Totally agree. It’s 1997 quality.
The mismanagement of Luke Wright has been the most disastrous move. although there have been a few

Tell me more about this mis-management?

 

[DJ NOBO]

Tell me more about this mis-management?

There is a good quality batsman who is a Sussex player but not in the first-class first team picture, for whatever reason.
Meanwhile we have a weak batting line-up.
Mismanagement

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not many wickets, but a fine day spent there today.

And a batsman who spent the winter working on his red ball technique, with the blessing of the club, only to be told that he wouldn't play any red ball cricket when the season started.

Appalling mismanagement

That will be Luke Wright who has chosen to stop playing red ball cricket to extend his career?

Only tells half the story though, doesn’t it? Spent the winter working on red ball to then not be picked for the first game of the season is pretty shocking.

Don't let any reality interfere with NSC charges of "mismanagement"... some bloke who runs his village U14 side obviously knows more than numpties like Rob Andrew, Jason Gillespie and Luke Wright ... [emoji23]

From The Argus

"The former England one-day and T20 international recently revealed to The Argus that he rejected offers from the Pakistan Super League in order to work on his technique against the red ball during an extended pre-season in South Africa with captain Ben Brown.

Wright said: “I worked hard on my red-ball cricket over the winter, but once it became clear that I was going to have a lesser role in the four-day team, it made sense for me to commit my long-term future to the white-ball game only."

Someone who gives up on a lucrative winter contract to work on his red-ball game doesn't sound like someone itching to give up red-ball cricket. That's what I mean by mismanagement - why couldn't Luke have been told at the end of last season that he had no future in first-class cricket?

 

[Surf's Up]

Is Yardy still the ambitiously titled "Batting Coach" - if "yes", any cull should start there.

How do you see Gwylan's post below yours?

What he of solid and sound batting technique?

So you believe the story that was pedalled out ? Luke Wright spent the winter working on his red ball game.. it’s nonsense

 

[maltaseagull]

Surely time for a change when Wells and Finch in 4 innings score 2 runs !

 

[loco61]

important overs being used up by our nightwatchman Ollie R this morning :

Shows that even though the top order are more than struggling at the moment how deep we bat …
let´s hope we can hang on for another draw today
and go again next week against Northants …

What's going on out there?

42.2 Carse to Robinson, FOUR runs,
42.1 Carse to Robinson, FOUR runs,

41.6 Trevaskis to van Zyl, 2 runs,
41.5 Trevaskis to van Zyl, no run,
41.4 Trevaskis to van Zyl, FOUR runs,
41.3 Trevaskis to van Zyl, FOUR runs,
41.2 Trevaskis to van Zyl, no run,
41.1 Trevaskis to van Zyl, FOUR runs,

109-3, 83 overs remaining.

 

[loco61]

first hour almost mastered … Van Zyl continuing his good form this summer! (41*)

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Beer & Robinson to open.

 

[Titanic]

SvZ dropped on 46 (from 176 balls).. not a tricky chance at slip.

140-3, 68 remaining.

 

[Titanic]

Pity... that was a great session for Sussex... Stiaan van Zyl caught behind in the last over before lunch

48 runs from 188 balls... and an 82 run partnership with Ollie Robinson

141-4 (61.3)

64.3 overs remaining, and a new ball due in 18.3. Tough ask.

 

[bhafc99]

If those two could have just lasted till lunch, might have given us a glimmer of a miracle. But that’s a pretty demoralizing moment to go 4 down.
