T20 v Somerset (Home) Wednesday 1st June

Salt is playing for the seconds just down the road at Eastbourne, so I don't think you need worry: if Wright suffers a reaction in the warm-up, Salt will be able to take his place - you are not restricted to only picking players in the squad.

Similarly if Brown suffered an injury, Cachopa would be drafted in.

I guess it was considered more beneficial for both of them to get some game time and hopefully score some runs than to hang around for briefings and warm-ups for a match which they aren't playing in...

This T20 game will have to be special to top the excitement of the CC game between Worcs and Glos which has just ended with Klinger and Jack Taylor both hitting centuries and winning the game by putting on 179 runs in 23 overs - and that's without legside wides and fielding restrictions.

Glos go second and only three counties are still undefeated in div two - Essex, Kent and Sussex.

on edit: Klinger the best value overseas signing currently playing county cricket? Discuss...

Idiots have gone in with six bowlers and four batters. What is it with us and balance? Tail like a gator.

No.  Four batters and Brown, an all rounder.  Ultimately we have six bowlers who you can expect to bowl four overs - it's too many and a waste.  It's all well and good having six or seven bowling options but not at the expense of the batting.  These people making decisions are the experts though, apparently, so I must be wrong.

Good start for us anyway. Of our four batters Wright and Nash are a lethal opening pair.  Never heard of their openers.

T20 spectators have different priorities, and possibly a low boredom threshhold. This Tweet a minute ago, just after the 15th over when Wright and Taylor were out and Sussex aiming to build a really big score:


@sussexccc who's actually going to. @walkaboutbn1 after? Wanna share a cab? #SharksTogether

Gayle bowled by a Mills yorker timed at 93.3 mph...

What we have missed part two, eh?

Sky commentary has just said he's going to play in the 50 over cup next week - so perhaps his remarks about taking it one step at a time - fours overs, then ten overs and then four day cricket in 2017 is on target...

Well that was very impressive, unbalanced or otherwise. Mills was dynamite, he blew Gayle away - makes you wonder why England were *****ing about with Topley at the T20 World Cup. All were very good but Wiese impressed me too. Our attack looks to have everything. Nash and Wright lethal and consistent up top, brilliant.
