[Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition

[Eeyore]

The strange thing is we took apart their highly accomplished top order for buttons.
I remember from last year that notts don’t do tails though. Their number 11, Fletcher, has butchered us in the past, I recall. So it wasn’t a major failure that their lower order destroyed us.
Ah well, a scrap of hope followed by major disappointment. It’s good to be back.

PS
Notts are in div 2 for a reason , yes, but a very unusual one. They had a poor season in 2019, then covid came and everything changed. Last year they were the third best team in the country but the divisional structure is based on 2019 finishes. So on more recent form , they should be no where near div two.

I did take a look at their team and wondered what they were doing in our league. So I think a thumping defeat here is a bit of a false flag. Decent bowling attack for this level too.

Also, Add rizwan , pujara and Robinson.
Take out crocombe, Carter and Alsop and it’s a different story.
Even without them we still competed for two days or so.
Finn looks good.

Quite. I certainly wouldn't make judgements on this match. It's a bit like a 3-0 defeat against Liverpool.

There are not favourites to win division 2 for nothing

Credit to you all. Sound so much like one of Ian Salisbury reports

The default position is that Sussex are not a strong side. The batting looks like it has possibilities. The bowling is wanting.

Notts are not a barometer. They should be upstairs. Strong batting, a quality opening bowling attack.

Derbyshire next will be more a measure.

Thought it was Durham? D'oh!

You think we should have won that one?

FHP and Garton too - that considerably strengthens the batting

I thought that was a really decent performance against a team far too good for this division.

We took them to the final session on the fourth day, with half the team missing AND a batter down

For the next game, we'll have Pujara, Rizwan, Robbo (I hope) and Garton. We still have FHP and Carson to come back (and let's hope Ibrahim's not out for long).

Garton back next game ? Great .
Salisbury said fhp is out for months and ibrahim weeks .
If we ever play our full strength team it is easily promotion quality . We were without at least four of our best for this one.

New Road today. And doubtless a pleasant place to be.

No rowing boat needed.

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Is there any news on Robbo & Garton?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Is there any news on Robbo & Garton?

Other than neither are in the squad, no. I think Garton may be long term (Long Covid).

Thank you. Hope Garton recovers that sounds nasty. I'm guessing England wont be too keen on Robbo rushing back

 

[Gwylan]

Robbo has a dental problem. Not sure what that means but Sussex hope to have him back for Durham. Garton? Dunno, no idea when he's back, it doesn't sound good.

I think FHP and Ibrahim are out for some time too, although Carson should be back next month

 

[Titanic]

Henry Crocombe's gone for 3 boundaries in his 1st over. A long day ahead?

 

[Gwylan]

Pollack seems to think it's a one-dayer.

A long day of leather chasing lies ahead

 

[mwrpoole]

Worcs 60-0 from 11. Pollock 50*

 

[Papa Lazarou]

now 92/2 as Tom Haines gets both openers.

95/3 - a Sussex style collapse is on
