SUSSEX V HAMPSHIRE - 16/06/06 |
|
Sussex are going strong this season, and tonight would be the biggest indication of the success they could have this season. Shane Warne and Hampshire arrive at the County Ground in the C&G Trophy, and victory for Sussex would send them to the final at Lords, their first domestic cup final appearance since 1993. A large contingent were ready and waiting to cheer them on from the Cromwell Road End, but could Sussex deliver against one of the best one day sides in the country |
