After a heartening performance at The Oval, Sussex head west to face Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl for a second two-day friendly. Both the batting and bowling performed well at The Oval with Tom Haines scoring a century and Tom Clark and Ben Brown both scoring 50s. In the bowling department, George Garton, Henry Crocombe and Jack Carson each took three of the 12 Surrey wickets to fall. Sean Hunt also picked up two wickets against his old team mates.
There didn't seem a lot of optimism about the forthcoming County Championship season on the recent thread (https://unofficialsussexccc.freeforums.net/thread/1548/thoughts-2021-season), but another solid performance at The Ageas might encourage a few more to have higher expectations when the season kicks off on Thursday 8th April.
Although the game at The Oval was officially declared a draw, I'm going to call it a Sussex victory. Can Sussex "win" a second game against Hampshire? We are just going to have to wait and see, I guess.
