Big group of us going to the t20 in Hove this Friday. For me Brighton away was the best day out in the prem so this is a good replacement, get to drink at the JHT in Lewes again.

Your group sounds like it's having a great time.

Just give them wickets away FFS

[Harpenden Fox]

Cruising along, Turner looking supreme, and Green follows Cox in playing an utterly senseless shot. Just push one and give the form man the strike

[SemperEadem]

Turner has been superb.

[Blueman1967]

Good win, hopefully same Sunday

[katieakita]

A mystery, won really at a canter yet made it so hard, nice to have the overseas players turn up

[when_you're_smiling]

Well done lads. Turner brilliant.

Yep - he's won the match for us. Bowled his 4 overs, 2 wickets and an economy rate of 6 and 57 off 28 balls. Fantastic performance.

[Officer Doofy]

Had to win that. Sussex are garbage. 

 

 

Big test Sunday 

[Corky]

Dragged that back really well. Second to fifth in the group all with 8 points although our NRR is the worst. A lot still to play for.

[Tommy Fresh]

Think Kelly and Turner compliment the side really well, whilst being different in what they offer

[The whole world smiles]

If you had told me after the first 3 games that we would be joint second after 5 I would have looked at you like you were smoking crack! 

 

Despite not looking convincing even in our two wins a combination of small improvements, terrible opposition and other results going our way means we are well in this competition!

Big shout out to that Hunt lad if we win this

Simpson had a shocker with the gloves too.

 

We've owed Sussex one for a while. Iron out the unnecessary aerial stuff and that's about as complete a win as you'll get in this format.

I'm not sure why Rishi Patel isn't getting a bowl as 6th bowler (or maybe 4th/5th). It's pretty obvious that spin is our strong suit, and he wouldn't be any worse than certain people who are *still* being given a bowl. Questions need to be asked about why the seamers are underperforming so badly / expensively.

Hulls lack of development is particularly worrying he is actually worse now at 21 than he was when he was 19. That shouldn't happen!

We usually start well and fall apart later in the competition so maybe the other way around suits us 😂

We really missed an opportunity with Rishi Patel, I know it was all a bit funny but he found something at the end of last season bowling wise. All we’d need is for him to get through 4 overs at less than 8 we could play an extra batter.

Not sure about that.He took 2 wickets at an average of 180 when he got selected for England agree not improved though

[everton carr]

Freddie Flintoff was moaning about the lack of a crowd at GR yesterday

 

England Lions v South Africa a fiver to get in plenty of test players on view and barely 100 in the ground.

 

The club get a good few grand to host these games there's a real danger the ECB will stop  awarding fixtures at GR if things don't improve.

It’s a fair point he makes, sadly. But also a useful piece of deflection from how poor the Lions have been against their South African counterparts

Yes they were terrible .But tbf the majority of the SA side are late 20s and most have played international cricket

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

2 very much needed wins for us, big game on Sunday. I still think our bowling is far from good enough to really challenge in this competition.

Yeah I was more thinking of the limited over stuff, I remember him being a lot more threatening but that could just be that he had a good game in the one day cup final and my memory playing tricks on me.
