I have to say - from the perspective of somebody who has been watching at work all day, and who finishes work at 5.30pm - that is a SUBLIMEY well judged chase

Both Lamb and Simpson look like superb bits of recruitment.

Got to say saw Sussex on Friday and Lamb looked very useful and did wonder why he didn't get a down the slope bowl early change ?

Nice to get a win after having partial chances in the first 2 games.
Early days but team seem to have a bit about them and some spirit at last.

Not as long ago as Gloucestershire whose last county championship win was in 2022!
I think I'm safe to post on a day when Sussex aren't playing without us immediately losing a wicket.
Not Sussex related, but the first day of county cricket I've made it to this season.
Browne facing Carse, the ball was stopped at short mid-off.
Slightly irritating that the Riverside isn't open on the other side anymore, although my recollection is that the car park over there wasn't much better to look at than a stand missing all its seats anyway.

Splendid stuff. I've only been to the Riverside once- May 1995. I was a nuts traveler in those days , driving there and back the same day from Brighton and up for my village match the following day.
I saw Sussex up here for a Pro40 game in 2006, a few days after the C&G final. Montgomerie hit a 50 as we won comfortably.

Also saw Pietersen switch hit Scott Styris for 6 in an ODI in 2008, which blew everybody's minds because you couldn't do that to a seamer in those days.

I can confirm that although it's not yet raining here in Leek ATM it's heavy grey overcast and forecast for rain 
covering effectively Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire otherwise would have gone, and that forecast shows no sign of changing over the next few days.
