Sussex take on Nottinghamshire in County Championship Division One at hove

[Barrel of Fun]

Effectively 70/1

Wickets needed. If only we had a little fluffy, bearded maestro.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

24/2 (or 74/2, if you prefer).

Miracle required from here, don't want to chase more than 125 batting last.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

64/2 at lunch.

 

[Titanic]

Notts batting for fun now... 156-2

Leading by 206 already.

 

[vegster]

They may well accelerate soon...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

179/3 at tea. 229 ahead.

A mid-morning declaration tomorrow will give Notts plenty of time to destroy us.

We loose ok mate

 

[Marxo]

And to think they were 112-6 and we were 249-6 in the first innings.

 

[Mackenzie]

Notts 301/9. Quick wicket now please Goff.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

304/9 at close of play.

355 at least to win. How unlikely is that?

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

Very

Postscript : Kent struggling at bottom of Div 2. Admittedly not a fierce rivalry but I still want them to fare badly

 

[brightonmark1234]

sussex need 380 to win or can they hold out for a draw

Or get bowled out and lose. Just thought I'd add the 3rd option.

Quite.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Notts seem to have a good / balanced bowling attack. Gurney / Shazad are both bowling very well, and on a final day wicket even Patel might be dangerous.

 

[Simster]

We will be skittled for 160.

 

[tinycowboy]

Would we prefer a slow death or a two hour sub-100 score? Don't know why I'm asking - we don't have any choice...

I'd prefer us to smash the Notts bowling all over the park and win at a canter.
