[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2023 Season Edition

[DJ NOBO]

There is some truth in that. Hampshire are always seen as the rivals when it comes to pairings Sussex-Hampshire, Surrey-Middlesex, Kent-Essex.

But I think all those counties love a victory over Surrey.

Some see Kent as the rivals, but cricket is not given to hardcore rivalries anyway. Well, Yorkshire & Lancashire excepted.

Surrey are our palace.
Always have been.

 

[albionalex]

Great win considering we were without our two overseas players.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Surrey are our palace.
Always have been.

Nobody likes Surrey.
In the centre of hell, sits the devil, munching on Palace, Surrey and Hampshire. The Unholy Trinity.
I've always got on well with the Kent fans I've met over the years, they all seem to agree that Hampshire and Surrey are bellends while Sussex/Kent are alright.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Still blown away by yesterday.
Without khan and McAndrew, and Haines and Rawlins…
Playing against win-hungry international-packed monopolisers Surrey and their “total cricket” team (the smug tw*ts to come up with that).
At The Oval.
I’m trying to think of another Sussex win that compares.
In another time, this would have got a lot more press attention.

Well said. It was an extraordinary win. One things for sure Ravi is on fire this summer.

Has your opinion of Burgess changed?

 

[Munchkin]

Feel good factor back at Sussex.

One swallow doesn’t make a summer but lots of positives these first few weeks of the season.

Farbrace a breath of fresh air.

James Cole’s looks a special talent.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Has your opinion of Burgess changed?

Fair question ! The pacing, control and range of shots he showed yesterday was really impressive. Altogether different to Friday when he was all at sea.
Still think he’s an average keeper and Alsop is an underrated keeper. If Alsop keeps we can bring in an extra bat like Ward (decent player ) which we need. But of course if burgess plays like that, he himself is the extra batting firepower.
I think Clark needs dropping - maybe push burgess up the order to open? Plenty of options - Coles, Ward or a maverick like Garton Perhaps.

He has looked crap from what I have seen.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Reminder that the T20 game is on YouTube tonight

 

[albionalex]

No Orr, he will be a miss at the top of the order. Shadab back but no McAndew again.

 

[The Oldman]

No Harmsy commentatating?

 

[albionalex]

Bopara gone in first over.

 

[albionalex]

Pathetic from Sussex batters.

15/4. Hat trick from Harmer.

 

[Badger]

It's Harmer Time.


...gets coat.

 

[jakarta]

This is more like it from Sussex...

 

[Change at Barnham]

The fightback begins 39/4 after 5 overs.

8.33 runs per over required for the next 15 overs.

 

[jakarta]

Folding nicely at 66-6 after 8 overs. Pathetic...

 

[HantsSeagull]

same old pile of shite

 

[albionalex]

In his limited T20 games last season he was struggling to get it off the square.

Pretty sure Harrison Ward can keep wicket too.

Same again for Carter tonight.
