That is what I would have thought but the toss was uncontested and Sussex are fielding with Beer, Finch and Whittingham left out of the starting XI. Brown obviously has no regard for history! Or he thinks the Glamorgan side is so rubbish they can win the game whatever they do. Selman and Donald in. That's Glamorgan's entire batting line up! |

26-3. Glamorgan could be annihilated if they don't watch it. Glamorgan getting exactly what they deserve for picking such a weak team.

Best day of the week and we elect to bowl on a notorious featherbed. As usual, baffled by our decisions. Defensive selections. All three of the players left out are better attacking options and what better time to play them.
Wiese opening the bowling to keep it tight, Briggs in the side to do the same, Garton not even in the squad - I'm gonna send an SOS to the ECB about Garton. These are the sort of games he needs to be developing in.
As per, hommies are the ones who get cut. Develop your career somewhere that it's developable is my advice.
None of this will seem important cos we'll win anyway but it is important. Why Briggs keeps playing ahead of Beer considering the figures of both men the last time they played together says all you need to know about our negative and frightened mind-set.

Glamorgan 27-3, Archer passing 50 wickets, Robinson a wicket in his first over of his comeback game. Apart from the retention of Wiese, the team as I thought it would be. Opportunities for Robson and others to fill their boots.
Oh, and not really sure what hommies are...perhaps a throwback to Jules and Sandy homes and palones?...but Glamorgan are playing plenty of young academy players.

It only doesn't matter if you don't consider the future Sharkey. I'm talking about our negative mind-set and our bemusing inability to think ahead. And our constant ignorance towards our home-grown talent which is obvious from the past, present and therefore future.
Regarding this match only, you're right, it doesn't matter about team selection or toss. Every team has direction though, I don't like ours at all.

I hope that's funny HH, otherwise it's a bit petty to pick someone up on a tyypo.
We know why Glammy have picked what they've picked. I would never wanna see a Sussex side with that much inexperience. Beer's 28, Finch and Whittingham 23. Garton would be the one actual youngster I would be playing.

Now 83-3 as 4's are coming thick and fast off Jordan and Archer.

I agree re Garton, if nothing else it gives us a variation being a left-armer. Unfortunately I can't see our Kolpak coach dropping his Kolpak signings. |

One quick instead of one medium would have sorted them out.
We were one of two teams to elect to bowl today - on the hottest and sunniest day of the week. Derbyshire have been somewhat punished for their error but Glamorgan seconds faired a bit better.
Great return match for Robinson and a good start for newbie Robson.

The trip to Colwyn Bay to watch Sussex CC play Glamorgan CC in the Specsavers County Champs has long been looked forward to. That's quite a trek from Mid Sussex and naturally there was some concern that the Peugeot 206 might suffer the odd problem. However the old girl did us proud this morning and after arriving at lunch both Glamorgan and Sussex have also played their part in the very entertaining day.
Jofra Archer had the hosts in all sorts of trouble taking three early wickets. At lunch Sussex were well and truly in the driving seat at 26 for 3 and 96 for 4 it seemed that Glamorgan were going to roll over. After the interval Sussex seemed to loose their focus in the field which gave Meschede time and space to set about building what could be a match winning knock of 87 runs. At this level margins are very tight and 24 extra's, 4 over throws and several miss field (that went for 4) add up to quite an advantage.
Ollie Robinson was very impressive on return to first team duty collecting 4 for 46 off 18 in a total of 294 all out.
In reply Luke Wells was looking mercurial on the way to a very stylish 21 runs. It was a huge surprise to him and perhaps the large crowd watching on when Carey produced a wonder ball to dislodge his off stump. Stiaan van Zyl also got unlucky when keeper Cullen took a worldy after it nicked off a glove. Night watchman Briggs shouldered arms to a straight one and was trapped LBW. At the close of play Sussex are on 79 for 3 with it all to play for tomorrow morning. Angus Robson 44 and Chris Nash 4 will need to dig in.
My mate John and I are staying at Milverton House on the front at Llandudno and we are just out for a meal with some fellow Sussex fans. The trip is going great !!

Yawn yawn yawn, same old obsession with homegrown players 💤 Huge contradiction here Sharkey, you want a team full of homegrown Sussex players, but when the opposition do it they're the worst eleven in the history of championship cricket...hmmm.... |
