Official: Sussex vs Kent (County Championship)

[Rougvie]

The wicket is going to be in terrible shape by day four, if we get that far.

I was in the ground last night and the wicket looked terrible then.

Dont think the Superglue is working anymore.

 

[REDLAND]

Just had a text saying Yardy has just been dropped !

Should manage to make it down for about 3ish.

Anyone else attending over the next few days ??

I'll be there on Satdee, celebrating the missis birthday ..

Good ol Kent by the sea,good ol Kent by the sea...

I hope you get docked 7 points for the state of the pitch.Do you employ a groundsman during the winter months?

I hope you get docked 7 points for the state of the pitch.

showing a fair degree of ignorance with that comment - as the mighty Sussex cruise along at 80 odd for 2 there is more chance of Kent winning the Championship this year...

More than likely

 

[Moshe Gariani]

More than likely

the truth is there will be sighs of relief all round if it holds up for the rest of the season - dodgy start for the new groundsman...

Yes we do, he was our head groundsman at my school in..................Aberdeen !

That may or may not say something about the condition of the pitch

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yardy has his half ton as well now. Good partnership thus far.

On a side note, Yardy had Shaun Udal down as his mate on the Sky 20/20 coverage the other day which made me chuckle.

probably about par given likely state of track... anything over 300 should represent a reasonable effort?
