*Lancashire v Sussex, Aigburth, County Championship - Division One, 12-15 April 2012*

[Moshe Gariani]

SJ Magoffin 16 overs 9 maidens 21 runs 2 wickets 1.31

not a bad first spell, lets hope he is just limbering up

Looks like a typical Nobbo signing... obviously a seam bowler's paradise up in Rainyshire and our big overseas star manages a magnificent 2 wickets in SIXTEEN overs of largely ineffective toil.

What makes it worse is that the expensive Aussie journeyman is keeping Hatchet and other HOMEGROWN TALENT out of the side.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

we mustn't let them get more than about 16 in this first innings.

Exactly. We've had to let go of club legends like Chad Keegan to make way for him.

I know. That makes grim reading doesn't it.

Take a long look at how this thread develops over the next few days before finally committing yourself to joining the NSC Cricket Flids for the summer. For most of us it's a relaxing diversion from the winter trauma that is BHA although the decision of Sussex CCC last year to adopt the Greene King antichrist at Hove did result in a degree of stress for many due to the removal of Harveys.
Some additional pointers to help you assimilate:
1) Our senior players, particularly batsmen, are always totally crap during April and much of May - you will have seen that in the game vs Surrey last week.
2) I'm not sure we have any bowling this season (apart from Monty Panasar that is).
3) Our former Pakistani leg spinner, Mustaq Ahmed (Mushy), is everyone's hero on here; never, ever post anything negative about him.
4) Chris Nash is always likely to get out early - be prepared.
5) Joe Gatting is one of the better young players at Sussex, the fact that he used to "play" for the Albion (and was poor) has been a problem for us all. Still, at least he's not Chris McPhee.
6) The BBC Radio Sussex Cricket Commentary is a must - just listen to the nonsense and you'll pick up what we're all wittering on about.

Enjoy the summer.

it will be perfect for me, when I start the old dough-kneading job, I won't be able to go football on saturdays so weekday cricket in the summer might be the bomb.

I hope you're OK Mr Popps? We do offer a 14 day cooling off period if you want to re-consider joining.

Joyce and Goodwin striding out to the middle.........I'll give them eight balls before one of them is striding back again.

Can I sell that "Batflids" quote...?

Yea of little faith!! Nash lasted 12 . 10 for 2 Will we get a first innings lead though?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Ooh, a partnership is building between our two most accomplished batsmen... must be all that intensive pre-season work done by Goodwin

Goodwin is a f***ing joke at the start of the season. Has been the same for each of the past 5 years or so.

It is a shame that it is so completely impossible to work out what might conceivably help him to do a bit better...
