THE Cricket (Notts v Sussex, Losers v Losers)

[Gazwag]

We should bat until be lose enough wickets for Notts to get the points they need to avoid relegation so meaning they might not be so bothered about batting well, if you see what I mean

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Five points up!

402/8 at Southampton with almost 11 overs to spare.

Well done.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Lancs have made 402/8, so maximum batting points.

Still, they are the champions

 

[Uncle Buck]

50 up for Tucker.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I guess we owe it to Nottinghamshire to bat on until 130 overs are completed, so that they can get as many bowling points as possible.

At least that will give some meaning to this game.

 

[larus]

50 up for Tucker.

Tucker's been hogging the strike all morning. 61 balls he's faced compared to Prior's 48, including yesterday.

Greedy bastard.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

I guess it comes down to the weather.

BBC Cow-watch (ie. establish the weather from how many cows are lying down...) seem to think there will be rain on Friday. It all depends on whether (no pun intended) the forecast(!!) overnight rain clears quickly.

500+ is more than enough to declare on, though I do agree that giving Notts a bit of a leg-up might work to our long-term advantage

 

[Lord Bracknell]

502/5

Not bad in the circumstances.

 

[Uncle Buck]

50 up for Prior.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Warnes taken a catch. About time he made some contribution, having bowled 35 overs without taking a wicket. Fat prick.

 

[Yoda]

Wanky Wicket gone.

 

[Timbo]

9 down for the Champions elect. Quick century from Anderson then have some fun with the Hants batsmen. Could be all over tonight with Lancs winning by an innings and 1000 runs.

 

[Wozza]

502/5

Not bad in the circumstances.

Yeah, easy when there's nothing to play for.

[Timbo]

Anderson scores the first of an afternoon of succesive fours.

 

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

First time Sussex have had six half centurians in the same innings since 1904. Some small consolation for just missing out on the title I suppose!?

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Lancs all out for 438

 

[Gazwag]

First time Sussex have had six half centurians in the same innings since 1904. Some small consolation for just missing out on the title I suppose!?

and the fourth 100 partnership of the innings, any record there
