(pic: Phil Barnes)Happy Birthday Ted Lord. When it comes to interviews I have done two with Dexter. They were undoubtedly my two favourites and I have carried out many in my time across a rich and long myriad tapestry of subjects.

I reckon Tymal Mills' pregnant wife, India, is becoming more of a social media star than himself. Millsy doesn't stop, does he?

Delighted to see the Sussex lads are keeping fit from disco dancing to kicking footballs. Oh, to be a professional cricketer during lockdown when all along they are being paid their monthly wage, unlike the club staff who have been furloughed. That's what happens when your CEO is a former professional sportsman. Perhaps, there's a bit of favouritism involved?

Perhaps, there's a bit of favouritism involved? IIRC, at the recent Members' Forum, Rob Andrew said that the playing staff had been furloughed. I confess to not having checked back to the Forum video.

Fb,
That is interesting. I checked on Google and nothing came up. I also checked the Cricketer Magazine which is an excellent source for county cricket, but found nothing. You may well be right though.
Furloughing the staff was big news, on the other hand. Also, I checked the Sussex 'Latest News' and didn't come across anything apart from April 9th when in a weekly briefing Rob Andrew says, "We have now furloughed the majority of staff, both playing and non-playing..."
Perhaps, Andrew mentioned the possibility at this Members Forum? Perhaps, you are correct? I am surprised though that this news hasn't reached the media given reports of other county teams furloughing their players has been covered.

If you haven't watched this video, it's well worth while. It updates the Sussex position on all relevant fronts.

Fb, Well done for tracking down that video. You would make a good researcher. Surprised this news wasn't announced within the general media. I take back what I said about professional sports favouritism from Rob Andrew. He is being very sensible concerning the club's money. Although, the present furlough only lasts until the end of May. As many supporters as possible should view this video. Presumably, it hasn't surfaced elsewhere because it is specifically aimed at Club Members. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtGx4moofh8&feature=youtu.be

Unfortunately, I am not a Member, so I am not privy to this private email and video. At least, general supporters can now view it which is important.

This is somewhat of a surprise. Rob Key is only 41-years-old, yet a stroke - is this expected? Since joining Sky Sports his media career has taken off, thanks partly to his sense of fun as well as a great knowledge of the cricket game. Admittedly, his health was never that great, whether it is munching on pork pies or regularly sneaking off between commentary for a "ciggie" behind the media centres. A fine fellow, so here's to a full recovery. www.thecricketer.com/Topics/news/rob_key_recovering_mini_stroke_cricket_kent_england_sky_sports.html
