[Cricket] ***Offical end of summer, Sussex CCC v Worcestershire CC, Hove 23-26 Sep, 10.30 KO, CC***

No Salt then? That shakey top order looks even worse without him.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Dizzy has said we are in the end negotiations for a top order overseas batsman and also another seam bowler.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Some proper action from Rawlins there, getting out on the penultimate ball of the day.

 

[Nottseagull]

How can the official end of summer be three months after Midsummer's Day? The Meteorological Office states summer in the UK is June, July and August. In my experience, there have been several years when 1st September has seen a marked drop in temperatures from the previous day, so I think the Met must be correct.

We should be in negotiations for a good coach too.

Because 3 months after the Longest day, you have the Vernal Equinox, you can't really call it Summer when the night is longer than the day ?

Good championship cricket with Brown and Clark occupying the crease. Don’t worry about the lack of runs, they will come and the Worcs bowlers will tire and we will then smash the ball around. You wait.

Oh

Of course you can't.
But then again, I wasn't saying that you can, was I

Rods coming down outside here in central Brighton, the cricket season peter's out.

No play so Sussex still 150 for 5

Brown and Clark still hanging in there.

Wow they are playing and have 2 bonus points.

Sussex are 261 for 7

Disagree, Dizzy is one of the worlds best coaches and fits our club perfectly, we need to develop young players and attract seasoned professionals to help them.

Dizzy is in for the long hall, I am sure he was given three years to get us a team to challenge so lets see what team we start with next year.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Shame to see another season ending, but in one that's been a wonderful advert for the game, things on this part of the south coast have been a bit flat.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Shame that after all this time, the weather over four days will decide the season !

Yes if only the ECB would let them play 4 day cricket in the summer months.

At close Sussex are 299 for 8

Lets hope they get another 1-2 bonus points and get their shirt sleeves rolled for a final bowl of the season tomorrow.

Signed Travis Head for next season.

That's right,

And a decent one too. Struggled a bit in the tests over here but did well in Oz: he'll be quality against Div 2 attacks

 

[timbha]

That’s a good move

 

[Pevenseagull]

have we finally got around to replacing Murray Goodwin?
