I can't do them now as no longer a moderator, sorry.

All parties now present, contract signing underway and cash transfers soon to be instigated. Last remaining hold up appears to be that the Quantuma reps are not taking the whole thing terribly seriously.

Eddie got a reaction from jimbo jones in Derbyshire CCC - Mickey Arthur Appointed
I've never made my mind up what the advantages or disadvantages of enforcing the follow-on actually are, other than by the use of hindsight.
You could blindly look at the scorecard and see that 14 wickets fell on day 3 and infer from that that the wicket is far from the road it appeared to be for the first two days and up until mid-afternoon today, but other than the new ball when Sussex batted and a somewhat reckless approach when Derbyshire did, it really does look like hard work for the bowlers for the most part.
Convention is to avoid batting last on a Bunsen, but it's far from that. Although Mark Watt bowled beautifully at times, I don't see him and Alex Thompson running through Sussex in a session. Derbyshire are still favourites, but the decision to bat again introduced the possibility of defeat into the equation. It's a game of small margins, so perhaps batting again just increases the likelihood of Derbyshire winning (by a few percentage points) and reduced the possibility of a draw.
I should imagine that it was a decision backed by the management.

A maximum of 30 minutes, in my mind.
Derbyshire have two new balls available - batting for 6 overs, 2 lost for change of innings allows 8 with the second new ball.

unsurprisingly, Mickey Arthur has dipped into his contacts to find a replacement for Masood whilst he’s away.

I believe that Dal's ton was the 1000th by a Derbyshire player for the county in first class cricket.

I used to fly to Dublin with BMI on either a 737-200 (flying cattle truck) or an Ambraer 145 (Luxury).
Back at the turn of the century, you used to get a brekky too - on a 55 minute flight. On the return flight, a free miniature or two of whisky.
The down side was the £175 return flight cost, but seeing as I was on £50 an hour, I could just about manage. Then Ryanair brought in their £10 each way flights. Drinking became my hobby.
