And so it continues.

And so it continues.

I forgot this was on and only just saw the result. It's pitiful really, when the wheels come off for Sussex it tends to derail us in every competition format. Not hopeful we will many more matches in any form of the game now.

Oy Veggie! Are you now telling me that having converted me to Kentishness, you've come back home to Sussex?

hove is becoming an easy venue for the away teams to win at and sussex have gone from a good t2o side to a poor side in t20

I wasn't away for long, I was shown the error of my ways and I have now firmly and fatally, nailed my Sussex colours to the mast.

These long losing sequences are happening every season, our confidence seems so fragile. I think we're missing a few leaders on the pitch, some strong characters who can lift/shake up our shrinking violets.

It has nothing to do with Hove.
It's all to do with Sussex CCC being shit

they are missing key players

 

[mona]

they are missing key players

Missing key bowlers but the batting is not very good anyway. The days of Goodwin and Adams are a long way back now.

 

[fat old seagull]

they are missing key players

I totally agree....about nine of them!

A very disappointing display again from Sussex who just seem to be imploding at the moment.
