[Cricket] ***Sussex v Glamorgan match thread ***

[Gwylan]

I've just about calmed down after the Ukraine game and have noticed the Sussex squad for tomorrow's CC game

With eleven players missing, there's a good chance of getting a game if you turn up in your whites - fancy coming up against Labuschagne with this lot?

Full squad

Ben Brown (captain), Will Beer, Jack Carson, Oli Carter, Mitch Claydon, Travis Head, Danial Ibrahim, Archie Lenham, Stuart Meaker, Ali Orr, Joe Sarro, Aaron Thomason, Stiaan van Zyl.

I can't see them playing Beer, Carson and Lenham and I suspect that we'll also lose one of Claydon, Meaker and Sarro. This must be one of the weakest Sussex line-ups I've ever seen.

I wonder if Beer will be an opener - he's done it before.

Always open with beer

Is Lambuschagne playing? I read that he was leaving Glamorgan early for family reasons or something.

It's not a great side for Sussex, but frankly I've given up on winning anything this year anyway.

I've got a village match to score at Staplefield. I would have turned out otherwise. Maybe next time.

I hadn't read that. It's still going to a struggle for Sussex. How many of that squad would be in the team if we had ALL or players available? 3? 4? It's not good

Was hoping to get along tomorrow but the forecast doesn't look promising

I used to own The victory pub in Staplefield.

Perhaps the weather is our only hope

Better of to watch a Sussex Premier league game. More competitive

 

[Gwylan]

Our game has been rained off. And I see there's no play before lunch at Hove - that may take it into a third day

When were you there ?

I shall raise a VICTORY glass to thee today.

Sussex batting first.

All out by 5.00?

 

[GT49er]

Great - we won comfortably on Friday - and keep only four from that team today! Glamorgan have kept seven or eight.

Play due to start in two minutes - covers still on though.


Edit: Correction - here we go!

19/2 usual great start

 

[GT49er]

Sussex won the toss and elected to be bowled out first.

23 for 2, rain stopped play.

 

[Gwylan]

23-3. My prediction of being all out by 5.00 looks a good one

 

[GT49er]

Back out again - and so is Orr! 23 for 3.
