon as Grizzly hits 200...

If we dont declare then it really does prove we dont want to win the championship...

It'll be tough to bowl Lancs out in less than a day though...

Having spent yesterday afternoon watching this game, I've come to the conclusion that the only way Sussex might possibly win is for Lancashire to get some quick wickets.

Adams is clearly batting for a draw - and has been since yesterday morning. Exactly the same cautious tactic he employed against Surrey on the third and fourth days.

Sussex supporters were barracking Lancashire for the deliberate slow play tactics they were using in the last hour yesterday - outrageous stuff (one over took almost ten minutes). But with neither side interested in getting a result, it made no difference.

How the County Cricket authorities think this will bring the crowds in is beyond me. The sport deserves to die.

Disgraceful! It'll be another day of waiting for the inevitability of a draw. Made even worse by the interminable boredom of watching them. Huh! Pink Shirt must be having a field day...

391 runs ahead. Four and a quarter hours to play.

Adams is obviously worried that Lancashire might be capable of scoring at the rate of 92 runs an hour (552 runs a day).



He's got the draw he wanted.

A novel way to start a serious attempt to bowl out the opposition:-

Six no-balls in the first two overs.
