t20 Blast Starts Tonight at Hove

[sagaman]

Great that the weather is looking fine as Sussex kick off the season against Surrey at 7pm

Having Yasir Arafat back should greatly improve our bowling


Come on the Sharks!

[Surf's Up]

Let's hope they have a few more wins in this format than last year!!

Cant be any worse than last year, at least we have a probable death bowler and lower order run generator in Yassir.

[Hotchilidog]

Looks like there is a fair chance it will not be FREEZING this evening, which will be novelty. Looking forward to this and the Sri Lankans on sunday.

 

[TrickyOne]

Cant wait, itll be beer o'clock at 5!!

 

[Chinman3000]

I'lllllllllllll be thereeeeeeeeeeee

(Da da da da da daaaaaaa)

 

[father_and_son]

We'll be there... 4 seats in the pavillion.

 

[keaton]

Busy tonight but will watch us tomorrow on Sky, in the very odd double-header at Middlesex

 

[Parson Henry]

Apologies if this is daft but I thought we could play 2 overseas players. The Goff (as far as I am aware is only playing LVCC games) so why do Sussex only have Yasir ("I can boogie")?

 

[Parson Henry]

Busy tonight but will watch us tomorrow on Sky, in the very odd double-header at Middlesex

Please explain 'double header'?

 

[dazzer6666]

Well me and junior are going tonight to watch another inevitably inept performance from our tinpot team against the might of the posh boys. Can't be any worse than last year's fixture, where we got to about 110-0 with Prior carving it al over the place before it rained, then Surrey were set a stupid 5 over target (mostly to avoid ticket refunds being paid). At least at Hove a portion of chips contains more than 5.

 

[vegster]

So are we going to lose this by crap bowling or crap batting ?

 

[vegster]

Slurry 90-2 off 12 overs.......can I suggest " Slip sliding Away " as an appropriate tune ?

 

[vegster]

Slurry 171-7 , which should be enough. any bidders for Lukey's single figure score tonight ?

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

So are we going to lose this by crap bowling or crap batting ?

Yes.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Just six runs off a Jade dernbach over?

Wheel neither boat those chimps.

 

[vegster]

We have a sniff of a hope thanks to Lukey..... how long will it last.

 

[TSB]

We have a sniff of a hope thanks to Lukey..... how long will it last.

Curse you

 

[vegster]

Curse you

My bad. I allowed hope to enter my heart. As we all know, it's not the failures that kill you, it's the hope.
