There may be a few collapses this summer....

That said, so what ? Let's watch this team develop.

 

[Gwylan]

Decent start from Sussex 55 without loss in the first hour. Haines racing away with 38

 

[Scappa]

73/1 in the 20th

Thomason c. Smith b. J Clarke 18

Haines 46no
van Zyl new to the crease

 

[Gwylan]

50 up for Haines

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Managing to watch via an open gate. Haines hit a lovely cut for 4

 

[Gwylan]

107-1 at lunch
Haines 63 no

Must be a road

Sussex play their first pre-season friendly tomorrow (against Slurry at The Oval)

No Ollie or Salt (that will fuel some rumours), obviously Jofra and CJ are with England and Claydon's banned but Stiaan's back. I think Head is arriving at the end of April.

There are quite a few youngsters in the squad: Carson, Crocombe and Clark played last year but there some more new names, including Neil Lenham's lad, Scott (there's a younger brother too who's also meant to be useful)

There's always a spring in my step when cricket starts. Our club's nets start on 10 April so I've just got my gear from the loft.

Oh, and wheel loose

Neil Lenham's lad Scott. Makes me feel old. In my distant past I can remember when 'Les Lenham's lad, Neil' was breaking into the team.

I think there's another Lenham (Archie?) that is quality too. Bowls leg spin

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Are Slurry managing to provide us with a livestream today from The Hovel...?

There's a live scorecard from the Cricket club.

Yes, I mentioned him. He's a few years younger but has already played for Eastbourne's first XI

Not only are they Les's grandchildren and Neil's sons but they're the nephews of James Pyemont who played a few matches for Sussex back in the day.

Sussex now 114-1

Interesting interview with Ian Salisbury

Good genes!

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

100 for Haines! Good effort against a decent attack

 

[amexer]

My tip for top Scott Lenham Looked outstanding when I saw him playing for Eastbourne

 

[Change at Barnham]

205/3. A good couple of sessions for the Sussex youngsters.

Tom Haines out for 106.

 

[albionalex]

Sussex are in a long term transitional stage. I hope folk can show patience.

I think there will be a lot more patience now Gillespie has gone.

 

[Gwylan]

239-3 at tea

Clark and Brown going well - 50 partnership

 

[Gwylan]

303-3 half centuries for Clark and Brown. The skipper brought up the 300 with a six - way to do it

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Got a good feeling about Haines

Someone please make note of this as it's probably the only accurate thing I've forecast about sport ever

Blimey, Slurry 31-3 - Hunt has a wicket against his former club. He's meant to be quite useful, hope they come to regret letting him go
