The Covid isolation is nearly over which means that the eight missing last week are now available. So, welcome back to the squad Robbo, Haines, Atkins and Hunt. James Coles and Harrison Ward also join the group. Van Zyl is out on his ear - Salisbury says that he hasn't scored enough runs for an overseas player (which makes you wonder whether he was asleep during Head's innings). Garton is still self-isolating, so is Thomason and CJ is still injured. It looks Mitchell Claydon may have played his last FC game.

Team is Ben Brown (c), Jamie Atkins, Jack Carson, Oli Carter, James Coles, Tom Haines, Travis Head, Sean Hunt, Danial Ibrahim, Stuart Meaker, Ali Orr, Ollie Robinson, Harrison Ward

Delayed start. It will now kick off at 12. No team announced yet but clearly Meaker, Hunt and Atkins won't all play

A bit of a shock in the team selection: no Ben Brown, I've no idea why.

Ollie is captaining what must be the youngest team ever put out by Sussex - only two players over 24 and with four teenagers.

EDIT: the average age of the team is 20 years and three months, that's just bonkers


An old face is playing for Kent - Harry Finch is at no 3 but, in another shock, there's no DBS in the Kent line-up

Brown is “missing out as a COVID precaution” via Sussex CCC Twitter.

Yeah, just seen the tweet. Although it also says that Carter is making his FC debut. Was the social media manager asleep all last week when Carter played against Glamorgan?

I've also seen the tweet as to why Kent have got such a strange team

For anybody having difficulties, here's a full spread of options to tear whatever hair anybody has left out to:

Obviously all showing the same stream, but people might find one or other of the websites work better for them for whatever reason. Seem to be working fine for me.

24/0 as I look at it now, I assume they're saving the inevitable catastrophic collapse for after lunch.

In some ways Alastair Orr reminds me of a certain other tall, left-handed opening bat with the same forename. Early days, obviously, but he is impressive.

Two wickets before lunch - it's the Sussex way

This is Head's big chance to make some runs: it's a second string attack

I assume he's saving all the runs up for when he gets recalled for Australia against England, and inevitably smashes us all over the ground just as we think we're getting on top.

I'm angry already :angry:

Yeah they make a few mistakes. Robinson made the England squad “for the first time” there times :eek:

Edit, just seen that Fynn Hudson-Prentice is resigning! Interesting. I’d have Burgess back too.

Yes, FHP has done well since he left. I don't know about Burgess though - Carter is a better option as reserve keeper. Sussex are clearly trying to develop their youth and it looks like some will make it

Yet again Travis shows he has the shots, and then gets out.
He averages 13.4.
It’s baffling.
