It's worse than that: we had a first innings lead in four out of our five games last season and lost them all.
There's a mental issue there that needs addressing
As I mentioned earlier, the plan is for Jofra to play in the Kent game. I can't see Robbo being rested again.
We were pretty close. We finished second in 81 (and would have won it if not for a dodgy LBW decision at Trent Bridge) and were around the top four for a few years.Yes, we had a...
Ooh, talk of Jofra coming back in a couple of weeks, possibly playing against Kent.
If we have Head and Salt back by then, we could have a fair old team for that match.
Another wicket for Carson. I've been in meetings all afternoon and I turned on to see him pick up Jennings.
Anyone know why Rawlins hasn't bowled? The ball seems to be doing a bit, I'm surprised he hasn't turned his arm over
Lancs piling on the runs - 116-1. What's the betting that Luke Wells gets a fifty?
Looking at the Kent game, I see Stevo has another Michelle .... on his 45th birthday!
Looked fair enough to me - the keeper is the clue, if he's not moving to leg then the ball probably isn't. I think all the LBWs this innings have been OK
Meaker at number 8. He's not got a bad average for a tailender but it's only 16
When you think we've had people like RMJ, Jordan and Wiese batting there in the past few years, it shows how short-staffed we are
Another poor shot - hitting across the line
Five batsmen have reached 30 and none have gone on to a 100 and only two reached 50 - that's poor concentration
I was saying that he was the real deal a few years back. I've argued on here when the runs weren't coming that he had real ability. I don't always pick them but I saw Haines get not very many in a couple of innings but thought that he had something.
Yes. He's been fast-tracked into the squad, he only got his contract this week. Looking forward to seeing Frankie make his debut in four or five years time :wink:
He also holds the record for bowling most deliveries in a season - more than 1600 overs (which is why I thought of him when Robbo...
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
