Is this lad related to our hapless coach??

This season has been a disaster for Mark Davis and unless he has a mass clear out and at least tries to blood the youth (and a few that can actually bat) then I see nothing else but more of the same for a few more seasons :-(

He is hardly a 'lad'...

Christian Arthur Linghorne Davis

Current age 23 years 296 days

 

[Brovion]

Just think how Middlesex must feel - we beat them! Will they ever live down the humiliation?

Must be his nephew then or won some competition to have a game for Sussex CC?

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

It would appear that the answer to your interrogative thread title is yes. Yes, it could get worse.

 

[fat old seagull]

Now 5-3. Good lord, this is dire....

..is it, looks average to me. I've realised the very worst thing of all, is that having watched and supported Sussex for decades, this season I've now gone past caring.....Now for me that is sad!

Perhaps a Braille Crossword ?

 

[Sargey]

Cachopa b Stevens 32

77 - 4

Hudson Prentice in now

 

[Gwylan]

Blimey, you ask him to blood some youth and have a go at him for doing just that.

This looks like a good team to me: we're out of the competition so let's have a look at some of the younger lads.

And Christian Davis is the guy who scored a few against us this year playing for Leeds/Bradford and scored a record-breaking 258 for the Seconds last week

 

[Taybha]

Just looked at the table and i'm not sure the teams around Kent will be that happy with our starting 11 today

Must be his nephew then or won some competition to have a game for Sussex CC?

Scored 258 against Glamorgan for the second team last week, the highest score made by a second eleven player in Sussex's history.


This is exactly what we should be doing at this stage of the season, having a look to see how the youngsters do in the first team.

156/7.

Collapso cricket

 

[Uncle Buck]

The second collapse is almost as impressive as the first one...
