Why is Prior not playing?

He has an achilles strain.

He is down to play as a batman's in Manchester and as wicket keeper against Durham

If he gets through I imagine he will then play for England

Sangakkara down to play for Durham at Hove as well

The so-called "middle order" we're completely blasted away by Somerset in both innings. Ok, Somerset had the best of the conditions but our middle order batting was shocking, in particular Yardy Machin and HB. Nash and Wright were playing in the 2nd XI game at Horsham and both got half centuries so hopefully they'll be back and with Prior also in line for a batting slot in the next couple of games maybe this game will just be a blip. Credit to Somerset though, they batted better, bowled better and fielded better.

To be honest, our middle order has looked poor since Goodwin left.

You kidding? Looked worse that last season he played.

Fine. Our middle order has sucked since 2011! Happy now?

Carried bats

Has it happened before that 2 different batsman have opened in both innings and each carried his bat in one of them?

 

[:J)]

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question - but its of no consequence for SCCC, as Joyce is out for 93. 190 for 8, still about 50 short of the total.

Somerset 372
Sussex 142 & 201/9 (64.2 ov) (f/o)
Sussex trail by 29 runs with 1 wicket remaining

Not long until the end....

 

[Badger]

SURELY Sussex can't lose from this position

Perhaps Gooch was actually after a job, and not checking on Prior at all

Still top, just letting the others catch up a little. Got to be fair.
