Re: Sussex v Leicestershire LVCC2 Hove 27 April - 30 April

shrouded in mystery Observer - I'd go for teh winning team v Glos (assuming all fit) and like jonboys RMJ before Hodd order.

Interesting listening to the Muzz interview - he's really relishing taking on the captaincy, and obviously his many years experience out in the middle give him extra insight - his idea that Anyon may blunt the Glos seam bowling attack for example really paid off.

welcome back LL - volcanic ash problems ?

Yes, although they had stopped when we were due to fly, but we got shunted to make room for others who had been delayed.

Amazing that two weeks in April meant 3 CC matches!!

Best days forecast... days one and two...  shouldn't we have batted? 

And blimey, they're pasting us around the ground.

Worried and bemused!

Has Mr Lees stepped on a cable? It's gone very quiet... Although there appears to have been a problem with the BBC website, I have had no problems getting Hand at Lords, so I'm guessing the problem is at the County Gound. Someone please wake him up.

Re: Sussex v Leicestershire LVCC2 Hove 27 April - 30 April

What a fantastic start!

Goodwin's decision to put Leicestershire in is a resounding good one. RMJ after 3 overs was 1 wicket for 0 runs. Let his resurgence continue.

Not sure who's left in the batting order that could be deemed 'dangerous'.

There it is - the fifth wicket and Jimmy's second. 67-5. Blimey, Leicestershire could be all out before tea!!

Sorry, I'll edit that as the 6th goes down... before lunch!  wink

Gordon Bennett. Great start. Is pitch misbehaving or just good bowling/poor batting?

Just a little worried when it's our turn!
