That's a strong team we've put out. Lot's of form players (in this format) in there. Jon Howick has said it's a green wicket, so we need to win the toss and bowl.

They have put us in! I thought last night's wicket had a little more pace an bounce than normal, I'm assuming Middx think the four day wicket will be the same and they can roll us over quite quickly.


I think they are right.

Out of interest, why's this match starting at 12:00 noon rather than the usual 11:00 am?

Played a late 20/20 last night. Rest of the days start at 11

Nice to see Sussex sticking by RHB, despite his Goodwinesque batting form. He's got to come right at some stage.

As I said above, Jon howick has reported the wicket to be pretty green, so a good wicket to take first bowl on. We need some careful batting in the first session.

Middlesex will have to bat carefully at the end of the first session, too.

Is Eoin Morgan currently injured for Middlesex? I notice he's not in the line-up for them and he didn't play in the T20 last night either.

I think he needed an operation after the Champions trophy. IIRC it was something to do with his wrist.

I don't think he's very good anymore

Toying with us at the moment. We're 42/0 from 10.3 ovs.

[Knightsworld]

Wells gone for 15

I'd imagine he'd still get in Middlesex's first XI when fit and available.

Well and Yardy gone.

Joyce and Nash at the crease, for now.

were loose

 

[spring hall convert]

Does anyone know what time tea is & if you can still get in for free afterwards? I'd like to take advantage of the late start and catch a couple of hours when I finish work.

 

[Brovion]
