[Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition

[albionalex]

The Gloucestershire throw away is really going to hurt. Both teams should be on 8 in the table. May well be academical though. Can’t see Sussex winning the last 4, and even that will probably not be enough.

Alsop not playing the first two games has cost us too.

It seems to be muddled thinking by the management. Overseas players coming and going and only playing a game or two. Seconding other county's cast offs and expecting them to want to play for Sussex. Alsop alone has been a success. Beer should be playing T20. He is only contracted for white ball for goodness sake. Haines is a rising star. As was said by albionalex, surely he would have been the better option than Crocombe who only bowled the one over. Hopefully the sale of the apartments will provide the required income to rebuild this once great club that has become easy pickings in all formats.

Agreed. Was a baffling decision.

I suspect the cash from the flats will guarantee some non player salaries first. I do hope we get a continual stream of income ((ie rents) rather than a lump sum otherwise we’ll be skint in 2 years.

 

[The Oldman]

I just despair how we have become such a third rate club in such a short time.

 

[Pevenseagull]

If Rob Andrew is getting more than minimum wage he's a waste of money

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Good luck getting anyone to pay £30 to watch a losing team who can’t qualify for the next stage.

It’s possible to make excuses for a lot of Salisbury and Kirtley’s failings - injuries, no money, good players wanted to leave club etc.
But not playing Alsop in the first two games was just unforgivably poor judgment.

As for today, why play Crocombe? He’s proven cannon fodder at this level.

He's a waste of money!

Matt Machan and Tymal Mills getting into a bit of a spat on Twitter.

 

[albionalex]

Not sure what Ward has done to warrant opening the batting.

Not sure what Ward has done to warrant opening the batting.

not sure what he has done to warrant being a professional cricketer

 

[albionalex]

Seems bizarre that Alsop, our 2nd best batter, isn't coming in the top 3. Surely want him to face as many balls as possible.

He normally comes in quite quickly thanks to those who precede him....still, tonight we are having a bit of a go at this, although it's too late to make an impact on the table.

12 in 13 deliveries - hardly spectacular

 

[keaton]

Just flicked it on to see Bopora being a bellend and getting out stupidly

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Awful again, Bopara playing a four day game.

This lot are pathetic.

It’s crap saying they’re skint it’s not true.

 

[Taybha]

Garton will absolutely tonk these pies

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Decent total in the end. Nice to see Jordan take some stick.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Thankful for a few at the end but not going to be enough, I expect.

We have lost any bottle to take the game to the opposition.
