Meaker hasn't played any cricket for two years - I think he can be cut a bit of slack. Garton was called up as an emergency replacement to the full England team just a few years ago - he's regressed badly as they've concentrated on his batting. People shouldn't use the lack of overseas...

And also,as I pointed out earlier, Hampshire were missing six of their first choice players We're a one man bowling team but Salt scored two 50s against Hants

And bingo! As inevitable as another Katie Price marriage

... which is what I've been saying.

Yeah, I don't care how many times he failed last season, he's done it before. We were talking last week about the Junior Cricket Festival and how it doesn't help young players getting battered in a one-sided match. I know we're talking about players a few years older but I don't see how getting...

There were circumstances around the mid-90s, a lot of experienced players left/were kicked out. Hence the Night of the Long Knives in 1997 led initially by Lester and the appointment of Moores and Grizz. Amazing parallels with the events at the Albion. Back at Canterbury, Sussex have really...

You weren't there for the Hampshire match in 75? Hants scored 401-5 (and that's after getting Greenidge out in the second over). Sussex were then bowled out for 153 and 115. We had two test players - Snow and Greig - in our team so imagine how bad we were. There was also one game around then...

Let's look at the side: Claydon - a good solid pro Crocombe an 18 year old playing his second FC match Haines - a batsman who bowls a bit Garton - a 23 year old playing his 15th FC match Meaker - a bloke who's been away from cricket for two years Rawlins - a batsman who bowls a bit Carson - a 19...

Just realised that Stevens didn't get his customary runs against us - that's bound to be a Michelle then

And Salt is out in the first over! That's what I mean about the batting letting us down. Podmore's a good, solid county bowler - nothing spectacular, probably on par with Claydon but we're making him look like Malcolm Marshall

And now the second highest second wicket partnership in county cricket. I remember the highest - Jameson and Kanhai putting on 465. These two could have beaten that, I reckon

These two need just seven more runs to record the highest 2nd wicket partnership for Kent (490 is the magic number)

Our bowlers? Four kids and two county cast-offs (one of whose last F/C match was more than two years ago) So, only Claydon and Garton really count - and they're bowling on a road Sussex have four really decent F/C bowlers (two are on test duty, one is injured and one is stuck in SA). This has...

He's an England U19 international, the same as Tom Clark: one got well set and got out, one carried on That's our performance in a nushell: nearly every batsman got into double figures, not one pushed on for a century (and only two got 50s) on what is probably the best batting wicket they'll...

I don't blame the bowlers - this is down to the batters. They scored 100 to 150 runs too few

Funnily enough, I'm optimistic we may see more of him in the future. He's clearly finding test cricket tough and may be sent back to the county to build up his confidence (obviously not this season, but it wouldn't shock me to see him play a few times next year). The real worry is if Robbo...

That's true but every other county is also missing its overseas players, its internationals and its Kolpaks. I believe that Hampshire had six players missing last match, for example.I think Surrey has 12 players out - which is why they borrowed Evans. So, Sussex aren't unique in this. It also...

Yet again, Sussex are struggling after a poor batting performance. The trouble is that this time we haven't got Robinson to get us out of the mess. And I'm not quite sure why Sussex won't consider Evans for 4-day cricket but are happy to lend him to Surrey (where he's currently 39 not out)

Couple of seasons? Mushy retired 12 years ago :ohmy:
