[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I have tickets in the South stand for finals day.

Thanks - did they say in which way? Hoping we get the early semi to avoid the clash with Ipswich home game.

I believe if Birmingham win then our game vs them would be on first, whereas if Glos win then our game would be on 2nd.

I believe this is because Birmingham are the top ranked side and Surrey the second ranked side.

Hopefully the club will put the semi final on the screens

Been the last 4 years but typically didn't get tickets for this year Great day out - was in the Hollies the last couple of years. Utter carnage, all day

Hopefully Sussex will be first on. That'll help matters.

Indeed this my 4th time

I love our language or at least, the written version.

Other versions are available.

Did I hear right on Wed, that all four sides won't be allowed to field any of the current England T20 squad, so we lose Archer but Surrey lose half their team?

You heard correctly

Yep. Surrey won’t have Topley, Curran and Jacks (and possibly Smith and Atkinson). The poor things will be reduced to playing their second string international players.

 

[Lenny Rider]

It does seem bizarre the ECB put finals day the same time as a T20 international series?

Everything the ECB does is bizarre. Utterly woeful custodians of the game

All scheduling decisions are undertaken by the ECB, after a very long liquid lunch.

Its almost like having a 'full' EPL programme on an International weekend

More akin, I'd say, to having the FA Cup Final, during an international break!

Either way its clueless, and to add insult to injury, my daughter gets married in Spain that day, but I was hoping I could at least watch the first first semi final in my local before going to the venue, apparently Sussex are on second!

 

[DJ NOBO]

It’s not bizarre , it’s not clueless. It’s the predictable actions of an organisation that doesn’t value the importance of the county game

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's ABSURD that teams can't go full strength into the finals day. Maybe they need to have played a certain amount of games throughout the tournament to be eligible for finals day or something but this is MAD.
