Out of the playing staff and trialists, who's making the trip.
Obviously, Prior, Wright & Joyce wont, who else probably wont go and will we take some academy lads ala Gatting, Rollings & Wood last year

Sussex Profit

dummy@example.com (Insurance Man) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:23:56 +0000

It is nice to hear that Sussex made a profit, ableit it being only £1,455. But too be honest although the recession has been a big factor, I would have expected that figure to have been slightly larger. Espeically, with all our success in the one-day format and the Australia tour match I would have thought the club made quite a bit of money. I would like to know how much revenue we actually made within the year (and where from) and where it was spent or lost.
The profit we made, was before massive figures were taken away like the £100,000 cost of the indoor school refurbishment and of course we still will have to pay for the ground improvements, which are a tiny sum of £8 million. I am glad we made a profit though, which is better than most of the other counties.

Just want to hear your thoughts for reassurance as much as anything because I am slightly worried about that article.

Fantastic work by everyone !

Indian Premier League

YouTube confirms worldwide deal for live Indian Premier League cricket

I've just spotted that the IPL have a deal with YouTube that allows free viewing of all 60 games on our computers.
With worldwide coverage available it certainly makes any sponsorship deals very attractive.

Balance and Continuity in the CC team

dummy@example.com (asdf64) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:14:06 +0000

Lack of which was one of the problems last year.We would like the younger players to break through but must also have a consistent side.

Last year 23 players appeared in the championship...ie the entire staff except Will Beer (who although described on this board as an established player has never played a championship game or taken a wicket) and Ben Brown

Only Six players played 14 or more games.Already we know Joyce ,Wright and Prior will probably play less than last year.

We started well with Yardy and Nash getting over 1000 runs, but unless Goodwin regains form of old the batting without Prior,Joyce and Wright looks really thin and we will need step up performances from Gatting and Hodd.

With Chawla gone our highest wicket taker was Collymore with 33,then dwayne with 25.Relegation stuff indeed so Anyon and Monty were clearly badly needed.

Its going to be a wild ride and it will need a very good season (with minimum call ups and no further injuries) to get promotion. Less than 60 days to go.

Rana Naved

dummy@example.com (wiseman) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:29:52 +0000

Rana seems determined not to live too quiet a cricketing life

http://uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/392041.html

If nothing else it clears up any hopes of him playing for us again, once and for all, probably, without doubt .........

Luke Wells

dummy@example.com (Sharkey) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:28:49 +0000

Luke Wells announced on his Facebook page on 7th January 2010 that he was quitting University to give himself the best opportunity of making it as a professional cricketer with Sussex. I sincerely hope this works out for Luke.

I have only announced this on here in the hope that it might stop Jonboy from continuously saying that we're a batsmen short.

Zimbabwe in SA domestic cricket.

dummy@example.com (SPSL11) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:58:30 +0000

South Africa have announced that a Zimbabwean team will enter their domestic franchise comps. In the 4 day comp they will play the 6 franchise teams once, whereas the franchise teams are playing each other twice. Zimbos to play in the 50 over and 20 over comps v franchises.

Cricinfo today reports that there are problems but suggest the franchises do not want to play extra games!

In addition Zimbabwe have already entered the SA secondary competition for the old provice teams. These are 3 day first class games but amateur.

SA are certainly doing their bit to get the standard of Zimbos cricket improved.

Whether Zimbos can put out 3 teams at once and what standard remains to be seen.

This weekend their first team are playing Sri Lanka A and they have fixtures coming up in both SA comps.

New Zealand versus Australia one-day international

dummy@example.com (The Good Doctor) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:20:34 +0000

Phew, what a match! Scotty Styris lifting the second ball of the last over for a boundary when the scores were tied. It's such a shame there had to be a losing team; our guests are so well-mannered and magnaniomous in adversity, and they do seem to be suffering off-field problems and no little frustration:

By the way Kim, that's 2 out of 3 for Greatbatch against the Ockers; in addition to his 100% record against Bangladesh... Are you sure it wasn't the Warwickshire players that were the problem?
