Kravelas won’t be pleased though. He might as well leave if he can’t get in with 2 front line seamers + Lamb out at once.
Having said that I don’t disagree with today’s selection. Clark and Haines are more than useful 4th/5th seam options. A very green looking pitch too.
It’s also an...
Sussex currently sitting (joint) top after 3 rounds. An excellent start on their much waited return to division one.
Hunt reportedly out for 3 months, Crocombe 2 weeks and Lamb still being badly bruised. Karvelas in for the trip to Notts? Or ask Currie if he wants to play red ball cricket again?
Cashin was well hidden until he made his belated solitary appearance. Says a lot when Brighton had injury issues to CBs when he signed! If an out of form recovering from injury Dunk and a CM is preferred to a fully fit Chasin, it’s clear he’s not showing enough in training.
Not all signings...
The North concourse was noticeably emptier than usual when I arrived at 2:30 yesterday.
Do Sodexo also operate the fan zones etc? Can’t imagine they’d be too happy if they don’t! With the Swan and uni bars being good options too, there’s definitely more incentive to arrive earlier without...
With the bottom 3 being particularly poor this season it looks a more competitive (more points needed) to reach the higher European places. But there is a drop off to the 5 teams racing for 8th.
Spurs had 60 points in 8th position in 22/23 when Brighton reached the Europa League (6th, on 62...
Murillo made an equally shocking mistake for Forest yesterday. He’s arguably gonna make the premier league team of the season so clutching at stews here that mistakes can happen to anyone. Just a shame Dunk has accumulated a fair amount.
I do think Dunk has never quite recovered from his...
Not expecting a declaration before 3pm tomorrow with the overs left in the game. With relegation at play in division one, the points weighting for a draw is just too generous to risk.
A 550 run lead with 130 overs left to bowl is about the equation I expect Sussex will want to manipulate.
Dunk hasn’t been as bad as the fan narrative suggests, despite falling from his usual levels. I’d still agree we need cover added in the summer.
Played well today and scored the 5th penalty against Forest. Showing bollcoks. Unlike a lot out there today.
386/5 at the close is some recovery. Simpson is continuing his phenomenal form batting at 6!
14 overs left to secure 64 runs for maximum batting points.
