Northants up to 4th in the table.
Just below Sussex...
Just below Sussex...
But they're not that young.
Ok, Salt is 22 and Rawlins is, I think, 21 but Wells, Chopra, Evans, Brown and Wiese are all in their 30s (as is van Zyl). Haines is the only other genuinely young batter.
I think the problem is there are too many bits and pieces cricketers: Wells probably keeps his place because he bowls, Thomason and Beer are described as all-rounders - but they're not really. They're trying to turn Garton into a batsman now ... and he's someone with genuine pace.
I think Chopra is a step in the right direction though; we need another one

Right lads let’s score one less than our first innings, then we can all feck off down the beach for the afternoon.

Is it also our record lowest run total from two completed innings in a first class match?

Apparently not - quite.

Oh dear I got it wrong as I thought Northants would declare and then bowl us out but they didnt and still bowled us out today.

Embarrassing from Sussex but superb from Northamptonshire against a poor Sussex side and we had them 99 for 6 on the first day and they still managed to get to 273

No. 143 in two complete innings at Worthing against Warwickshire in 1964. I'm not saying that's our lowest ever either, it's just an example of a lower total than today. Even Ian Thompson getting 10-49 in their first innings couldn't save us; mind you, nothing could help if you get bowled out for 23 chasing 206 in the second innings!

I just read that's the first time Northants have won at Hove in the County Championship since 1983.
Very briefly in 1997 as an 18 year old I worked at a hotel just off Hove seafront where Northamptonshire CCC stayed (They all had big glasses of milk with their breakfast I remember) when playing Sussex the year we finished bottom of the County Championship - not even THAT Sussex side of 1997 lost at home to Northants.

Appalling to lose so weakly for the second week running against the bottom team.
Time for Rob Andrew to step up and earn his wages.

No it's not. Surrey in the 1930s.

It was 388 runs to Surrey in 1939 apparently - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Surrey_first-class_cricket_records#Results_by_opponent
