[Cricket] ***Warwickshire v Sussex, CC Div 2, 11AM KO, Apr 13-16, 2018, Edgbaston***

[Cowfold Seagull]

Start will possibly be delayed due to rain, max temp today 9c if BBC weather is to be believed!!! The other three days getting warmer and dryer. Temp forecast for 21c on Wed up there.

Cue a day trip to Birmingham next Wednesday then. 21 celsius in Birmingham is positively tropical!

Is it POTG?

You need photo ID and no pyrotecnics allowed.

But we can only dream of this rain continuing to take this game past Saturday.

 

[Petee]

Is there any chance that they could retain the services of the Afgan leggie, after the T20?

Or is he committed elsewhere?

I think we only have him for a part of the t20 as he has other commitments

It’s a 4 day game with Birmingham Bears only needing two

 

[Mackenzie]

Hopefully Warwickshire will decide to have a bat, that should take quite a lot of time out of the game.

Will Will Sheffield a 17 year old left arm swing bowler be our next bowling sensation, anyone know where he is from, I assume a local lad.

He is from Uckfield and has grown up playing his cricket for Buxted Park CC.

Regrettably for BPCC for this season he has moved to Mayfield CC to play at a higher level. he can play higher than that.

 

[PHCgull]

What a great schooling, lots of cricket. Still doesnt say where he is from i.e somwhere in Sussex.

BACA is a cricket-specialist school, Will is there for sixth form only. previously at UCTC (now uckfield college)

 

[Shins]

Thank god the rain came, we were looking in trouble there.

If it wasn't for the fact that it would make for a miserable summer, l would almost advocate rain stopping play for every SCCC fixture this season.

 

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps rain being confined to 2 days wherever Sussex are playing would help everybody.

 

[vegster]

Looks like Day One of the season has gone rather well !

Yes better than I expected

Another season, one with some hope that a young side can step up under new management with a brilliant track record.

Injurys already with Garton, Sakande and Briggs all out for this first of two away championship games, and Jordan and Archer also away for 5 weeks in India.

The team we have put forward to try and avoid an embarrassing innings defeat is the following.

Sussex CCC squad:

Ben Brown (c/wk)
Will Beer
Michael Burgess
Harry Finch
Ollie Robinson
Phil Salt
Ishant Sharma
Will Sheffield
Stiaan van Zyl
Stuart Whittingham
David Wiese
Luke Wells
Luke Wright

I make that...

7 × Sussex Academy players
3 × English transfers in (all as unproven potential)
2 × SA imports
1 × top rank overseas

No idea how well they will do but "Dizzy" will have done what is possible in terms of encouraging a positive approach from the chosen XI.

Luke Wright - unproven potential? He's 33, played 100 times for England and is a former captain. Isn't it a bit late to be talking about 'potential' ?

I trust that is a deliberate misunderstanding... [emoji846]

The presence of the now uber experienced LWWW in the squad is of course very welcome and he shoulders considerable responsibility these days.

Honours even at stumps.

A day without bonus points. #startasyoumeantogoon

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I drive right past the ground to and from work.
Was damp and rain/drizzle yesterday.
Same again today.
Needs the hair-dryers out to get the outfield dry.
Might get two days in starting Sunday ...

I'm not sure what I've misunderstood: you said there were three transfers from counties (Wright, Burgess and Robinson) of 'unproven potential'. I was just raising my eyebrows at the description of 33-year-old former captain as having potential.

But yes, I think he'll be better this year, don't think the responsibility of captaincy hung well on him.

Oh well...
