Sussex v Derbyshire, LVCC, 18-21 August, Horsham festival

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Well its getting close with Glamogan currently in a tight game against Middlesex in Cardiff, so goes without saying we need to win.

Weather looks forcased for light showers Thursday and Saturday.

The side that drew with Surrey was:

Yardy (C)
C Nash
Joyce
Goodwin
Thornely
Adkin
B Brown (W)
Arafat
Rayner
Panesar
Collymore

Perhaps Hatchett and Wright will be recalled and replace Adkin and Thornely, Hodd for Brown as options.

Looks like the Glamorgan v Middlesex game will be a result but hopefully Glamorgan won't set Middlesex any more than 200 to win in the 2nd innings. We will need to win this game as I back Glamorgan to beat Middlesex and claim a high points tally despite missing out on the batting points.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I should have kept quiet, Glamorgan now 107 ahead. Dalrymple has a broken finger so will bat 9.

Hopefully we will use our home outfield advantage to keep up with Glamorgan in the title race.

Glamorgan 120 for 8

137 ahead and Dalrymple in and batting with a broken thumb.

Cant see Brown not playing after his good game at Guildford, possibility of Hodd playing just as a batsman instead of Thornley?

I was thinking that, how was Browns glove work at Guildford, I wondered even if he may be played as a batmans and a specalist slip fielder.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

I was only there Thursday but he kept well IMHO

 

[Marc]

crap weather is the drawback for any spectators this week, todays 2nd XI match was woeful.....and I'm talking about the rain not the actual match!

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Dosnt look too bad according to Metcheck, except Friday, looks dreadful

 

[Marc]

trouble is they never forecast the rain today, even the metoffice rain radar fails to pick up heavy drizzle (like today) so you cant be too sure about this week. Tomorrow should be fine until mid afternoon by the looks of it, still even with 5-day forecasts I usually only take notice of the next 12-24hours and nothing beyond that

 

[e77]

Hoping to get up on Saturday.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I was only there Thursday but he kept well IMHO

I also thought he kept well and that Monty bowled tidily too.
Might get down to the Cricketfield on Thursday provided I can find my membership card.

Wish I was up there today but work gets in the way. I am down to go Sunday for the big one day game agaisnt Somerset.

Weather is bright and sunny in central Brighton so lets hope it reachs the furthur corners of West Sussex.

I am pretty slow on the uptake and only discovered the Live Argus feed the last two games and find them an excellent way to get detail of what is happening, must see if they work on my phone.

Sussex have a decent record at Horsham. They have not lost a Championship game there since 1998, ironically against this week’s opponents.

DOOMED....

I remember going to that - they completely thrashed us. Dominic Cork hit a ton IIRC

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Looks like Hodd may even bat three.

Lets hope Collymore is on his game. Tannoy in full flow..
