Clark was unlucky aswell with one that kept low, thought he batted well. Hopefully, we can get around a 100 first innings lead and unlike the trend of this season and last capitalise on it and not throw it away. The big difference in this match is we have both Robinson and Archer and conditions that should suit them. All out by Tea given the poor weather forecast for Sunday may be no bad thing if we want to secure a win. |

Sussex need a body language coach. Ok, Clarke got a rotter. But his slow walk off was embarrassing.Come on young man, you batted well. Head up and back yourself for the rest of the match. Salisbury, Kirtley need to sort this out. ditto with Rawlins. |

Look at the way Garton walked off.
Speaks volumes.
Obviously disappointed with himself, but able to keep head up.
Yes, it is tough being a batter and expected to get runs.
I can only assume Rawlins and Clarke think they are at risk of being dropped.
In Rawlins' case, this should have happened prior to this game.

Joe, were you a bowler? Agree about getting bat on it; helps the umpire. What annoys me is umpires seeming to guess; they should be absolutely sure on line and length for LBWs. Too many LBWs in County Cricket for my liking. |

A Nelson 111 lead. 4 Kent wickets after tea and it's
been a great day in difficult batting conditions.
Sussex 256 all out.

You’ve called my bluff, yes I was indeed a bowler and perhaps a little biased in that regard and agree the level of umpiring at county level can often be questionable. The best batsmen can get out lbw but Delray is making a habit of it and sometimes you make your own luck. |

Why hasn't Archer bowled? Garton allowed to. Letting Kent off the hook here.

Goodness me, this is frustrating. Why hasn't Archer returned? Garton is
not that much slower. Are we to presume his elbow is playing up?
As for Jack, he gets whacked for 13 off his first over by Crawley and
is immediately taken off. That won't do his confidence much good.
This post-tea session is very much Kent's whose batsmen have fought
hard. Brown seems to be at a loss over what to do.
Kent 7-2

Why are Archer and Robinson not bowling?

That is the first question I would ask Brown. I hope Adrian Harms does
after the day's play. This is painful to watch.

This has an oh too familiar feel about it. How many more times this season and last do we see Sussex hold a comfortable first innings lead, only to fail to push home the advantage and hand the initiative back to the opponents second time around?
Assuming the weather doesn't intervene, what odds Crawley gets a big hundred, Kent score 350 plus and we get rolled over for 180.
Really disappointing last session, our bowling attack (Robinson and Archer aside) did not cause any real threat or problems for the Kent batters. Given Garton was pinging them around the batsmen's ears, light couldn't have been an issue, so as many other posters have asked, why was Archer not given a second spell? Even if light was an issue, surely better to call the Umpire's bluff than hand Kent easy runs.
I often feel some of the comments on here against Brown's captaincy are somewhat harsh, but his decision making in the last session really warrant some serious questioning. Rawlins, Clark and Haines aren't exactly going to clean up the Kent batting and surely Carson (our main spinner) deserved a few more overs.
44 overs in and Archer has bowled just five. Another match and opportunity slips away.
Edit: Nearly had to eat my words following that big appeal for caught behind off Haines at the end. Even so, 138 for 3 would have still been disappointing.
