Was playing about ten minutes ago with a team missing five players due to the NatWest Series. I'm looking odds-on for the Championship Title so once I got a couple of good stands at the top of the order, I thought I'd keep on going, and going, and going...
Finally all out for 1182 on the final morning, I then bowled out Sussex for 98 and reduced them to 120/5 before close of play, not too disappointed, moreso that England lost the NatWest final, bizarrely going in with only three bowlers and a Clarke-esque allrounder.

Match Drawn
Man of the match: P Brady
**********************************************
Brady is about the same ability level as Chris Schofield IRL, so I have no idea how he managed to rack up 317. Schonegevel, my South African, has 991 runs @ 99.10 so far this season.
