persistent drizzle looks like it could threaten a prompt start at the Eaton Road headquarters of relegation favourites Sussex today...

Doesnt look like we'll get much play today, definatley not a day to be batting.
I was going to head down there this afternoon, but maybe not looking outside te window

Will be good to see Alec Stewart turn out in Sussex colours on the balcony

Something to idle away a couple of minutes:

Protection is a perennial issue for batsmen. The harder you fall and the more tears you shed, the more your opponents (and your own team) snigger and laugh.

I recently spotted an article in the brilliant science magazine Popular Science about this and have now found the article (and video!!) online.

A former baseball player has invented a new "cup" and is so confident that he is prepared to take a ball at 90mph to prove it.

Apparently the delayed start gave Key the opportunity to tuck in to the cakes and pastries early. With no franch fancies left for the lunch or tea intervals, he decided to sit this one out.
