You arrived late to the party but scored the winner , a la Craig Johnston

Just an Ashes hero left

Good knowledge . The list is those who started test though

They’re not on the list . It’s test matches btw. Still a few more to get

Paul Downton was England’s 52nd test wicket keeper. Ollie Pope, the most recent, was the 68th. How many of those in between can you all collectively name? ONE PER POST

The clue is in the Sussex starting line ups. We are a one man team atm.

Impressive ..but Predicting Stevens will destroy Sussex and Finch will get out hardly makes you Mystic Meg

I mean.......I’m going home

Hey, we’ve got a few past-it golden oldies too !

Yeah. There’s giving younger players a chance.....there’s saying the old guard have had enough chances......and then there’s this. Btw What happened to AAron Thomason ?

Four down. This performance is inexcusable. In fact it’s not really the performance. The standard of The team sent out for this fixture - that’s the issue.

I was only a baby then! I’ve seen some Ropey teams over the past 35 years though, particularly in the mid 90s. This is a new low though. If they played a half decent UCCE Team, it would be close.

I appreciate there are particular circumstances , but pound for pound, This is the worst Sussex Team I have ever seen play a county first class match. I’m almost glad Ollie isn’t there to prop us up, as it means Gillespie will get a real clear idea about the merits of this XI

Without ollie, I fear for us this season in 4-day. It’s a poor quality team. It’s not even as if they’re underperforming. There’s no point getting frustrated by it as there is an obvious lack of talent and/or experience. All we need is two youngsters to put their hands up, and it will kind of...

I’m not so sure . At the moment he’s not the express fast bowler they were hoping for . I wonder if he might have an in and out England career , and we might see more of him

My thoughts and prayers are with those brave Sussex souls still watching / listening

It’s obviously a depleted team - no Robinson, van zyl, head, archer, Jordan, weise. Also, obviously, this bowling attack is university standard at best. We only beat Hants because of Robinson. You could point to Wells, Evans, Briggs etc but they haven’t Really cut it for several years. Im...

We are lucky to have him. I hope he delivers for England. Class act

Claydon......oookkkkaaayyyy. Crocombe over Garton .....nuts. Garton is a prime asset But inexperienced . Give him the new ball . Ease Crocombe in. I can see what Gillespie is doing in his selections but this is silly Good to hear from you HHI. Let’s hope some of these young players grab the...

Apart from meaker and Garton being overlooked , I’d go along with our opening bowler choices
