I know he hasn't got any runs so far so this season, but Farbrace, who seems to be a very decent coach, must have seen something in him. Hopefully he'll come.good.

I really rate him as a player. Just not a T20 one.

Yes fair enough. Farbrace seems to rate him as a T20 player though. Agreed he hasn't shown much so far this season but Farbrace must think he can succeed in T20.
Great result in a minute

Comfortable and very useful for net run rate

Lucky that was an away game, the crap coverage Sussex stream would have missed it.

Why IS our coverage so comparatively crap? I mean, I know money, but we look so small time compared to almost every other team/county in our coverage.
Really doesn’t help that Adrian Harmes - god bless him - is the most easily confused man in the country

Isn't it to do with the c. £20m they received from Birmingham council to bail them out / fund the redevelopment of Edgbaston?
You would think the ECB/Blast would want to invest in the streaming to make it all as good as it can be.
Easy way to get interest into the sport

I don’t mind Adrian so much in Championship games as he blends into background nicely while I am meant to be working.
Much as the streams are better than nothing, so many other Counties now seem to have decent, multi camera coverage whereas Sussex seem to have a fixed camera at each end which sometimes moves if you are lucky.
You would think that the coaches would benefit from having better coverage to review and also the advertisers / sponsors would like to see their boards around the ground shown more often.

Absolutely. And the Surrey game on Friday for instance, they pushed their “brand” multiple times. As cringey as it was at times, they did that a lot better than everyone else due to budget and ambition.
I like Adrian Harmes but if you solely listened to him you’d not have a clue about the game at hand.
Sorry but it needs a big upgrade across the board.

Surely the coaches have a different and better feed ??

Going all high horse, it's a free stream and most who watch it give nowt to the club. It could be better (Middlesex is top notch) but beggars and choosers. Some even complained that there were advertisements. I think those people should be given free life memberships.......
As for our, Adrian. You leave him alone ! He's the cuddly, and occasionally confused, voice of Sussex cricket.

In a world where everything is more expensive and every business wants you on a subscription, it does seem odd that county cricket coverage is free.
Give it a couple of years and we will look back at this period as golden tImes, as surely the service will be monetised at some point.
