I believe that the MJ Gould is Ian's son.

I think, although he is not on a central contract, Sussex were asked not to play him for a month and they accepted that. Very sporting of them.

If he is, then lets hope Ian is umpiring!

RANAAAAAAAAAA!

Gould to miss out then. I'm getting worried about Kirtley you know, hopefully he can get his action right by the time Lewry breaks down in late June and we lose Rana. Looks like that Spencer didn't work out, no great surprise.

No Pieterson or Warne for Hants but Tremlett is in the squad.

"Gouldy" is indeed the offspring of former Middlesex and Sussex gloveman IJ "Gunner" Gould... a promising youngster who had been with a minor county (Hertfordshire? Berkshire?) until last year when he moved to Hove on an "Academy Plus" contract...

earlier team line-ups didn't include Rana (referred to Sussex as "unchanged"...) - he was always meant to be playing, very good news if he is...

ps
can we have a fall of wicket smiley?

I love that man (not in a homosexual way)

He'll be there on MONDAY. I'm getting a photo of him and then getting it blown up and put on a t shirt. Don't you try and stop me!

Sussex off to a flyer. 5-0 after 8 overs. A scoring rate of 0.625 runs per over.

COME ON, HIT THE SODDING THING.

:angry: :angry: :angry:

Given their form I don't blame these two for playing themselves in. Though Hoppo was quite easily set up by Carter last week so I expect him to nick one in a minute.

You coming Monday Al?
