We're well on the way to being soundly trounced by Somerset, what on earth makes you think we'll do anything other than get relegated??!!

BBC Sussex's Adrian Harms:

"As convincing a victory as the score suggests.

"The baffling decision by Somerset to bat first having won the toss backfired spectacularly, although take nothing away from Steve Magoffin, whose 12-31 in the match was a masterclass of seam bowling.

"With Luke Wright raring to go having returned from the IPL, and Amjad Khan almost fit to return, Sussex look to have strength in depth, and must now be considered serious title contenders.

"By contrast, Somerset looked short of fighting spirit and confidence, and those qualities will need to addressed quickly if they are to avoid a relegation battle."



ooops...

According to SSN Steve MaGoffin scored the 2 runs needed to pick up our 3rd batting point.

What that means is we only managed 3 bowling points????? What the **** do you have to do to get the full quota??

We can't relay on another Horsham. As is well known now the players went into the wrong dressing rooms so that the Sussex players took the field as Somerset and vice-versa. This error wasn't noticed by either the umpires or the scorers (or the crowd or media) but of course is the only logical explanation for the result.

Can't see that happening too many times this season, although we've probably fluked enough points now to avoid finishing rock bottom.
