Oh, and why did George Garton bowl the first over?
To add my penny's worth, there was an abundance of seamers last night and I have felt this season, which Bopara has alluded to, if a bowler is in a team, you need to use him.
At least George's batting was up to the mark and fortunately, there was enough bowling options to go around.
For me, the team balance was very good last night. The batting line- up was one of the strongest of the tournament alongside plenty of
bowling options. My only irritation is Ward opening. What's wrong
with Tom Haines, or is he only signed up for red-ball?
Rizwan was excellent again and very unfortunate to get out with another 50 in his grasp, followed by that scintillating partnership between Garton and Rawlins. The latter has found a rich vein of form in recent games. He requires a mental coach. Everything else to become a top consistent
all-rounder is there to see.
Surrey looked jaded last night and self-sabotaged, led by their Captain.
Perhaps, too much recent success to hang on to. Certainly, having key
players missing has a detrimental effect, although they have easily done enough to reach the QFs.
T20 is all about momentum and finding it at just the right time. It would be rather unfortunate, yet rather fun, if Sussex win their last 3 games.
If they had just won that game against Glos, who knows?  |

Not entirely convinced Garton is known for his swing bowling. Pace and back off a length bowling is his normal style I respectfully disagree. I saw a graphic last year where it showed Garton extracted more swing than any other English bowler in the T20 apart from David Willey. |

Swing or no swing, Garton should have played a couple of days for the 2s at Billericay. Ideal way to get match sharp.
Let's hope he keeps recovering well.
Garton and Hudson Prentice's injuries have really hampered us in all formats.
Any news of young Carson?

It's fine to disagree but if he is a swing bowler have a word in his ear and pitch it up a bit, bowling short or back of a length as your stock ball is conjucive for swing! |

Guess who's back? Back again. Guess who's back? Back again. Guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back guess who's back guess who's la-la-la-la-la-la. Will the real Gordy please stand up and tell us why Sussex deem it appropriate to post an interview with our dopy T20 captain about our chances in the Blast this year after we've tanked? Who was it Gordy? Elsie down on third? She needs to wake up the old dot.
Garton always bowls the first over, so what's the biggie? It went tits-up but what you wanna do against Jacks? The last time he was a pace bowler Gordy he was flat out on the treatment table 9 months a year.

Look everybody, S&F or whatever he's called now, has just noticed Haines isn't playing. You're about a month behind dumbo. Ward's in the best place for him if he's there at all. Jury's out for me. Jury's out for you no doubt and they'll be back in about six months.

We were very fluid those days weren't we Ash. Plays havoc with the mind. Some great names for nostalgia there for me, amongst other things. The late 90s was when I started following Sussex somewhat properly after being a kid-fan from afar in the latter days of Parker, the Wells', Dodemaide & the like. The only name I can't place there is NR Taylor - who's that? Good response!😀 Similar to me then, my first game was in 1989 and my first membership was in 1994. NR Taylor is Neil Taylor - signed from Kent during the revolution close-season of 1996/7, but prior to the revolution. Held our batting together in 1997, didn’t play as much in 1998 and was released at which point he retired. Err, I suspect you're considerably older than me. Certainly the age I tell people I am. I cannot remember a Taylor, other than Billy, for the life of me. Held our batting together in 97? I think I was maybe finding the ladies & beer then, usually the other way round, so 97 is a blur. I must have picked up properly from 98 when it got tasty. Although I do remember being excited at a couple of young quicks coming through in 97ish. Adams & Bevan were sensible and humongous signings. That's what you call recognising what is needed and taking action. Something missing these days it seems. And on that note, where the hell is our OS bowler for the remainder of the season? Who are our two? |

Going back to Garton - he had some ridiculous figures last season in this didn’t he, signs that he had really honed his skills superbly and was becoming a top performer in the format. Might it just be a lack of rhythm and practice this season? As AB says, back of a length was his strength.

That rhymed and you know it did. He's been out, that's all. We need him in the Champ, asap.

A forgotten thought about this game. It looked as though we were about to be penalised 6 runs for bowling our overs too slowly. Surely, Surrey should not have taken such a risk in the 19th over as they were four balls away from a bonus six runs. At the time of the last delivery, this meant that they needed 12 from 11. Am I right or wrong about this?

Am I right or wrong about this? I am not sure where we were in terms of bowling our overs on time Phil, but what I can confirm is the 6 run penalty no longer applies. A side that over run the allotted time to bowl their overs are now penalised by having one less fielder outside the ring for the twentieth over. So, for me I don't believe a different approach from Surrey would have resulted in a different outcome. |
