Another opportunity to do whatever it is Sussex are supposed to do this year.
"The Sharks require victory for any chance of progression in the competition. The Sussex Cricket Foundation will be providing plenty of activities, including the 1st Central Roadshow inflatables, plenty of freebees and big screen activity to keep the family entertained throughout the night."
So there you are, 1st Central inflatables and freebees and big screen activity. And a botched run chase too, probably.

No excuses. An improved performance last night. Let's make it a win boys and go out fighting with at least some pride intact!

It was the team's second highest score in the RLC competition this season; both Nash and Brown finally got some runs and created a
decent partnership; and Sussex put up a fight, at least, compared to their recent performances. That to me is an improvement however
small.

That to me is an improvement however small. I guess that losing, but not as badly as before, constitutes an improvement. Things are looking up. Are you intending to sound optimistic?  |

Pessimism can get rather boring. How about this for a story. There are six guys in the Media Centre representing the Bangladeshi media corp who are based in London. They came down tonight as Mr Fizz is signed to Sussex and therefore they are now official Sussex supporters. They have brought cameras, a film crew the works. The idea being they wish to capture the atmosphere of a Hove T20 match to show the growing hordes of Fizz fans back home, and in the hope he appears again in a Sharks shirt. I could have cried for them. I note our Forum Twitter has even gained new followers from Bangladesh due to Fizz. What could have been! |

Keep your foot behind the line and bowl at the stumps Mills! It's not bloody rocket science!

What an extraordinary first over from Mills. Never seen anything like it. 7 extras, 9 balls, and a wicket on the 9th ball. The word inconsistent does Mills credit. His slower ball is quite brilliant though.
8 extras off 1.2 overs. 2 more off Mills first 3 balls of his second over and then he gets another wicket. Is Mills a cracked genius?
12 extras after 3.5 overs - score 30-3 - should be 18-3 - At this rate tallies will be the highest scorer - being positive Glamorgan are 3 down.

Someone give Mills a bloody compass! He doesn't know where the stumps are! Six extra balls in the middle of a third is disgraceful from a professional cricket team.

Mills nickname should be likerish allsorts. There are about 57 varieties of delivery that neither he nor the batsmman know where it is going.

How does a professional cricket team concede so many extras?

This match is going from the ridiculous to the sublime. Fantastic catch by Machan on the boundary - a wicket to George. Thar she blows - a second wicket to George. Aside those extras Sussex are playing really well. Now beer strikes. Glamorgan 6 down. This match is becoming quite surreal. Is this what 14 overs does to a batting side?
Extras top scorer on 17. 55-7 off 8.1 overs. George strikes again. At this rate Glamorgan will be bowled out by the 10th over. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed watching such a topsy-turvy game. Truly mesmerising. Now Archer lets a ball go through his legs for four. Never a dull moment. Next ball Joffra takes a catch. Blink and you miss the next piece of bizarreness! Glamorgan 8 down.
Mills back on - let the fireworks begin. First ball a slow bouncer that mystifies everyone - second an even slower wide. Third almost a catch. Fourth a dull dot ball - Fifth and sixth further dots. Seventh a run. Sadly, the drama is now over. Great to watch - never a dull moment with Tymal.
Another catch to Machan off Jordan. Glamorgan 9 down.
Wild ball from Jordan that flies over Brown's head. Extras now 26 - extraordinary!
