It is a good day for cricket and spin bowling in particular!!
I hope the weather is good, I left my house on my bike this morning in bright sunshine and 200m up the road it suddenly pissed it down and by the time I made it to the station I was drenched! A good game of cricket and victory for Sussex will definitely cheer me up.
Unfortunately it is Twenty 20.

Just to stir up some discussion, who would you select for this match, and in which order would they bat?
I'm unsure about Mike Yardy - I just don't think he's a natural 20/20 batsmen, although his spin bowling does give us an option. If he does play I'd drop him down the order to cover for any mishaps further up the order.
I'd bat in this order...
Luke Wright
Murray Goodwin
Chris Adams
Chris Nash
Rana Naved
Andy Hodd
Robin Martin-Jenkins
Mike Yardy
Mustaq Ahmed
James Kirtley
Saqlain Musthaq

Leave Yardy out, no point him playing in my opinion. We have to play two spinners and they should be Mushy and Saqi. Yardy is out of form with the bat and Hopkinson should play for his fielding and his batting which has improved in this competition this year.
Wright

Adams
Hopkinson

Rana (who can move up the order as necessary)

I'd have those XI but in this order... That side would be proper Twenty20 stuff if Matt prior were in it too.

Yes, he's there at 8, along with Yardy, the only debatable selection, the other 10 pick themselves for this.

I would play Yardy as he is the better batsman and can bowl if needed.
Am struggling to see the point of Hopkinson this season.

This season there isn't much, apart from fielding.
