    I've said it before but Carson will be playing for England before the end of 2023.

    Fair assessment that (apart from Hunt, he did well in his first game and has been injured since) I think Clark and Rawlins have had plenty of chances, I fully expect to see Orr in the team for the next game. And, if Salt isn't fit, we may see Coles too. What I find inexplicable is the way that...

    Sussex have fought back well. They're going to lose but made a fight of it. Don't blame the kids - Van Zyl and Head should take a good hard look at themselves after this.

    Crawley boy innnit? We're lucky he doesn't support Palace.

    Head is well in line to be Sussex's worst overseas signing - he's scored 38 runs in five innings, that's shocking.

    Northants commentator has just said confident start by Haines - that's the kiss of death for him

    In every match this season, Haines' second innings score has been lower than his first - he needs to break that sequence. We really need a big score from one of our overseas players this innings

    I was one of those weird people who preferred facing fast bowling and hated spinners. I once batted for 12 overs against two seriously quick bowlers. In that time they'd sent two people to hospital (the keeper was too close and got one on the bonce and my fellow opener had his thumb broken) but...

    A bit of a mini-fightback by Sussex as Northants end on 91-4. Clearly, we're going to concede a first innings lead but I doubt that it will be the 200+ that I was expecting earlier. You never know with Sussex though, we could see a 300 10th wicket partnership. A good day for the kids but it's...

    I've been working today so just caught up with highlights but I think Rawlins was unlucky. I thought the Thomason decision was fair enough, he waved his bat at the ball and hoped it counted as a shot but I think the ball that got Delray was going down leg - look at the keeper

    Yes, he'd be an overseas player if he opted for Ireland. But, as I pointed out few weeks ago, you wouldn't expect a player called Carson to opt for Ireland over England. It is related to the EU situation however, Pre-Brexit, it was possible for a player to play for his county and for an EU...

    As I said on another thread, Carson is class - he'll play for England. I think Crocombe has got something too, although it's a bit early to tell.

    I'm totally confused. I didn't even bother checking the website because I thought tickets were for members only - did they offer them on general sale?

    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...
