If the weather forecast is good, I would declare at tea. A lead of 400 with four sessions to bowl them out in. A perfectly tantalising target for both sides.Trigger said:
Although re-reading your post, we could end up quibbling about 10 overs.

Quibble..what a great word for Friday.
I always like to give them a few overs before the end of any session when they are thinking about stuffing their faces and not the next delivery.The Large One said:If the weather forecast is good, I would declare at tea.

What's the weather forecast for tomorrow? The BBC website says heavy rain in London and sunshine in Arundel. Will we need a fourth day?

Why has Warne not bowled today?

Because he knows that Adams will slaughter him. Warne writes a weekly column in The Times. In this week's column, he had a sly dig at both Prior and Adams. He mentioned the "history" between Sussex and Hampshire. He omitted to acknowledge which side won the double last year.

Anyone know if there is a cricketing reason, such as is he injured?

Or he knows his figures will be SLAUGHTERED by our top order. He wants to wait for the tail-enders - the fat f***.

Just seems odd, what with the damage a semi fit Mushy did on this wicket.

I would say the lack of any real preparation in that he played no cricket in the winter and missed our pre-season, more than anything.

Blimey, with almost 40 wickets this season, and his half-ton on Wednesday, what's he going to be like fully fit?Uncle Buck said:

Sarcasm aside, nobody has any idea as why Warne has not bowled?

Would imagine that it's due to us not scoring that quickly today. If they bring Warne on, it might well mean that we lose wickets quickly but score runs quicker and end up bowled out for 300 30mins before tea...that doesn't really suit them!
Incidentally, what sort of pitch must this be:
