Yep it might be early April, but the annual disappointment that is Sussex CCC is here.

No toss and Leicester choose to bowl first - understandably.

Here is the team - which is useless unless you know who everyone is.....

Didn't have time to finish my first doughnut if the season before a wicket falls.

At least on the main scoreboard due to data issues we are blank for blank

A young Andrew Strauss?, Oscar Pistorius?, dunno, dunno, Harry Maguire, dunno, Dale Stephens, Sam Curran?, Joe Gatting, dunno, Jason Gillespie?

4th ball, the Sussex way to start a season, and Wells marooned on 0.

Let the disappointment and mixed false hope begin. Sometimes you just wish you could have born been in Lancashire, I hear the bookies are paying out already on them being champions.

Three whole balls before the first wicket fell, so the batting is improving.

Looks a bit gloomy in Hove today.

Wells c Dearden b Taylor 0
5-2

Were loose

Is it possible to get relegated to Minor Counties cricket?

 

[Brovion]

Hmmm. My annual "Is Hoppo out yet?" comment for the first game is too late today as we've lost two wickets in about two minutes.

We're doomed I tells ya, doomed. Have to support the London Swingers or whatever they're going to be called in The Hundred instead.

36/5 and I think we need to start looking for synonyms for poor.

Still we signed yet another fast bowler over the winter so maybe we can just pick a team full of them?

Lets hope we can at least survive till lunch.....

Very difficult start to the season.

Can't really blame the lads who have got ducks - that can happen to anyone.

All 5 wickets to fall are Sussex Academy products. Two imports at the crease now building a bit of a partnership.

Good luck for anyone buying tickets for Day 3 of this - or any other - Sussex County Championship match.

26 runs in 3 1/2 overs, one wicket, all boundaries bar 2 leg byes.
