Haven’t been to Hove for years. Can you get Harvey’s or other real ale?

Not many wickets, but a fine day spent there today. View attachment 112043

Start the car.

141-3 in the over before lunch becomes 143-6

Hello.. is that The Dyke Golf Club?.. do you have tee times for three fourballs? 16:00?... yes that'll be fine.

 

[loco61]

that was an impressive and presumably decisive collapse before and after lunch
14-10-5-4 are pretty good figures

 

[Surf's Up]

Sussex in meltdown...awful performance with the ball and with the bat. Probably won 2 sessions over 4 bloody days, they're making Durham look like worldbeaters. I think they can forget about 3rd place.

Away from Sussex for the moment, Marcus Trescothick has announced that he's retiring at the end of the season. That gives Ben's Grandad just a couple more months to say that he should be back in the England team

Bye, bye Banger, you were a fantastic player

 

[Nobby]

I need to wake up and open my eyes

Cheers

186-7, 80 overs gone so new ball taken and innings about to end...

 

[madinthehead]

197-8 Robinson gone

 

[vegster]

There's always the T20 I suppose ?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Once again:

Robinson + Jordan = 98 runs and counting
Wells, Beer, Finch, Van Zyl, Evans, Brown, Wiese = 85 runs total.

 

[A1X]

It's almost like signing every bowler we could for the last few seasons and virtually nobody who can bat means we don't score runs.

Exactly. Who could have predicted this?

Rawlins having fun, all be over soon...

 

[Brovion]

Why is this? It's not a one-off (or even a two or three-off) it seems to happen every bloody game.
Sort it out Gillespie.

 

[Brovion]

BTW is Yardy still the batting coach? This is what can happen when you appoint ex-players! (With a nod to my posts on the Bruno thread).

It's a bit harsh to include Beer in the latter list - he's a tailender pressed into opening

Saw James Kirtley doing some coaching earlier in the season.
