Win toss, carefully consider the weather, the prevailing conditions, the forecast, the history of the fixture, both teams' respective strengths - and then bat.

It seems that a lot of the pitches around the country are similar to ours, maybe some life in it on day one and two, but completely placid by day three. Seems like the plan is bat last and hope the opposition puts us in with a chasable total. Anyway, forecast looks decent for today, hopefully, Madsen & Guest can get their hundreds.

Probably shake hands on a draw soon I didn't bother watching the end, noticed that Lloyd got his first Derbyshire wicket though (I think). Northants/Leicesters will be a draw. Slight chance of a result between Gloucestershire and Middlesex. Despite the poor start to the season we are still well in the mix, so all is not lost.

jimbo jones Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Squad for the Sussex game. Some names noticable by there complete absence from the squad, including Harry Came, Alex Thomson, and Pat Brown. I would guess Lloyd is going to open, Guest goes back to 3 and Lamb comes in at 5. DuPavillon will make his debut, and I'd guess it comes down to Conners or Morley for the last place. Middle order finally got in the runs at Headingley, a little shuffle at the top to try and strengthen the batting further. 2 overseas bowlers now can hopefully help in the quest to take wickets, though the bowling hasn’t been bad, the catching has just been abysmal.

jimbo jones Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 189-8 as the rain arrives. It's a strange thing seeing conditions that favor the bowlers. Just hope Sussex have to bat in equally taxing conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
