Surely Naved has to bowl at the incoming tailender Imran Tahir, an anagram of which (interestingly) is: RRANA! HIT 'IM!

poor effort lol

 

[Simster]

A 100 run defeat looks on the cards.

well loose?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

FFS - 255/9 now - they've accelerated since Cork departed.

 

[Simster]

266 a/o

So 233 to win then.

Cork and co will be licking their lips with such a massive lead to defend.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

266ao

233 to win

 

[Papa Lazarou]

233 to win, more realistically, 4 sessions for Hants to bowl us out for the win.

 

[Pavilionaire]

266ao was twice as much as they needed.

With a lead of 233 Corkie can afford to have 4 slips, a silly mid-on and a silly mid-off. The good news is that if Hants wrap this up tonight the Sussex players can put their feet up in front of the golf tomorrow.

Tough target that. Sussex lose by 75 runs.

 

[Triggaaar]

Blimey you lot are depressing

 

[keaton]

1 off the first over. Well below the run-rate required, start slogging now

Do you "get it" yet?

Hold on, that was Dominic Cork STEAMING in there. Can you imagine the intense pressure created by an unplayable bowler bowling to a field of six slips and a gully?

Cork will strike at least 4 times before the close tonight. The other bowlers will decide whether it will all be wrapped up by day 3 or whether we'll get a cheeky morning session of heroic but futile Sussex batting.

 

[Knightsworld]

To be fair, we have done well to take this game to 4 days. Assuming we don't have the inevitable batting collapse this evening.

Joyce 2 runs off 16 balls. For his sake I hope he's not wearing a thong, those stats indicate he must be filling up as Cork and Ali steam in like some 1970s Windies throwback...

I should think Joyce has faced plenty faster than Cork.Its just How Cork bowls is the problem.

No, sorry, over my head

Like a CORKIE bouncer.
