Hopefully we can try stay in and wait for the rain to save us. No risks please.

The rain might save us being all out for no runs, but we can't lose, we've already got a draw. This should have been a good day for Sussex cricket, but if we're all out for no runs I imagine the media will concentrate on that, instead of our memorable draw.

 

[Everest]

We need 1 to win........We might do this

Big ask

 

[Triggaaar]

It's pouring down

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Seems we have a real find in the Australian. Now for the footie.

 

[Triggaaar]

OMFG, the radio says we've won. Is this some kind of mistake?

Hollow victory don't we get deducted 30 points for daring to beat the champions elect, still may be top prior to the points deduction.

What a debut......can only go downhill from now on

Fantastic from Sussex after losing that first game at the Oval.

 

[Smirko]

Great win, lets hope we can push on. Might shut those lancs up for once!

As I confidently predicted, we are usually quite good at chasing down single figure targets. Still hairy though...

 

[Pevenseagull]

a memorable day for sport in Sussex

 

[Questions]

Only won by 10 wickets when it should have been an innings defeat. Once again they let us down.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Is that the highest ever 4th innings chase by our "batsmen"...?

We obviously got very, very lucky with the weather conditions and managed to score our runs when the pitch was completely flat and the sun shining. Still, I'll take it... a thrashing by the new champions elect and a narrow victory against the likely runners-up is a great start to this season's relegation battle.

Fantastic that one of our big teams performed today- better result than at Anfield earlier this year!!
