Organ and Jack did a lot of spade work in the middle as well. Bowled pretty well. Wouldn't mind getting Potgieter for the last 6 championship games.

Right, incident brushed over, slap on wrists, back in the side for the next test. The remplacements being shite couldn't but have helped the favourable outcome ..

Job done, good win. Abbott will be on a hat-trick in his next game.. probably in about 2 months. T20 now for about a month.

Manchester United weren't in the first Division for the 74/75 season that followed that WC. Don't think Liverpool were any too dominant either.

Thought 250 might bé a challenge for Sussex but it's looking really lightweight because we don't have the bowling to défend it.

And the germans look as if they might be a bit lightweight against robust teams who play good football

Sweden are catastrophic, Isaac gives the ball away and sets up the ditch 4th goal.

Pitches are becoming more of a problem nowadays. The reason? More cricket because women's matches are being played on main grounds. Also more representative games, didn't used to have all these Overseas A against Lions and the like during the regular season.

Batting conditions have obviously improved, it being less overcast. Probably need to play out a maximum of overs after tea, try to get 200+ ahead and hope for the same dire batting conditions when Sussex bat again.

Catastrophic.... Shite pitch.

The wicket and the overcast conditions are obviously causing problems. Gubbins should appel against that decision, but then that's not possible in County matchs.

I'd doubt if many could. He's just so erratic. Needs to slow down until he can bowl a regular line. Seems obsessed with bowling at 95 mph, isn't that what his shirt number is about ?

Pipe dream that, Hants 9/2

Good job we have Abbott. First innings lead of 32. Now, some serious batting is called for. Set them 350 tomorrow tea-time and it might bé interesting.

Morocco played (and won if you believe some) about 4 months ago, can't but help. They have good players but when they come up against a really good side who've played a few games we'll see what happens, depends if they finish first or second in their group, I suspect that will depend on how many Brazil put past Scotland. If they're second in their group could be against whoever loses between Netherlands and Sweden in their match. Not an easy tie that.

Well Lehmann is a top quality overseas batter, just doesn't count as overseas. We have so many holes to patch 2 overseas players isn't anywhere near enough, plus I very much doubt that we have the money to plug all the holes even if it was permitted. Bowling looks weak as well, no-one is going to convince me that, as of yet,Baker is a test bowler,he's so erratic. I have never really understood the persistance with Middleton, Currie Weatherly and even Albert, he looks like a one day slogger. Organ is a waste of time apart from the odd showing once in a blue moon but I suppose at the end of the day it comes down to money. Anyway we need to start over next season in D2 and for me personally thé point of départ is a clean sweep of the coaching staff, all of them, top to bottom.

Looking at the usual prices for NFL, concerts etc it would seem that US résidents are used to playing high prices.

I think we given up for the CC season.Poor batting,poor bowling and poor fielding.

Collapsed, my what a surprise...

Batting first by choice. Wicket looks to have a bit of mean bounce.

Poor game between two automatic elimination sides. Probably both out in the first round

Probably

How do teams as poor as South Africa qualify for the WC?

Ladies cricket doesn't interest a whole lot of people. Forcing it down people's throats won't change that. In my view there's far too much of it now. Now County Cricket..well there's not enough of it, haven't had a CC or T20 match for seems like ages.

Apparently not. Can't défend, where is Guehi?
