I was thinking that. Probably best if we just let the record books show that Lancashire racked up 600-0 declared and then bowled us out twice for 17 and 14 - and all before lunch on the first day. Bound to be better that what'll actually happen.

Hear!Hear! Especially if all your contributions are going to be so accurate.
The neglect shown by Nobbo during the close season has left us at least 4 players short of even competing in Div 1. Lancashire must be licking their lips at the prospect of an easy win as the first step in their march to yet another title.

Thought Liddle might have been in the squad for this one, bit of variety to the attack, hasn't got injured again has he?
A really tough test with three England stars missing for Sussex but I think there are several exciting youngsters coming through.
Would love Joe Gatting to have a great season.
PS Gus is a cricket fan- probably one of the few Uruguyans to understand the game!!

Throughout most of last season i thought we were quite light batting but them R M-J came in and scored a hundred!
Ok, I will go with your call, but there seems a lot of names on there that have not got a lot of Sussex 4 day county experience under their belt (if you catch my drift). I agree re: the batting line up looking week, if Wells is in the XII one of him or Gatting is definitely playing (if not both, will Monty play in the first week in April on what is most likely to be a green seamer) Still to paraphrase a fine saying "in Robbo we trust".
Surely both Wells and Gatting will play otherwise the batting is far too light - and there's no need to go in with six bowlers (or seven counting Nash)

Just started for four days solid.
Seen the Div 1 county map in The Times today? Idiots.

Well as aready mentioned, we are doing a Wolves and putting our Div 1 survial plan into action immediatly.
Why put up a strong side agaisnt the champions elect, play our youngsters so they can experience how to cope with crushing defeats and even perhaps learn from the top team in English cricket.
Wells is quality and may even manage double figures agaisnt them, I hear when they play down at Hove later this month we may even give them a victory guard of honour on to the pitch, I mean what could go wrong and stop them winning another trophy, not our inexperienced youngsters....

It sometimes feels like we are half a county compared to some of the cricketing giants such as Hampshire, Lancashire and Surrey.
Sussex have won the toss and will bat.
