[Cricket] Sussex Vs Kent 2 day friendly

[Postman Pat]

After the domination of Hampshire in the previous friendly, Sussex are once again well on top against our neighbors Kent.

We are bowling and currently have Kent at 19-4 from 8.1 overs. Ollie Robinson has bowled 4.1 Overs and has 3-0.

Is this finally our year or should we prepare ourselves for the inevitable once the season begins?

 

[Postman Pat]

Sorry make that 20-5....

 

[Gwylan]

Sorry make that 20-5....

Yeah, but is Stevens due to score his customary runs against us?

EDIT; just seen that he's the fifth wicket - remarkable

 

[Gwylan]

Just seen the ball that got Bell-Drummond out: Ollie won't bowl many better this summer. It was a bit wasted for a friendly

31-6.... This is extraordinary.

Save some for the season lads!

 

[The Oldman]

All started too well. Downward spiral ahead.

That's an interesting clip but I'm not sure that it's wholly accurate. For a start, it's at Canterbury so it would be Kent v Sussex but I'm not convinced that's Sussex.

Later in the film, the caption is Gunn and Lee take the field - but Garnet Lee and George Gunn were the Notts openers, not the Sussex ones.

The film is too grainy to make out the badges so I can't see for sure but Vallance Jupp played for Sussex in that game and he was a big, big bloke - I can't see anyone of his build in the field

Can any one give me an idea of:

Whether Rashid Khan joins us for this years T20*; and

What we can expect form Mir Hamza?

*If so we will have an attack comprising of Jofra, CJ, Tymal, Rashid and Ollie Robinson!!!

Lovely to have our first proper SCCC thread of 2019. Happy New Year to all...!!!

Rashid Khan is very much with us for T20 but don't expect to see Jofra in a Sussex shirt too often this year.

Kent are 78-8 at lunch after staging a bit of a recovery for the 7th wicket.

 

[Don Tmatter]

It’s the batting that needs improvement on from last season, hopefully a fit Van Der Zyl will help.

Kent lulling us into a false sense of security just like Hampshire did last week so we look even more like amateurs than normal when the serious stuff actually kicks off.

I've just read Wisden's 2019 season predictions for Sussex: promoted in 2nd place in the league, T20 winners. How depressing! It's over before it's begun.

You need to be a believer in String Theory to find that a possibility, unfortunately in this Universe it's unlikely.

It's a pre-season friendly! Some of you are reading WAY too much into this. This is Sussex after all, so yeah, enjoy it as this is probably as good as it's going to get this season!

192-9 - Crawley out again.....

Ollie doesn’t make my T20 side I’m affraid. Didn’t play too much last year, and goes for too many runs in that format. Behind Rashid, Archer, Jordan, Archer, Wiese, Briggs and Beer IMO.

With everyone fit and available, we’re due for some fantastic entertainment again this year! Can’t wait for all formats to start.
