Obvious statement that we will miss him when he is on England duty?

How many overs left in the day?
A (big) if Sussex can get the next three wickets quick and cheaply.

Any team would miss him.
14 for Ollie Robinson 
Lead is 119 with just 2 wickets in hand, 26.5 overs remaining

Slipping away. 20 overs left (minus 2 for change of innings). Worcester still 8 down. Robinson just collapsed mid-delivery and bus being treated for cramp

We lost a day to rain. Chasing a win. Understandable that we thrown everything at it. Love this winning mentality
Any team would indeed miss him but the difference in quality between Robinson and the other Sussex bowlers in this game is embarrassing. Hunt, Crocombe, Atkins , Garton , and the spinners (jury out on Carson) are not good enough to take regular wickets at this level.
The sooner Karvelas and McAndrew return the better, and possibly Brad Currie. Having Steve Smith is fun but it hasn’t strengthened our team as we need McAndrew.

Yes shame, we might have won that with McAndrew. Oh well.

The above with bells, whistles and the fanciest of packaging.
Pujara almost has 500 runs for the season.

Used to be 1000 runs by the end of May was the metric, but then again we didn't have the County Championship stuffed into the stupid setup we now have.
I would risk a few bob on Pujara getting his 1000 before the end of the month, what a great signing for the club.
If he manages it, he'd only be the third since the second world war (and the first since Hick in 1988).

In my opinion Pujara is rather good.

I see Glenn Turner is on there for 1973. Has to be one of the best overseas players ever. My first full season watching county cricket was 1982, he averaged 90 that year- including a treble ton against Warwickshire. 100 odd centuries in county cricket alone.If he manages it, he'd only be the third since the second world war (and the first since Hick in 1988).
Because there are fewer first class matches now compared to the 60s and earlier, it's only achievable because so many games are wedged into April and May.1,000 first-class runs before the end of May - Wikipedia

More specifically, 300 in less than a day against an attack including Bob Willis and Gladstone Small (and Jim Cumbes, who I assume plenty of people on here will remember playing for Villa among other teams).

Turner was a huge loss to the Kiwis. He didn't play anywhere near as many Tests as he should have done. He played the World Cup in '83 but not the Test series. I don't know why. They could have done with him.More specifically, 300 in less than a day against an attack including Bob Willis and Gladstone Small (and Jim Cumbes, who I assume plenty of people on here will remember playing for Villa among other teams).
The description I've read of this innings suggests it largely involved backing away and hacking the bowlers through point, so probably not all that reflective of his normal approach. I'd also guess that Willis wasn't exactly steaming in like Headingley 81.WORCS vs WARKS Cricket Scorecard at Worcester, May 29 - June 01, 1982

This article suggests he'd effectively retired from tests in March 1983, at least in part due to disagreements with the NZ board.
