[Horton's halftime iceberg]

What a win in the last round, will this game survive the weather this week, Hows the drainage at Arundel, I would love to be out there today.

Phil Salt is having an operation on his hand so Danny Briggs returns the team will be selected from:

Ben Brown (capt/wk), Will Beer, Danny Briggs, Laurie Evans, Harry Finch, Tom Haines, Mir Hamza, Chris Jordan, Ollie Robinson, Abi Sakande, Stiaan van Zyl, Luke Wells, David Wiese

Ye unless Papa Lazarou can pull some miraculous weather forecast out the bag.

Throw a couple of fringe players in for some 1st team experience today (Haines and Sakande).

Very much so, yes.

(But not when best part of three days will be lost to rain)

According to Wiki, its only ever held 54 competitive games, I thought it would have been more, however, I have seen a lot of touring sides there over the years so I imagine those friendly's blur into the proper games.

I have seen us win and lose a few there over the years, but no idea of what the percentages are. Just a lovely day out when the weathers good.

Sussex play Australia A in July at Arundel and it says its free for Sussex members, starts on a Sunday so think I will aim for my day out there on July 7th (four day game)

Off to Wisbech today, Peterborough and Wellingborough tomorrow and Cheshire/Shropshire on Thursday, very poor scheduling by my Clients!

I suppose it might go the four days...

 

[Luke93]

Odd selection.

Will Beer opening the batting!

I thought that was a joke, silly me. Very strange indeed.

Almost going back to the sticky wicket days and the reverse batting line up

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Off to Wisbech today,

Haha thisaway, Haha thataway, Haha thisaway, my oh my.

There's one for the teenagers.

 

[Gwylan]

Will Beer opening the batting!

He's been opening for the Seconds.

It's not new for Sussex. A few years back, Jimmy Anyon played as opener when we had some injury problems and I remember Gunner Gould opening occasionally too

ZZZzzzzzzz.....

They'll be a few of the members nodding off.
