Mark Robinson rejoining on a short term contract. Interesting development.
Sensible move. There’s too much on Farby’s shoulders now he has his new title. and We will need all the experience we can get this summer

A fine afternoon session comes to an end, with Sussex declaring on 323/4 at tea.

James Coles (107*) and John Simpson (97*) with a superb partnership of 174 from 153 balls.

450 for 6 in a day's play! Blimey, who was bowling? They should have asked me (and yes, I'm way too old!)

Poor Ali Orr. Out for a five ball duck.

I might have missed something, what title does Farbs have now?
Second Division Winners.

But hopefully he needs to make more space.

IIRC he’s director of cricket operations now which probably means less time doing direct coaching

RIP Peter Lever.

A little bit before my time. Others may have memories. I was a bit surprised the Chatfield incident didn't speed up the introduction of helmets. I'm surprised there weren't fatalities back then.

He could be quite quick on his day, but didn't last.

I LOVE the old clips of cricket coverage in the old days. BBC1/2 all day on TEST cricket for home series and the camera only at one end of the pitch😁.
Lever was part of that immortal period of Lancashire cricket. Agnew wrote a lovely piece about him for BBC sport today - RIP Peter

Great to hear the legendary Peter West at the start of the commentary. Famous for his bewildering analogies. I fear that sort of commentary is long lost. I was only a kid, but I loved it.

Day 1 of the final preseason friendly v Hants at Hove, Sussex ended 107/1 after 30 over in response to 285/5 in 60. Hughes 53 (83) in his first innings since injury early on in the Aussie domestic season

The martlets are away to Warks first up, starting on Friday. In their final warm-up v Northants the bears amassed 504-0 after batting for 90 overs - six of the eight batsmen to take strike retiring their innings.

I think it starts on Friday.

Do any folks here know any newsagents that stock The Cricket Paper ? It's from the Greenways stable and The Rugby Paper was always a good read. So I fancy getting it this year.
