Looks like it's between Durham and Sussex now. Should be Sussex as long as it doesn't rain all day tomorow.

by JKLever Fri 21 Sep 2007, 15:14

Looks like it, although you would think Lancs will go for anything Slurrey set them.

Sussex's title; shame.

by Gary 111 Fri 21 Sep 2007, 16:56

Here's hoping for an act of god hitting Hove tomorrow, like a day long deluge, a hurricane, an earthquake, or even more outrageous Moeen Ali and Gazza Batty batting all day.

Sh!t, I realised how much I hate Sussex. Didn't use to, but I'd even take Wancashire winning the title and you know what a bunch of cnuts they are.

by JKLever Fri 21 Sep 2007, 17:16

489 for Lancs to win the title then.

Should be interesting as they've got to go for it.

by Gary 111 Fri 21 Sep 2007, 17:22

489 to win.

I bet Lancashire are cursing Chris Schofield's call up to the England T20 squad even more now...

by JKLever Fri 21 Sep 2007, 18:12

Mark Chilton crabs it & then walks off with 6 overs left and a spinner to face

Trying to win it sat in the dressing room. clever...

The despicable little Lancy toad.....

Anyone hoping Worcs. will deny Sussex the championship are, I'm afraid, going to be sadly dissapointed: 190 - 5 with a day to go to avoid an innings defeat - it ain't going to happen:pale:

by JKLever Fri 21 Sep 2007, 18:33

It's looked odds on as soon as Sussex made 530 tbh

Was quite humourous to see Chilton flapping his arms about asking Ramps when they were about to declare!

by JKLever Sat 22 Sep 2007, 12:50

Lancs 178-2 chasing another 311 in 2 sessions to win the title

A lot resting on Laxman & Law

by tac Sat 22 Sep 2007, 12:54

Laxman and Law the last hopes for Lancashire . . . County Cricket really needs to lose some of the overseas players . . .

Aye. Although not really the 2 mentioned above but then you knew that you old excrement stirrer you...

I take umbrage at the old jibe . . .

Chapple throwing his wicket away with 130 needed off 30 overs to win the championship

Only cork left for lancs....

by Brass Monkey Sat 22 Sep 2007, 17:34

Go on Wancashire... 58 needed. Only 2 wickets left though. Corky's still there. Here's hoping they fcuk up Pakistan-by-the-sea's championship party.

by JKLever Sat 22 Sep 2007, 18:06

25 short - unlucky!!

Pakistan by the Sea retain the CC

by Brass Monkey Sat 22 Sep 2007, 18:07

Ouch. Shame. Cracking effort.

by JKLever Sat 22 Sep 2007, 18:09

T'was I've been watching this rather than the T20's

Couple of needless wickets thrown away near the end killed them - Chapples in particular

by Gary 111 Sat 22 Sep 2007, 18:12

Been some real trademark chokes this week!

Fair play to Lancs they did very well to get close and seeing Cork out there trying to thrash the last few runs brought back memories of a few England tests of old. Especially that one at Lords against the Windies.
