Had my bicycle nicked overnight.

Thought oh well, put my feet up and watch the cricket, that'll cheer me up a bit.

Jesus wept, what a shit day I'm having.

We got the worst of the conditions early on, it happens a lot in club cricket......then the sun comes out and it’s a different game.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Currently Sussex 57/7, Hampshire 62/6

We might not even record the worst total of the day!

Hants now 75/8 whilst we ROMP to 84/8.

Essex looked interested in the honour for a bit too, but now 97/6.

Not many batting points around today

84 for 8 with Ollie still there, for those who know more than me is the wicket getting easier ?

Cricket at this time of year is regularly a complete farce...win the toss, bowl first and you stand a pretty good chance of winning the game - unless you happen to be Sussex of course.

Good luck to Joseph Sarro, the 19yo Eastbourne boy, sitting there with his pads on, awaiting his 1st class debut

With Sussex at 87-8, expectations are not high.

I dont mean for this to sound like a "look at me" post - or detract from the match thread - but just heard my son has been taken out of school today and taken to the County Ground to play for the 2nd XI as they have had a few injury problems.
He may not get to do much - even just carrying the water bottles would be fine tbh - but at 14 years old he is living the dream alongside Jofra....We are absolutely stunned tbh!

Maybe some of the 2nds need to be moved up after seeing the 1sts score so far!

That's incredible - you must be bursting with pride

Still in shock tbh - but 100% filled with pride too. Just a shame we arent allowed out there to watch

Can JPS hold out for long enough for Robbo to get to 50 ??

Beaten on the outside edge, and then the inside edge.

Robbo has his chance.

He's taken a SINGLE!
