[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

[Eeyore]

I wonder if Uncle Tony has stats on cricket players as well. It would be great to come up with an undiscovered gem as an overseas player - someone at about the third of the price of an established big name but does a lot more. Or an under-appreciated county player: don't forget that when we picked up Robbo, he was without a county.

I wonder what sort of team we'll put out against Middlesex. It wouldn't surprise me to see a couple of kids in it. I think they'll keep the bowling attack but wonder whether we'll see the likes of Ibrahim, Rogers, Tear and ZLC be given a game (not all of them, but a couple of changes).

I think Robbo's talents were well known, it was just his disciplinary record. I'd say Luke Wright would be a good example.

Little quiz questions for folks.

Which Sussex player's first three wickets came from a hat trick against a county he would move to many years later ? (last 50 years)

I'll have a guess at Ed Giddins. (No idea really, a total stab in the dark)

I really hope this is not the case. We need just 5 bonus points to secure the TITLE. Middlesex need a maximum point win, for a slim chance of overhauling Yorkshire, so will be absolute full strength.

Throwing away the title now, would really leave a fantastic season, with a bitter aftertaste.

It would be like Villa Park all over again.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Play the strongest possible team and go for the win. There is a trophy on the line after all.

Was it Andrew Babington? He took a hat trick but didn't think they were his 1st wickets (he had taken one in the over before I think)

Have you been drinking too much champers? I would be livid if I was left out of this match so a youngster could get some experience (what would it prove anyway?). If Farbrace has done anything it has been to create a winning mentality, a team of winners…. And we want to win every match and finish top of the pile.
Strongest team available please!

Putting out anything other than a full strength side would be madness, IMO.

Dermot Reeve?

Ian Salisbury?

My word. None of the above. I didn't think this one would last as long. One of these has the correct county that he joined, which isn't in the West Country or the Midlands.

 

[Eeyore]

Can any of you dear chaps tell me where I can buy the Cricket Paper locally ? It's a good rag and I'd rather not put on subscription.

So it's most likely Surrey but could be Hampshire (think Giddins played for them)

CJ?

Think 70s/80s/early 90s

It is Surrey (I forgot Giddins spent a season there)

Ed Giddins was one Sussex player I would have been confident bowling to

I got it , with the help of the internet . good one.

I get a copy of the Cricket Paper from Ian Greig ? But he's in Australia these days.

And he's not said player either
