Back to proper cricket now that our Blast campaign is over. Derbyshire are bottom of the table with no wins from 7 games so a great chance for us to take a win from this one.
There’s a bit of rain around next week but doesn’t look as if it will impact us too much.
No Pujara so guessing Alsop will captain the side. Ward is playing in the 2’s game this week and scored 90 odd in the first innings, is he worth another look?

We are short of batting options so giving Ward a go is a good suggestion. I guess the alternative is Ibrahim who hasn’t seized his opportunities this year. Obviously he’s still very young and I’m confident he’ll play a big part in our future.

The squad for this one: Alsop(c), Carson, Carter (wk), Clark, Coles, Currie, Haines, Hudson-Prentice, Ibrahim, Karvelas, Lenham, McAndrew, Shipley.
So we won’t see Ward but we might see Lenham (unlikely though).

Pleased, but strange to see Lenham in the squad. Wouldn't he bet better playing in a 2s game. Maybe he'll play; and Currie and Ibrahim to miss out. Don't underestimate Derbyshire.

This is no pushover and, arguably, a pivotal game in our season. I do worry that our batting crumbles once and makes this a tougher game than it may appear.

Need Clark to go big now.
I guess they thought it would spin when they put 2 spinners in the squad so batting last might be difficult so its iportant we score big 1st innings runs.

Don’t understand why Derbys put us in. Thought Haines was en route to his first ton of the season but sadly not. Fingers crossed for Clark.

yeah slightly strange one with weathewr around tomorrow, our best chance of a win is to put a big score on the board and try bowl them out twice.

Strong start from Sussex especially when Derbyshire elected to bowl. Carter deserves at least a 50. BOOM! Now push on to 100.

Well batted Clark, Haines, Carter and Hudson-Prentice.

Carter did not push on, but FHP took over the mantle and scored a quick-fire 52* from 50 balls.
A good day at the office for Sussex ending on 376-7 and scoring at close to 4 runs an over. Let's hope we can pass 400 tomorrow morning and secure another batting point.

Really do think Derby are there for the taking in this game and 24 points will be marvellous.
