Incredibly, we have three bowlers in a fourteen man squad who have achieved nothing all year. We have Hatchett without a single first class wicket this year (0-93) in his only match. Liddle with 6 wickets and Hobden, who has conceded 1088 runs this year, most of them no balls. Balance - you're having a laugh!

Yes, that damn weather isn't going to help us this week. Our first objective is to acquire as many bonus points as we possibly can, and to try and make sure the game runs it's full course. It's highly unlikely that we can bowl Yorkshire out twice, whether we play five bowlers or not. If they are of a mind, they will score big whether we have Hatchett as a fourth seamer, or not. Better to play the extra batter and to try and accrue more bonus points, I feel. A draw looks our only hope, and we won't get that without batting for at least 7 of the 12 sessions. Yardy, with two centuries in his last three innings, including one against Yorkshire, has to play. Is that Joyce's team talk? Playing with that mindset is what got us in this mess in the first place. Be brave, go for the jugular. The complacent, competition-less Yorkies are there for the taking. That'll be the best way to get bonus points and Hants are gonna get pummeled by the inform Notts anyway. Get up stand up. |

Bob Marley may well be the answer. The current regime is not. |

It is looking dry in Leeds. There is to be a minutes applause before the match for Brian Close. The championship trophy will be paraded at the end of the game. Will Sussex be celebrating also?

It is Ed Joyce's birthday today so he may well be having a piece of cake - but will he eat it also? Will you be at the match leedsgull? Always good to hear firsthand experiences. |

Sussex have a very good record at Headingley in the championship. We have played there 25 times, winning 5, drawing 14 and losing only 6. Of the last 6 games, stretching back to 1999 we have won 4 and drawn 2. The last defeat there was in 1986.
Those figures are in striking contrast to the overall record of Sussex v Yorkshire matches, both home and away. In 176 games we have won just 30 times, losing 68 and drawing 76 with 2 abandoned. Must be something in the Leeds air that suits the Sussex temperament - hope we find it again this week.

Almost a balanced team! Finally back to the opening partnership that (usually) worked and Wells dropped for a second time. Liddle v Hobden, given the latter's no ball problems this year, is a bit like deciding on the order of precedence between a flea and a louse but still...
EC Joyce*, CD Nash, MW Machan, LJ Wright, MH Yardy, BC Brown†, Ashar Zaidi, CJ Jordan, SJ Magoffin, CJ Liddle, LJ Hatchett

What a forlorn picture above. Sad, sad, sad....
A good start for Sussex. They put Yorkshire into bat and now have them at 55-2. Meanwhile, Hampshire have Notts at
71-3 after they were 39-3 earlier.
An interesting decision by Robinson to bring in Liddle for Wells. Pleased Zaidi remains.

Gary Ballance piling on the runs against Sussex as usual. Getting worried!

Why would we go into a match this important with only ten men?

Magoffin on fire, Bairstow goes for 1. Great bowling performance after lunch from the Sussex seamers - now ahead on Hampshire.
113-4.
