Kent V Sussex, Canterbury, LV Championship

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Rain has delayed play, anyone around that area who can give us a local weather check.

Squads yet to be released but rumour was, Hoppo gets dropped down the order and Yardy to open with Nash, with Adams coming in at number 3.

Mushy injured again and may not play, I believe Collymore may be coming into form.

Overcast, gloomy, light drizzle.

No clear signs of improving.

Again the weather gods havent been kind to Lancashire, blatant hampering on their title bid, and just letting Sussex play their way into unrightful contention of the County Championship.

Lancashire are so unlucky, but as we all know, they deserve the title, but the weather is halting their chances

Mush better be playing I need him for my fantasy cricket!!!

Oh and so we can win

We will ask him to take double his tally against Lancashire in the next home fixture, so ditch Freddie et al now.

From yesterdays argus
Mushtaq Ahmed is a doubt for Sussex's Championship match against Kent, starting in Canterbury tomorrow.The veteran leg-spinner injured his knee when he slipped in the footholds whilst bowling in the nets

"It is on the same (right) knee he had surgery on last month but this injury is unrelated."

Off-spinner Ollie Rayner has been added to the squad.
Sussex (probable): Nash, Hopkinson, Yardy, Goodwin, Adams, Prior, Wright, Martin-Jenkins, Mushtaq Ahmed or Rayner, Lewry, Collymore.


Any one have any weather news from the Kent region, its lovely still in Brighton

Dont worry lads , we can beat kent in 3 days,

Play abandoned for the day I assume, I hope we can get another win, we ceratinly have won in three days previously. Kent are looking more resiliant this year, especially with Yasir in the side.

Lets hope we get play Saturday morning.

Any one in the Kent region that can give a weather shout, the BBC report looked like more rain. Whats it like out there, could do with a days play to at least get some bonus points.

They should all drive down here and play on the level today, Glourious in BN2. Been out to Lancing beech this morning aleady with the dog, only got me feet wet but the water was lovely and warm already.
