Notts-v-Sussex. Roll Call.

There was a football match last night

well somebody said there was because he punched somebody over it. But then somebody else said nobody was allowed to talk about it, so I wasn't sure. But then somebody else said it was funny that two people called Terry and Ronald missed their penalties: I'm assuming this must be to do with a parking fine - but most important of all: have you noticed how different and less pleasant Trent Bridge sounds at lunchtime compared to Hove? No seagulls, no twitter of lads playing cricket on the outfield, no gentle murmurings from the members. Give me Hove anytime to listen to when there's nothing happening.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Still nice to see cricket make a comeback, after all that chit chat about some football match or other - last night was it

Talking of which, has anyone ever:
1) Had a fight with a plastic Lancs fan in the Jim Parks bar?
2) Been to more matches in a season than Brenda from Kemp Town (any Sussex member who doesn't know Brenda = BAD fan)?
3) Wondered why Prior doesn't have squad number 1?:gossip:
4) Been told to sit down by a Steward at Hove/Horsham/Arundel?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

156/5 at lunch.

5) Been ordered off the square due to being too pished and spilling beer all over the place.

1) Nope, all Lancs fans are armed with umbrellas and best left alone
2) Brenda says hi to all
3) Ooh more - I do like gossip. (saw his girlfriend at Horsham last year - wow)
4) Yes - Horsham last year, sneaking into the members bit on the last day

PS: there's the bell

 

[CHAPPERS]

Lead up to 199.

 

[Pavilionaire]

250 plus lead will give us a good chance of victory, 300 plus and we are well in the driving seat.

Matt Prior's form is sensational, the guy is carrying the team.

Quite so but Matty and Luuuuuuuuke seem to have lost the plot entirely. At LEAST one of them should have been out in the last over before lunch!

Wright seems to have been on 43 for about 15 deliveries

The term Banjo & cows arse springs to mind

 

[Mendoza]

playing for the draw

what on earth do you mean, look at the strike rates. Wright is clearly hitting out and going for glory



CD Nash 52.94
CD Hopkinson 26.92
MH Yardy 37.06
MW Goodwin 32.75
CJ Adams 22.22
MJ Prior 36.36
LJ Wright 44.85

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wright gone for 48 but that's a very handy innings he's just played.

 

[Gazwag]

no he just hit himself out

 

[Gazwag]

CD Nash 52.94

That's quite impressive considering he his strike rate was zero last game

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

RMJ gone for 11

Surely now Matty will do the noble thing and fall on his sword

 

[Gazwag]

Bugger RSCABCEDFGM-J out 248 lead three wickets left

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Am i imagining things, or is Andrew Hawes doing SCR?

Genius

 

[CHAPPERS]

Lead out to 285. Do we bat until close if we can or have a cheeky 15 minutes at them?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

BATTING Mushy (20*)
