Sussex v Yorkshire (Arundel) Day One.

[Barrel of Fun]

Fantastic performance by Yasir.

Cue: Sussex relying on their Overseas and buying success from the other jealous county supporters on TMS.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

It is interesting to note that this season Sussex have been very sucessful due in main to Mushy, Rana, the Rhodesian Bloke and now some Palestinian bloke

Its a shame we are not seeing the same from home grown players.

Bit like the Albion in a way

So the fact that Worthing-born Jason Lewry is near the top of the national averages hasn't registered with you yet, Dave?

Yardy - Crucial
Kirtley - Getting back to his best
Lewry - Ace!
RMJ - Class act
Prior - Dodgy form of late..but class is permanent
Hoppo - Coming of age

Some good back up as well.

That is enough to keep me satisfied for now.

And most of your success depends on Darren Lehman, an Australian and Jason Gillepsie, an Australian. It's not Sussex's fault they have built a good relationship with Pakistan and are benfiting from it.

These players aren't mercenaries. They come to Sussex and feel at HOME.

Anyway, back to those crisis talks ....

Oh yeah and Kruis, Brophy and Lumb are all South African as they come.

"our" success came back in the early to middle part of the last century when Yorkshire cricket dominated the county and test arena.

Apart from 1 or two odd championships and cups, success has been very scarce.

The balance of power moved down south, Essex, Middlesex, Surrey and lately sussex, which I suppose can be said to mirror the way the country has gone economically wise.

BTW Although I have played cricket since I was 7 and my father played for Yorkshire 2's in his youth, I have no real interest in watching county cricket at all.( some company jollies are fun)...in fact the only cricket I tend to watch on telly was last years ashes, and the occasional south african game on Sky.

I played against Lewry a few times BTW

Am I right in thinking that Vaughan won't bat now, he's been off the field since yesterday afternoon....

 

[Seagull over NZ]

If he has been off the field for a certain amount of time he can't come in before number 7 I believe.

 

[Gazwag]

78/1 need to start taking wickets 4 and a bit sessions to go

 

[CHAPPERS]

Says on the beeb that's he'll miss a few games now so I can't believe he'll bat in this one.

 

[Yoda]

McGrath gone to Lewry for 58.

Lewry with his second. They are pretty much 3 down as I can't see Vaughan risking himself.

 

[Mr Blobby]

On the BBC site it says Vaughan will miss the next C&G match for Yorkshire, so I would imagine he wont be able to bat today. He is now rated doubtful for the Pakistan series!

Mushy bowled yet this innings?

 

[CHAPPERS]

4 overs for 10 runs. Just warming up.
