Getting Lawrence quickly would be a good start.

Need to expose the tail within the next 25-30 runs to have a chance

WELL PLAYED SIR

Garton bounces him out for 60

Need 4 wickets

About 10 overs left

Great game, a lot of young Sussex players nearly got to pull off a victory against the champions.

Good come back from such a hammering at Kent.

Batting cost us again, bowlers giving 101% again, batters 75%

Another 30-40 runs and we could have won this.

Very upsetting especially as he was half way through this project. I wonder if the club are ensuring we survive financially, Jason has perhaps stepped aside to save jobs at the club. We are a well run club and need to bring through the youth players to minimise our wage bill during these times. I really like Dizzy on an off the field. He is a sad loss, however he has walked into another job and always will walk into work and a bonus for him to be around his family and not overseas. .
