I don't know about that, we've had some cracking games over the years - several going down to the final over. But you need sensible coaches. One match last year I took two of our bowlers off as they were too good for the batters, we still bowled them out for about 30. I did my best but it was...

I looked at the scores from that week: they had the same top order in pretty much every innings. If I were a parent there, I'd not be happy about seeing the same people getting a go at batting every game. Certainly, if I were coaching there I'd insist on a batter retiring on 100 and anyone...

I mentioned him a couple of days ago but I do wonder whether Tawanda Muyeye gets a chance this season. He's got plenty going for him https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/news/tawanda_muyeye_wisden_schools_cricketer_of_the_year_eastbourne_college.html

Just looked him up. He got the 56* out of 76, very impressive

Last year we were playing Ansty in our last match. We were a bit worried as they had a lad who'd scored two centuries and a fifty in his previous three matches. We were delighted to find that he was away that day and bowled them out for 27. Just got the fixtures for this year and we're playing...

That 218 is pretty impressive, these are only 40 over slogs

I do wonder where they get the commentators from. They're now saying that Ollie Robinson is a better bowler than Jofra Archer - they're completely deluded

Boom!

Although it saddens me, I can understand that the club wants to invest in the short form of the game rather than four-day cricket. But I'd be more forgiving if we were successful there but our last win in any form of limited overs cricket was 11 years ago. We're not a rich county and I'm not...

He's 25, he's not a kid. Yes, I saw that Surrey had Overton, there's no end to their signings - that's always been the case

I think it's fair enough to make a statement and it's fair enough to drop Wells to do so, what I don't understand is playing Finch who, unlike Wells, has never looked like a first class cricketer. Why not play another youngster in his place? Is Jenner still around? Or should Muyeye be thrown in...

EDIT: Watch Finch score a 50 now!

That may be true but last year he got 527 runs at 24, Harry Finch got 161 runs at 12 I'm not sure why lack of form the previous year doesn't count against Finch (and it you look at the career records, Wells is on 35, Finch is on 26)

That's not what he said in an interview last season, he said that he'd spent the winter working specifically on red ball cricket. Of course, a year on, it may well be the case that he now just wants to play one-day stuff. And Moshe, I appreciate that Sussex are under a financial strain and I'm...

But, as has been pointed out, Bopara is around. Luke Wright was still keen to play red ball cricket but Dizzy said no and I've no idea what happened to Luke Wells. I'm all for playing kids if they're decent but I'm not convinced about many of this lot. But what does concern me is that we're a...

So did I but apparently that's not the case

Two are making their first class debuts: Carson and Crocombe Clark played last season, this is his second F/C Claydon is an old lag (37 I believe) but is making his Sussex debut all the others have played quite a few games for Sussex

Our batting last year was appalling, it's staggering that the club has done little to recruit any more batting talent. Admittedly, the club was unfortunate that Covid struck and prevented overseas players from coming back but it could have looked for another batter from England.

Batsmen 3 to 6 should be the batting strength of the team - ours managed 10 runs between them That's truly shocking, even by Sussex standards

Sussex 64-4. Yep, things are really back to normal now What's particularly galling is that Chris Nash has just reached 50 for Notts :angry:
