[Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2025 Division One Edition

[DJ NOBO]

Wonder if the non selection of Haines mystery will go on (When he’s back from lions duty).
He wants to play T20.
Very strange.
It was the same with Robinson until last season.

 

[DJ NOBO]

T20 is an absolute lottery. Eleven different winners since 2010. So the answer is as good as anyone and no better than anyone. Except for Derbyshire, perhaps.

I agree with this, with the exception of Surrey. as ever, on paper, they have the strongest team.

Such a shame they haven't won it since the first one in 2003

It’s actually something of an achievement given the talent and resources that go into their team.
Hopefully they will make a horlicks of it again.

 

[fisons]

The T20 warm up game against Berkshire has been rearranged to tomorrow morning starting at 11am and entry is free.

See you there!

As long as the South Group maintains its boot on the throat of the North Group where it belongs then I don’t mind


(Not you Surrey)


(Or you, Hampshire)

I've never had an issue with Hampshire. I know the media has done its best to create a rivalry, but there really isn't one. I'd love to see a Championship match at Arundel. They're like a friendly neighbour.

I was born in Surrey, taken to Hampshire after 10 days, and 5 weeks later farmed out to Sussex. I have an affinity with N E Hampshire. Surrey, I have an unfathomable loathing for. Too big, too cosmetic, too yuppies and coke, too, just, no.

I can't stand Hampshire.

Actually, I say that, there's a lot to like about some of their players and captains up to about 1970. But fortunately I never saw any of that so I don't feel any need to mitigate my dislike of them.

I don’t agree with you; Hants v Sussex is a very long running rivalry. My Dad (aged 93) dislikes them because of how they used to ‘Lord it over us’ when he was young and my Grandad felt the same. I also recall Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge (arguably the best opening pair in county cricket history) pulverising our bowling in my formative years.

In recent times, it’s Hampshire that has hosted Test matches and a T20 franchise and has sold itself to an overseas company. So I enjoy us beating them more than anyone else, even Surrey. Having said all that, it’s cricket rather than football so we can appreciate good play by the opposition at all times!

I went to the one in 2007.

Fantastic few days out. First innings Warne got 5 for 91, Mushy got 7 for 72.

I suppose our strongest 11 would be;

Ward
Hughes
Clark (maybe not on current form, although maybe T20 is a chance to refresh)
Coles
Alsop
Simpson
Lamb/FHP
McAndrew
Carson
Robinson
Mills

With Currie playing the games Robbo/Mills miss due to injury/balancing workload.

I would be tempted to put McAndrew up the order this year, he can tonk it.

I think rivalries are more down to the mind of the individual. Your Dad is a cricket fan for over 80 years doubtless so will have formed a longer term view than me.

My rivalries are just as organic. But less rivalries and more just a negative feeling. In cricket I just simply don't like Surrey. No-one else really bothers me. Football I don't like Chelsea (Palace is just pantomime fun to me) and in rugby its Saracens. All this runs at a natural emotional level so there seems to be something about ruling the game through, often haphazard, and ill gotten finances.

Hampshire is just a local derby. I feel no animosity although perhaps your dad has more reason with history.

Couple of really decent line ups there is that. I'm not surprised you had an enjoyable time.

I suspect it will be a lot more than that. I can't find info to say how many though. It's normally a couple per set.
