Lewis steals strike off last ball of over and pays penalty when he is out early in the next over.....

12 overs left

ball hits the helmet 5 penalty runs 242 for 9

[guildfordbat]

We now lead by 21.

If we can hold on a bit longer, Sussex might need to get about 30 in 2 or 3 overs ....

oh chris

[guildfordbat]

Hyphen bowled by Anyon.

Sussex need 22 off 6 overs ....

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Only two wickets left to fall (+ Dernbach, who is unlikely to last beyond about 10 balls).

[guildfordbat]

Meaker and Kartik to open would be my call but sadly Sussex have got enough overs not to be too concerned ....

A thoroughly deserved defeat, we competed for about 45 minutes in this game!

Goochie - you may not say much these days but you still say it perfectly.

[thegooch7]

and to make things worse, I've drawn Holland in the sweep!

[jimbobgooner]

it only takes 10 good balls

[jimbobgooner]

right chaps jump on its time to

[guildfordbat]

the full wins man of the match

Maybe. I certainly think Sussex should give a large crate of something very drinkable to the Horsham groundsman and his team. Incredible that there was a full day's play yesterday. Without their efforts, Sussex would have been denied a deserved victory.

[Corporalhumblebucket]

A fiasco.....

[jimbobgooner]

true guildford but with out that last wkt partnership we would have drawn the game comfortably

here corporal use this

Not convinced by that, JimBob. I think we were already out of winning the game when Anyon / Panesar put on those runs. That just confirmed Sussex's superiority. If we'd got one of them out quickly,Sussex could well have had enough time to take a couple more Surrey wickets last night.

Btw, I don't understand why Meaker didn't bowl at Panesar. One on Monty's toes and then another on the stumps should surely have done it!

Another decent man of the match call would be for Anyon.

Ab. Ject.

What is really galling is that, unlike the last time we were relegated to CC2 because we were poo, this team has the latent ability to be competitive in CC1. Who would have thought that we'd be picking up so few batting points?
