The last home T20 of the season where the Sussex marketing is going out with a blast offering £1 admission to all
those under 18 years. Another disappointing season, the second in a row, where similar problems have manifested
from the previous year and where little has been done to rectify them. Then we were told it was a 'blip'. This season
could be called 'a blop'. A big concern for the commercial arm of the club who regularly used a good run to the QFs
and occasional Finals Day to fill financial holes in their accounts.

Tempting to play a few fresh faces from the seconds - but a deliberately weakened team would be unfair on Glamorgan's rivals as Hants, Surrey and Somerset are all in contention with the Welshmen for the three remaining qualifying places (Essex already through, of course)and also battling hard to come second for a lucrative home q/f which will be worth close to £100k.
Surrey v Somerset tomorrow will be a big game.

Magoffin in for Arafat. Astonishing! His T20 debut for Sussex...and his first T20 in six years since he played for Western Australia in 2008.
Where do we hide him in the field?
on edit: apparently only the NINTH T20 game in an 11 year career...

Arafat allegedly has "a tight groin". Mags in the shark tank, perhaps?  PS: Just did an interview with the SKY catering truck and head chef Adam. Fascinating stuff. Will give it a mention on the blog along with the fake marriage that took place in front of Cafe Pasticci! Usual SKY suspects commentating along with my favourite sneerer the disdainful, Nick Knight. |

on edit: apparently only the NINTH T20 game in an 11 year career... To hell with that, just don't urge him to do anything controversial with an important game at Horsham, of all his favourite places, to play in on Monday. Bowling like Liddle and fielding like the fourth day on an un-relaid wicket with the game drifting into somnolence will do very nicely. |

Liddle not disappointing. A 4 and two consecutive wides with his first 4 Balls.
edit. Another 4 off his last 8 ball over.

I recall a recent game at Hove, hh, when you and me had a good chuckle over Magoffin sticking out his boot to stop a ball on the boundary and then tried to come up with a list of other present day cricketers who still use the old size 11 to field, rather than sliding and diving and generally risking life and limb to turn a four into a three. I think you suggested Ryan Sidebottom - and after that we got stuck and our list stalled at those two! |

Glamorgan making hay. The crowds are still pouring in with a 4,500 attendance expected. Not even £1 admission for under 18s has had much effect on a swell. The early 6.30pm start has certainly confused some.
That 6 off Hatchett missed the front window of a nearby house by inches. It's taken a bit of brick out with it. Do local residents have cricket insurance?

the fake marriage that took place in front of Cafe Pasticci Andrew Zzzsztrauss and Kevin Pietersen? Piers Morgan and Alastair Cook? Lou Vincent and Mark Robinson? George Dobell and his reflection in a pool of water? Imran Khan and two-thirds of Brighton's female population? I think we should be told... |

Will Beer on fire!
Mr red nose needs dousing too.
edit. Cooke goes cheaply... Phew!
Will does it again. When I next see his new girlfriend she deserves a massive hug.
Will's maturing fast.
Muzza walks in to rapturous applause.

Currently 3-10 from 3 overs. At this rate, Moores and Whittaker are going to call him up to the England Test team before Robinson can bring himself to admit that Will deserves a place in the Sussex four day side! |
