These games are coming thick and fast.
An encouraging start to our campaign and if things had gone our way with delays for rain and bad light, one we could have easily won.
Pujara should be back for this one and I believe Ollie Robinson is rested so Carter to miss out and Karvelas to come in.

It's nice to see a buzz around the supporters albeit a slightly sceptical one.
Robbo misses this one i think but I still believe we need 3 front line seamers. I think it will be
Haines
Clark
Alsop
Pujara
Coles
Simpson
FHP
Lamb
Carson
Karvelas
Seales
It remains very strong with some good players missing out.
We are a Kiran Carlson away from being certs for promotion.

Could there be an argument for Carter to play ahead of Alsop?

We are going to be a difficult side to beat again this year, I wonder if we average 15 points a game that'll be enough for promotion? It'll be 43 more than last year but obviously more per drawn game this year. |

Is Robinson injured?
Ridiculous that he won't play.
He needs overs.
Still not sure that Carson's bowling is good enough.

Could there be an argument for Carter to play ahead of Alsop? Absolutely. It’s a long old time since Alsop had a strong, consistent spell. You could say Carter is not a number three. But the same could be said of Alsop. Carter is very unlucky to be usually cast in the role of odd man out. |

The ECB managing workload is the biggest pile of crap in cricket. Ollie needs overs and the tests dont start until July.
We couldnt use Gus Atkinson against Lancs due to the managing workload scheme. He hasnt played since November and was carrying drinks all winter
in India!!
Whoever makes these decisions needs putting in a stock on the outfield at Hove and members allowed to throw rotten fruit at them.

Robinson is thrown into the middle of a test series in India, after playing no cricket for several months and gets severely criticised because he’s below par. He’s told to go back to his county and prove himself. He plays the first game and begins to find his groove again but is then prevented from playing the next one. Total madness. If the Australians had infiltrated the ECB to undermine the England team they couldn’t do better than this. |

Will they drop a man thats just scored 61 at 9 and took 2 for 50? I personally would up there, but from Farbys interview he likes the balance of this side. |

Is Robinson injured? Ridiculous that he won't play. He needs overs. Still not sure that Carson's bowling is good enough. I agree, of course, but England are not interested in Sussex in the slightest. They will devise a programme (which may or may not be well conceived) that has Robinson at his peak when Test matches start. They'll also put a cap on the overs he can bowl if they feel like it. Having a player who is on the periphery of the England team, particularly a bowler, makes team planning difficult and reduces the value of an ace like Robinson. |

But the same could be said of Alsop. Carter is very unlucky to be usually cast in the role of odd man out. Im not convinced he is cast in that role. He's part of a squad thats competing for places. Simpsons Wicketkeeping against Northants showed exactly what weve been missing behind the stumps for a decade or more. If he scores runs he'll make himself undroppable, this should be embraced after the last few years. |

Would this be the same finely calibrated programme that plopped Robinson into the middle of a test series in India having played no cricket for several months? There seems to be an assumption, for quicker bowlers at least, that the less cricket you play, the fitter you’ll be. I think that’s wrong. Bowlers need to find and maintain their rhythm. |

This doesnt apply too all bowlers i dont think but it certainly applies to Ollie. |
