Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
And so, Surrey come to town to face the Sussex Sharks. The meteorologists will know better than me whether the game is likely to take place, but the app on my phone is giving all the wrong signals. After Friday's defeat against Gloucestershire, it would be good to get a positive result against one of the decent sides. There's not much to add to the review for the game at Surrey a week or so ago that lasted all of five overs. It was an exciting five overs in which Roy was caught brillantly by Archie Lenham for a duck, in four of the five overs Surrey scored 25 for 2 and in the other over they scored 28 for 0. How the game would have gone from there we will never know. Let's hope the same isn't the case for this one.
In my view, Sussex need a couple of wins to re-establish themselves in the top pack. It's tempting to think that there are some easier games coming up, but T20 games can pivot on one batsman scoring quickly for a few overs and defeats to teams lower in the table are quite common. Another game with shared points?
