Yep it might be early April, but the annual disappointment that is Sussex CCC is here.

No toss and Leicester choose to bowl first - understandably.

Here is the team - which is useless unless you know who everyone is.....

Didn't have time to finish my first doughnut if the season before a wicket falls.

At least on the main scoreboard due to data issues we are blank for blank

4th ball, the Sussex way to start a season, and Wells marooned on 0.

Let the disappointment and mixed false hope begin. Sometimes you just wish you could have born been in Lancashire, I hear the bookies are paying out already on them being champions.

Three whole balls before the first wicket fell, so the batting is improving.

Is it possible to get relegated to Minor Counties cricket?

Hmmm. My annual "Is Hoppo out yet?" comment for the first game is too late today as we've lost two wickets in about two minutes.

We're doomed I tells ya, doomed. Have to support the London Swingers or whatever they're going to be called in The Hundred instead.

36/5 and I think we need to start looking for synonyms for poor.

Still we signed yet another fast bowler over the winter so maybe we can just pick a team full of them?

Very difficult start to the season.

Can't really blame the lads who have got ducks - that can happen to anyone.

All 5 wickets to fall are Sussex Academy products. Two imports at the crease now building a bit of a partnership.

Good luck for anyone buying tickets for Day 3 of this - or any other - Sussex County Championship match.

26 runs in 3 1/2 overs, one wicket, all boundaries bar 2 leg byes.
