Sussex take on Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One at hove

[Moshe Gariani]

Sussex require A NOMINAL 263 runs with 5 wickets remaining

corrected into the style of Leesy... if it's so NOMINAL then stop twittering on about it and the run-rate...!!

Certain defeat beckons after tea. Similar pattern to the Albion - decent start to the season and then the other teams work us out.

No Plan B from Robbo.

.

But at least Sussex have a big bloke up front and a massive black bloke in the middle, isn't that what we all want?

A random selection of images to pass the time and enjoy during the tea interval:

 

[Mr Blobby]

Its way way too sunny to play cricket, perhaps one our batsmen could faint through heatstroke and demand they take the players off the pitch.

To play in these conditions is farcical. Lancashire moan about the rain used to cost them matches, they forget about the rediculous sun and heat we have to take down on the south coast! Phew I have got hot and sweaty just writing that!

 

[Simster]

The steady stream of wickets continues. 153/6

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I take it you have batting and bowling points to put you Pansies above the White Rose county?

 

[BensGrandad]

Can we hold out for a draw or is this not the last day.

 

[Mr Blobby]

How many overs do Sussex have to face in total (not that its important because we will soon be all out!). 69 gone so far today for Sussex, how many did Notts use this morning and how many taken up by change of innings?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Nineteen to go.

There were 24 overs remaining when Hamilton-Gower got out, if that helps?

 

[Mr Blobby]

Mmmmm i was hoping it was less than 5! Oh well!

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Quite. The answer to the overs question is "more than enough".

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Quite. The answer to the overs question is "more than enough".

"Far too many"

 

[Simster]

15 overs left. Far too many to skittle our rabbits.

Having just returned from the ground I can assure you it's the opposite. Bloody freezing. The northerners from Notts cope much better with these conditions than us southern softies.

 

[tinycowboy]

Are they playing 87 overs? We can still win this if we play with a bit of flair - i think i'd rather lose having had a go with 6 overs left than play out a "bore draw".

 

[Simster]

It's getting to that stage where the captains shake hands and Sussex concede defeat.

 

[8ace]

6/223 Match drawn.

 

[Surf's Up]

Phew!!

 

[Simster]

Lucky lucky Sussex.
