We could run with a leaner fitter squad. In addition to those you mention, we will probably have to re-negotiate a contract for Mills if he only intends to play T20. As things stand, our priorities are, a top notch overseas seam bowling all rounder, a spinner and probably another seasoned batsman. There should be enough budget freed up to recruit those three, and perhaps promote someone from the seconds. As of now, I would imagine we'd be looking at Salt following his good start to the season. Hopefully, we can find a way of recruiting at least one of those before the summers out. Forget the overseas seam bowling all-rounder and get an overseas spinner. We won three county championship with Mushtaq! |

We won three county championship with Mushtaq! I could go with that, as long as we could find a good domestic all rounder. However, Faulkner and Tredwell would be perfect for me, if we could get those two, then we could perhaps manage without a new batter |

A new opening batsman and middle order batsman maybe needed unless a major turnaround of collective form occurs. |

So it seems that it is not just the 1st XI that is having batting problems ....
At Guidlford today Surrey 2nds made 296-6 from their 50 overs. Sussex have just been bowled out for 73 in fewer than half of the allotted overs.
Batting line-up (in the order the wickets fell) : Salt (6), H-Prentice (2), Finch (3), Piolet (6), Beer (0), Zaidi (1), Rawlins (0), Jackson (20) Mills (15), Liddle (9), Whittingham (1*)
Oh dear....

Two wins for the 2nd XI T20 team over Surrey at Horsham yesterday. Good luck to the players in the three-day game starting today. Thank you for this snippet of good news. Phil Salt (43 off 17 balls) has played several very positive innings at this level. |

In the 3-dayer, Sussex 2s are bowling first on a cloudy morning and Jimmy Anyon has an early wicket...
and now Shahzad...

I know Surrey where all out for 305 Zaidi taking 5-43 and that Sussex where 114-4 after 26 overs and Craig Cachopa got to 50 from 60 balls but anyone know the close of play score ?

Sussex fold meekly from 161-2 to 193 all out. So not too many there putting their names forward for Arundel

Some qualified good news is this Tweet from the excellent groundsman James Askew: 3day game over. pitch marked very good with comments from umps of perfect championship pitch :-)
If he reproduces this kind of pitch for the Notts game then both our batsmen and our spinners (whoever they may be) should find it rewarding. |

Come on HH, the batsmen have been poor but to say we only have two is harsh. Notts next is it - do they have a better spinner than whatever spinner we have?
