I'd like to see us to do well in this. we used to be such a good one-day side...where did it all go wrong ?

The Championship 1 table is as tight as a nun's arse at the mo so lets hope the Hampshire result gees the boys up !

Bowling attack has potential to be very expensive against a strong batting team. Good to see RHB in, and Lukey back. Not sure how Kirtley merits a place, or why Rayns doesnt.

Kirtley took four wickets for the seconds in a one-dayer this week. But you're right, there's a distinct lack of a TRIED and TESTED spinner in there.

Kirts is in for his skills as a "Death" bowler..... if you need 8 off the last over who do you fancy bowling at you Kirts or Ollie ?

 

[SNOOBS]

Looks as if we kept the spinners on for a few overs too many

 

[vegster]

could be a big ask...... small ground though and we are packing some big hitters who owe the team some runs....difficult but not impossible

 

[vegster]

86 - 1 off 14

Prior going like a train, Lukey boy warming up...... if they stick together for 15 overs it's as good as won !

 

[dougdeep]

132/1 off 22.

 

[vegster]

163 - 2

Wright gone, mind you, he was off the pace 40 off 46 balls

 

[SNOOBS]

Sussex win with 2 balls to spare. Prior

 

[vegster]

close , but the boys done great..... fantastic knock by Prior

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Well done Matt Prior. Well done the super sharks.

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Im was pooping my pants, down there, when we need 4 of 5 balls with 2 new batsmen in

 

[dougdeep]

We have turned the corner. Can't we play at Arundel all season though?

I was never worried....that might have been the effect of the Harvey's mind.

I always thought we were quite comfortable, best knock i've seen in a while by Matt Prior.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Brillinat game yesterday, our batting was very controlled.

The last two games have been the Sussex team we all know and love, I really hope the week off works for them and we carry the winning spirt through to the two Horsham games against Somerset and Worcestershire.

Looking forward to the next Pro 40 game at Horsham, was it just me or will anyone else miss the 40 over game, so much better than 20 20, lasts most of a day allows you to drink, eat, snooze, 20 20 is all queing, rushing and a sense of last orders at the bar please.
