*Official* English Domestic Season 2006

Ant Botha ends Butcher's defiance - HRH Surrey now only 68 regal runs ahead with 5 royal batters back in the palace. Perhaps only Rikki now standing between Derbyshire and a great chance of victory.

Who to root for? It's another one of those Club v Country dilemmas.

 

[Scaly piscine]

HRH Surrey look as though they are trying to grind things out for a draw - only managed 19 in the first 10 overs so far this morning for the loss of Ally Brown. Butcher 2 hours so far for 19 - Rikki in now too.

Come on Derbyshire - they're effectively 62-4.

With those two in it was effectively 62-4¾

True, but Rikki IS a changed player - the Daily Express told me so in as many words - and they put Lady Diana on the front page 4 times a week so it must be true.

 

[pinchy81]

it seems that Yardy and Goodwin a putting on a good partneship for Sussex

 

[luckyeddie]

Stop it, Rikki - stop tormenting me right now - I'm one of the few who had faith in you and THIS is how you repay me?

Surrey now lead by 131 with 5 wickets standing at lunch, Clarke a majestic 49* and playing as though he really has got some talent after all.

Spotty git.

Rikki on 99 one away

I hope his tea chokes him

 

[superkingdave]

Great knock from Rikki to deny Derbyshire a shot at victory.

Damn straight.

 

[luckyeddie]

A Derbyshire win is long gone now, with Rikki playing his way into the hearts and minds of everyone - currently HRH Surrey's vice-captain stands undefeated on 116.

 

[The Baconator]

Sussex look like going the whole day without losing a wicket, not a good sign for our bowling attack.

 

[superkingdave]

good to see Cook starting the season in decent form

 

[luckyeddie]

Rikki gone for 130
