Lunch

 

[Trigger]

Maybe a rest before lunch so that he can come out at full pelt after a good rest?

Well Kirtley hasn't opened the bowling at either end after lunch so now i am truly worried that he's injured...

If you want to win a match you dont give your main strike bowler just 4 overs, especially as he's taken a wicket in those 4 overs...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Tell me it isn't so...

 

[Gritt23]

It does rather sound like he's carrying an injury.

 

[Sully's Moustache]

119-2. Kirtley bowling again

 

[Gwylan]

132-2. Looks like this heading for draw now

 

[CHAPPERS]

Shit, could do with some Mushy magic.

 

[Trigger]

Yeh, we're not gonna bowl them out now, good to see Kirtley back in the attack though, he must have had a knock earlier for him to stop bowling after 4 overs though in a match we could have won at the time.

 

[Hannibal smith]

Good news 144-3

Bad news - I'm not far from Nottingham and it looks like its just about to P!ss down.

Could England be going for the win??


Good start to the innings, We need 274 off of 50odd overs.

Come on boys, do or die!!

Sussex 497/6d
Nottinghamshire 296 & 183/3 (50 ov) (f/o)

Nottinghamshire trail by 18 runs with 7 wickets remaining

Tea

With two hours to go, I reckon we'll need to get them all out for no more than 260. Then a mad rush to score the winning runs in what remains of the last hour.

 

[FatboyTim]

Hehehe, I guess that leaves just the one hope then....
