*** LVCC Division One, Middlesex v Sussex at Lord's, Jun 5-8, 2013 ***

What happend with Prior did he refuse to walk off after being given out ?

Apparently pointed his bat at the ground in the front of the fielder to indicate a bump ball - jolly bad show, what?

 

[Taybha]

Just seen it on sky thanks , and yes that will be a 5 bob fine and a ticking off from 2 bob willis

Sussex march into the third day and haven't even started their second innings yet - a TRIUMPH that might just turn our season around.

I've done some quick maths and come up with an unbelievable stat - by my reckoning, if Wright and Beer carry on as they have started this morning, we will score infinity - i don't think this has ever happened before. Go boys!!

 

[Mackenzie]

Keep batting boys. The Prior incident has left a sour taste, I'd love it if we got out of this mess.

dot dot dot dot YAWN

Sussex limping to certain defeat obviously, but Middlesex now content to ensure this goes to a 4th day by bowling harmlessly intermittently.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

batting point achieved - 200/7

 

[Papa Lazarou]

batting point achieved - 200/7

So, we're guaranteed 2 points then.

I know it is futile... but almost as a joke I have placed a small wager (a free bet actually) at the start of play today on Sussex cruising to a well-earned draw (3.85 on Betfair).

Silly really, but might just keep me interested in the score over the next hour or so.

Lunch approaching so we lose a wicket in traditional manner.....

Magoffin and Liddle are COMPLETELY USELESS and won't last 5 MINUTES, let alone the 5 HOURS that Sussex need.

Ffs! Why??!!!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Goff 1 off 11 balls, then consecutive boundaries - 5 minutes before lunch. Loving the strategy behind this.

The strategy is this: Middlesex go into lunch on a MASSIVE downer.
