Not many Sussex there, but a great win. Enjoyed flying the Martlets!

[Cricket] Middlesex v Sussex T20 Lords 18.15 Tonight
- Thread starter Taybha
- Start date
Enjoyed that last over but hated Lords. Was the cricket equivalent of a trip to watch Man U. Full of tourists and folks on corporate jollies. People on my row turned up during Sussex's ,7th over. Then went to the bar at the interval and came back at Middlesex's 8th over. The few overs they were in their seats they were all just chatting with each other. Seemed like a trip to an expensive pub where they had to pay £25 to get in for them!

Great night at Lords. Have loved Sussex CCC for 40+ years and no reason to stop now.
Brilliant performances from Salt, Rawlins and Archer. Apologies if I've missed someone but I am very, very drunk...

I was at the game last night and thought we looked around 20 runs short. Then I read the reports on BBC and Cricinfo and they say that we set a challenging score. Watching Archer side on from the Grandstand you get to appreciate the pace he has. Burgess was standing about 20 yards back and it didn’t look enough at times.
Much as I love Lords, we were sat right next to the Plum Club seating in the middle of the lower Grandstand. Don’t ever sit there unless you want be surrounded by city tw@ts who have no interest in the game but spend all night drinking and talkin loudly with their mates.

great Sussex performance...well batted Salty and Delray and well bowled Jofra #greatfinish
That seemed to be the vast majority of the crowd no matter where you sat unfortunately.

At the game last night and also felt we were 20 runs short (at least) given the start we got. if Salt hadn't got out immediately after reaching 50 we would have gone past 200.
Although Archer get all the praise for the last over hat trick, I think that Jordan's over (the 19th) really put the pressure on Morgan in the last over. Given that Jordan had been hit for 18 by Morgan in an earlier over and only 24 needed from the last 2 I was a little nervous, until Jordan only concede 8, and then of course the fireworks from Archer
Almost always the case at Lords T20s. Mostly people from the City coming in after work for a pint and a chat and not really interested in the cricket at all, or those being entertained by corporate contacts. The cricket is just an excuse, and it's a very cheap way of doing a bit of corporate entertainment
Decent little highlights collection available if anyone interested
