Thought I'd put it up as seems everyone's given up!

Thanks Otto and welcome to the forum. Hunt has replaced Currie. Still no Orr and no Kervelas. Feels a bit ominous but Somerset are significantly weakened in this competition so I’m not without hope.

Is Lenham in danger of being released (given his form and the emergence of Bertie Foreman)?

Is Lenham in danger of being released (given his form and the emergence of Bertie Foreman)? Lenham has only just turned 19. Would be strange to give up on him at that young age but then we’re more than capable of making strange decisions. |

Congratulations Pujara, well done Sussex. An excellent and much needed win.

That was a confidence-boosting tonic. Too late to help us progress in the competition of course but I hope we can now go on a roll.

Well batted. Our bowling was also better with the exception of Lenham.

Well batted. Our bowling was also better with the exception of Lanham. We often seem to win when most of us have given up! Started happening in the T20 as well. Too late for this comp (unless we win the next 4 then we may have to get our calculators out?!) but a much improved display anyway. Our new ball bowling was really impressive, especially Hunt who I have to admit surprised me as I hadn’t really thought he was up to much before today. Pujara is pure class, unbelievable consistency! I would still bat him at 3 and just let him bat for 40-45 overs if he can each game! It’s also interesting how this board is so much quieter when we win! |

It’s a shame we had a nightmare end to the Northamptonshire game, having had the game under reasonable control for 90 overs. Qualifying now is almost certainly a bridge too far. I didn’t see this game but on paper it looks a good, solid win.

Even if we win all four remaining games our run rate is the problem. Can we do a Kent?

Sad to see Haines out for a low score again after his recent 94.
