96 overs and not a single bowling point! I defy anyone to put a positive spin on todays performance. Im going to say Shan Masoods knock was very special but also a very flat wicket. I do appreciate the frustrations but there has to be some leeway for the injuries we have. Until weve batted on it i refuse to see only negatives. |

My first post having recently discovered this forum and with more time to attend matches. I was hoping to have something positive to say first time up so I gave the Notts game a swerve but yesterday was disappointing even allowing for the pitch being a belter. I think Finn and Haines did well in yielding 67 runs from 32 overs which at least gives us some control but this was completely lost with the rest of the attack achieving Judy 1 maiden between them and going at four an over. Undoubtedly Masoods innings is exceptional even on a batters pitch. We have a lot of work to do when we finally get to back

When was the last time we failed to get a single bowling point? Colwyn Bay?

Time for our two O/S to help steer the ship towards a draw.
edit:
Haines has two let-offs in three balls. Lucky skipper.

I see Phil Salt has wasted no time making his mark as a red ball player with 97 on debut. And he’s keeping wicket! That makes 3 ex-Sussex players now keeping wicket for other, bigger counties.

I do appreciate the frustrations but there has to be some leeway for the injuries we have. Until weve batted on it i refuse to see only negatives. We could make 800 Gordy but it doesn't mean we should play three bowlers. Do you think three bowlers is acceptable? Do you think any of Haines, Coles or Clarke are bowlers? I don't think I've ever seen a side field just three proper bowlers before, or a side using their part-timers to make up over half the overs on the first day. Possibly any day. Low and behold, they were wicketless overs. With three bowlers you either risk injuring your main bowlers or bowling a load of dross and getting battered. Low and behold... They'll be the reasons nobody's ever done it before. Beyond stupid. I can't believe nobody on here has mentioned it. You know very little about cricket if this doesn't trouble you. Course Salt's doing well, he's a top player and he's finally playing where he should have been playing for the last five years. Although not with the gloves from what I've seen. Haines got a stinker, I dunno how an umpire can give that, clearly pitching outside. I'd sack him. Having said that, it was coming cos for some bizarre reason Haines was virtually playing a shot-a-ball. He needs to calm the f**k down, what's his rush. You're sposed to be an opener son, chill out. |

Hard to disagree. I personally think that we lack leadership from the Head Coach. |

Mate you can twist words to sort you own narrative. The point being is people were making judgements then but the rewards in the long term were evident. I assume if we do win the CC in 3 years time you wont celebrate? |

I think Gordy has conceded. As did Sussex before a ball was even bowled. At Derbyshire. You cannot win games with three bowlers, no team has ever even done it let alone won with it. Not even Australia with Warne and McGrath, who could bowl all day, ever did that. We said to the oppo when the team sheet was handed in, we can't beat you. If we're extremely lucky or you're extremely poor, we might draw.
Unfathomable. Nobody in professional cricket has ever picked three bowlers before. If they have, find me it. Sussex are being led into destruction by morons. These people cannot lead us into any plan, however long.
Eight down now. Pitch is good, bowling is average, but the negative mindset and scoreboard pressure is through the roof.
I wanna reiterate for you people to understand - Haines, Coles & Clarke bowled 49 of 96 overs on the first day. These are batsmen. This is unprecedented. Two bowlers, of whatever quality, are in the squad carrying drinks.
These people must go.

Meanwhile Salt and Brown score about 150 odd runs between them on debut - I doubt they'll get wickets though.

When you can’t compete against Derbyshire (home & away) - there is no process!! Those in charge coaches, director of cricket & chief executive have to be held accountable.
Enough is enough!! I’m aware it’s only the 6th innings of the season & might seem an over reaction…….it’s not, it’s been coming all winter.
Yet I’ll still be at Derby tmrw…….come on lads!!
