Five balls away from a win. Shame! Though tonight was frustrating, it was of course the poor temperament verses Kent and Hampshire where Sussex chucked away games they had full control over. Really should be sitting on at least 15 points right now. At least we've got the 4 day thrashings to look...
Off again. Need to finish over 5 and the cutoff point is 9:45 before the game finishes a tie. Been like this all day with the rain. Just bad enough to go off, and just light enough to get back on.
Come on. Just one over needed to constitute a game. A short burst of heavy rain and they're off, but I reckon the rain has just stopped. Common sense must prevail.
This, hopefully, is seen as an opputinity to increase the net run rate. Winning first priority of course, but really need to win as quickly as possible.
No quite...
A win can still see Sussex through, but could mean finishing level points with 2-3 other teams depending on results. So need a good win tonight and a higher net run rate. Essex loosing tonight or tomorrow will help a lot. Less chance of getting through than Albion reaching the 2014...
