The Covid isolation is nearly over which means that the eight missing last week are now available. So, welcome back to the squad Robbo, Haines, Atkins and Hunt. James Coles and Harrison Ward also join the group. Van Zyl is out on his ear - Salisbury says that he hasn't scored enough runs for an...

... Mike Atherton remembering the 1981 Ashes series https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/d265db76-e0c0-11eb-bac0-9597568b601f?shareToken=dea50506b9b49b8a9c1fb46206501ecb One of the best articles I've read this year: what a summer that was, Sad to hear about Hendo though, a really whole-hearted...

I've just about calmed down after the Ukraine game and have noticed the Sussex squad for tomorrow's CC game With eleven players missing, there's a good chance of getting a game if you turn up in your whites - fancy coming up against Labuschagne with this lot? Full squad Ben Brown (captain)...

.. . playing a 20/20 against Yorks could possibly win within 10 overs. That's some achievement https://sussexcricket.co.uk/match-centre?customer-id=B20CB641-6F61-4AEA-AD19-8CF645FBB399&match-id=87b85cbe-03cb-4937-abb0-edf75baebe6a#

What's with the phrase "into the weeds"? About two weeks ago, I'd never heard it being used, but now I hear or see it about half a dozen times a day. Where the hell has it come from and why has it been adopted by every second person at work? And how long before our friends up the road start...

Sussex has obviously thought that its teams this year have been a bit too elderly and are looking to include a bit more youth. So, Clark, Rawlins and Garton have been dropped (Garton is being rested) and in come two teenagers Sarro and Ibrahim - along with the 57*-year old Claydon. Squad: Ben...

Fourth in the table now #Potter out

A big day for Sussex today as they welcome spectators back to the ground. Unfortunately, they won't be able to see Ollie Robinson, who's on England duty, Phil Salt, still recovering from his bike injury, and Chris Jordan, who's in quarantine. Sussex squad: Ben Brown (c), Jamie Atkins, Jack...

For those moaning about the quality of the team now, I've been looking back at 1974 - where we seemed to lose every game The team against Worcs at Hastings was something to behold: Morley Groome Barclay Graves Mendis Wisdom Snow Mansell Spencer Waller Phillipson That's a tail that started at 6...

Stevo is in a partnership with Miguel Cummins that currently stands at 142 ... Cummins has scored 1 He's getting better as he gots old, he'll be like Garry Sobers by the time he's 50

I've got used to the bizarre NSC ads, which seem to have nothing to do with my browsing habits, but there's a particular weird one right now. I'm getting an ad for the Subway at Moulsecoomb. That's not too strange (although I've never eaten at Subway or searched for it online, it is less than a...

Jofra returns! He's in the line-up with Ollie and George Garton (two England probables and one England possible in the attack) Travis Head makes his home debut but still no salt Kent have got Sussex traitor Muyeye making his f/c debut, lining up alongside Stevens, who's old enough to be his...

After the hard-fought defeat by Lancashire, Sussex are getting closer to full-strength. Ollie Robinson returns to the team and Travis Head finally makes his first appearance. Amazingly, our batting hasn't been too bad (we have the most batting points in the group and second most in the whole...

Robbo has been rested for the game, having played in all three games. I'm not sure Maurice Tate would have been rested after bowling 100 overs, but there you go. There's still no Head either - and no word when he's arriving (it was originally after two games). Sussex team Ben Brown, Jamie...

Only one change in the Sussex squad with Mitch Claydon replacing Stuart Meaker. Hope Sean Hunt gets another chance, thought he looked useful. It's a pity that Jof isn't playing, he's back at Sussex now but he's either not fully fit or has been stopped by the ECB. This will be a tough one...

I know, from previous threads, that there have been some people struggling in the pandemic. I was one of them, just about keeping afloat in these past few months. I had been applying for jobs, but as I'm 64, I wasn't that hopeful. However, I got lucky: I'm starting a new job in a couple of...

There's still no Phil Salt and no sign of Head's arrival (I think he misses the first two games) https://sussexcricket.co.uk/news/squad-named-championship-opener That looks a very thin batting line-up with Thomason as opener and Ollie coming at number 8 There's no Wells in the Lancashire...

We're finding fame outside England now. I never thought I'd see an article in L'Equipe about us https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Brighton-est-elle-l-equipe-la-plus-malchanceuse-d-europe/1237672 I won't print it out as I don't want the wrath of Bozza on my head but, to summarise, it...

Anyone know a dentist in Brighton who's accepting NHS patients? I've tried four today without success. My son has broken his tooth and needs fixing

Sussex play their first pre-season friendly tomorrow (against Slurry at The Oval) No Ollie or Salt (that will fuel some rumours), obviously Jofra and CJ are with England and Claydon's banned but Stiaan's back. I think Head is arriving at the end of April. There are quite a few youngsters in...
