Sussex V Northants, Tue 7th- Fri 10th

[ROSM]

was wondering if RHB was going to make a sporting declaration and give Glamorgan a sporting chance of chasing down the runs, i guess i`ll never know.

Would have been a good test of his captaincy. Wonder if the committee at he Oval are happy at his performance in his debut season as skipper

Div 2 clearly needs relegation and some fresh blood. I would suggest Derbyshire head for the minor counties and get replaced by Shropshire.

Slurrey could join the West Sussex Invitation League, replaced by Sussex Seconds. That would give them a much bigger pool of Sussex based players to poach from.

Well, despite some big money contracts, they're second from bottom of CC2 and failed to make the last four of any of the OD tournaments. My guess is that Grizzly and/or RHB will come in for some grief on this.

i heard at hove last week that RHB`s dad bankrolls Surrey, is that true?

Sadly that won't happen, the Salop boys find it difficult enough getting time off for their 3 day games - 3 of them play at my club [Wellington] along with the county coach.

Slurry wobble over - they're 98-5 now. Even if there's a sudden clatter of wickets, Glamorgan would have to get more than 200 on a wicket that's clearly not the flattest.

Interesting game at Lord's where Middlesex have collapsed to 59-8 chasing a modest target. If Worcs in that, and they should, they'll only be 8 points behind Glamorgan (assuming they draw). If Sussex do blood a few youngsters in their last game and run the risk of losing to Worcs, that would make Glamorgan a bit nervous (although their last game is against Derbyshire).

141/5 now 245 ahead. will they declare on 250 ??

 

[Badger]

145/6 a declaration can't be far off

 

[Gwylan]

I'm sure they'll bat on - can they bowl out Glamorgan in under two hours? Seems unlikely to me

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

they are having a spot of tiffin. Will Grizz & gower conspire ??

 

[The Large One]

Surrey & Glamorgan heading for a draw.

More silverware heading for Hove.

 

[Gwylan]

As I expected, Slurry are batting on. They'll let Schofield get his ton and shake hands on the draw

Do we not need points against worcs then?

If this is a draw, we can get nul points against Worcs and still win the league

I think we can roll the fizz out. Surrey are 292 ahead - with less than 90 minutes play left.

Not good for Glamorgan this - I don't expect Sussex will put out a full strength team against Worcs. Time to play Wells, Hatchett, Beer, Machan etc. As I mentioned above, if Worcs win against Sussex then Glamorgan have to win their game.

 

[The Oldman]

It's official. We are Champions!

 

[sweetmods]

Spray that fizz - Sussex confirmed as Division 2 Champions. Bloomin good show.

Good old Sussex by the Sea

 

[Mackenzie]

Great stuff. Well done SCCC.
