Not too good at technical stuff am I? Or at answering your quizzes.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

I had to Google the answer as well. If I said the player in question also played for East Grinstead would that help anyone or is that too big a clue? 
Managed to get there by googling a random Surrey v Sussex match from 1990ish, looking at the Sussex attack and thinking "oh yeah, it'll be him".
Top fact that.

I'll add a clue to say that this player did play Test cricket- although he may wish to thank his fiance for the opportunity he got... It didn't help much as England suffered one of their worst ever defeats. Possibly even one of the quickest defeats ever.

Not sure what Roger Knight was doing at 11. He didn't bat in the first innings either, and that with Surrey batting first. May have been injured. Whatever it was, it got Surrey the draw.

He had the most expensive economy rate at Lord's in the 1993 NatWest Trophy final for a Sussex bowler though. 31 years later it doesn't get any easier.

Yes, I was there that day
. At tea Warwicks were 7-1 at the bookies. Sussex had set a record total that lasted four hours.

I missed that one but I was there in 1963!My first trip to Lord's that was.......
Just to make it clear, I'm not suggesting that I'd do it but the Sussex management team have been very clear about giving young players a chance (hence no overseas players for the One Day Cup). I was just wondering whether they'll take the opportunity to give a couple of youngsters a game.
Judging by the weather forecast, it looks like it won't matter what team we'll put out, as most of it will be rained off
I’m kinda hoping the weather forecast is right and we’ll get sufficient points to finish top although it’d be nice to be watching as we get over the line by taking a wicket or scoring a run.

I understand the idea, but I can't see them doing it. Need those 5 points in the bag.
I'm more interested in what they do if they win the toss. Perhaps bat. There's five points all at once there if it goes well. But, rather than a flat top, maybe a pitch that's a bit more balanced so Sussex need 300 and an all out.

Too wet i'm assuming rather than rain, i'm in Shoreham and it's not rained as much as expected yet......
Leeds looks like a write off today but forecast for them is not too bad for Days 2, 3 and 4.
The CC is such a shambles with the current fixture set up
Fixtures this late in the year are always going to be rain affected
Thankfully Sussex only need 6 points for the title, but if there was 10 points between 1st and 3rd it shouldn't be down to where there is less rain to who goes up/wins title.

It's feeling decidedly uncrickety today in BN3.
