Sussex V Northants, Tue 7th- Fri 10th

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Sussex will probably clinch promotion back to division 1 if they take 8 pts in this game and even have a chance of winning the title.
There is a good offer on for anyone who donates any cricket kit, to Kit for Africa, then you can have free admittance
One glove, one pad, one boot and a cricket box each day could save a non member £60

That sounds like a good cause.

Northants could do us a double favour by beating Glouscester and then losing to us. I imagine we will be without Yardy, Wright and Yassir but gain Prior, so may have in a younger side.

Cannot believe its another season nearly over, lets hope a win gets us the title and we can extend that chant, we won one trophy in....

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Group of us going up to Worcester for the final game, and hopefully celebrating the championship

 

[Uncle Buck]

Why no Yassir?

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Yassir may well be playing for Pakistan

 

[Andrew]

Shall walk down after school after each of the days!

Looking forward to it.

 

[Marc]

Weather not looking good at present, lets hope it clears through and does not waterlog the outfield.

From the Sussex website (No Joyce);

Matt Prior returns to the squad following his involvement in the Npower Test Series between England and Pakistan, but skipper Michael Yardy and Luke Wright are unavailable as they themselves are on England duty. Ed Joyce misses out through illness, so Michael Thornely and Luke Wells are added to the squad. Murray Goodwin will captain the side.

Side from the following squad;

JE Anyon
BC Brown
CD Collymore
MW Goodwin (c)
AJ Hodd
CD Nash
MS Panesar
MJ Prior
OP Rayner
MA Thornely
LWP Wells
Yasir Arafat

Don't forget its an early start if you are heading down due to it being September.Looks like we may play 3 wicket keeper/batsman.

 

[Marc]

tomorrow looks like a right crap day

Bollocks - f***ing weather, I have the next four days off work to watch this. :US:

Northants won the toss and will bat.

Nothing on this link

BBC - Live - Sussex commentary

Perhaps play is delayed or Leesey is still on the number 7 up from the radio station in Queens Road.

 

[Gwylan]

And as HHI pointed out, three wicket keepers - I wonder if that's a first

 

[Peter Grummit]

Anyone else having problems with commentry?

Yes, its not working.

Northants 4-0.

Young opening batting line up, great chance for Thornley and Brown lets hope they are the future stars.

End of season fun, they could rotate the gloves every session and perhaps all have a bowl each.

Lets hope they all get in and the wicket keeper union get a few partnerships going. Any side without a keeper next season will be sniffing around us this winter.
