[Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition

[Gwylan]

I was accused of being too pessimistic when I said that Sussex's batting wasn't up to it. But they scored 285 over two innings, with Pujara scoring 95 of them. Orr got 68, so he can hold his head up but that's a poor show. Our selection didn't help. FHP (with a F/C average of 24 is not a no 3) and why no Ibrahim?

I also said that we'd lose in two days ... and if we'd batted first, we would have done.

Was in a meeting after lunch so couldn't watch. Put on the stream once I had finished and assumed the stream had hung until I rewind out and realised we had capitulated again.

One thing I don't understand is that we knew last week that Haines and Alsop were out (and that Rizwan had gone to play tests); why on earth didn't we try to get a batter on short term loan? We've been nabbing bowlers all season. Our top seven had just two players over 21 (and two of them tailenders who can bat a bit), that's putting a lot of responsibility on a bunch of kids.

We've also had an England bowler missing all season (and two others missing most of the season). Our main spinner has also been out all season and we've had several other young bowlers missing through injury.

There's a lot of work to do on our bowlers but we've not had much luck this year

Trouble is people making decisions will believe it is yet another year of bad luck and not make changes needed. Its just jobs for the boys for however long you want and doesnt matter about results as we are still on a long term project

I don't think massive change is needed - those kids are very promising - but it was too much throwing them into an unforgiving arena as Trent Bridge. We just should have borrowed another batter while Haines is out

Dont forget we have been hearing excuses now for 2/3 years. All is perfect from those running the club. Hopefully new chairman will make decisions but must be remembered he has been mates with Kirtley, Salisbury, Andrews and Greenfield for many years

Sussex fielding first at Notts today in the 50 over cup.

Decent stream on YouTube from Notts

No Robbo: injured again?

Four extras within the first two overs is not a good start

49/3 from 13.5 overs

Good to hear the email from NSC's very own Peter Grummit

 

[Gwylan]

Robbo's been recalled to the England team, that's why he's not playing

 

[keaton]

Can't think why England have issues with their fast bowlers when they call someone up after 1 game back

I've just found out that it's the 158th anniversary of the start of the first ever international cricket match. Anyone know, without Googling, which two countries played it?

USA v Canada

 

[CHAPPERS]

England versus Wales?

USA v Canada

Give that man a cigar - it was indeed.

A reminder that cricket was once a popular sport in the US of A

Sussex well on course for their expected drubbing. I'll be surprised if we get within a 100 of the Notts total

Still is in some areas! Weve been looking at a college cricket scholarship out in California if things dont go according to plan.

For those people interested in keeping the County Championship, there's a petition against the Strauss plans (which would mean the end of Sussex as a FC county)
