Disappointed to see Rayner not selected and an abudance of seamers. Batting has been weakened. Perahps Wright is unable to bowl? Otherwise why do we need Aga,Yasir,Collymore & Hatchett? At least Aga has an opportunity to show what we can do.
I do find the selection/non-slection of Rayner baffling at the moment. He is potentially are most improved player this season.
Would imagine Hodd has an injury of some sort as Brown was not in the squad of 15.
Is this showing forward thinking by Robbo for next season with Aga and Hatchett playing, when Anyon is reported as fit
Also the position over Brown, has this been pushed more to the front? This time last year Matt was virtually 1st choice in test and ODI's, so we could all see him being away a lot.
This season Matt has lost that ODI place, at the moment, so more time back at Sussex - and proving he can play one dayers (score wise). If however they were to test Keiswetter with a test place - can see both Matt and Keiswetter going to Australia, then Robbo could have three very good keepers to keep happy and not just the two as was originally planned

I was disappointed as well, but what are the conditions like, Leicester seem to be struggling to get runs, so may be favouring the seamers the next few days.
If it does start to turn then it may force the skipper to bowl, and we always have Nasher
Hatchett gets Jefferson LBW
27/1 off ten
37/1
(England 44/1 Cook has gone)
50/2
58/3

I am glad that rags has got a start if only stopping me calling for his inclusion in the team i did feel that he would have a chance when RMJ my lord retired now its him up to him to nail his place in the team and show hes good enough and has the tempremant to suceed at 1st class level,because i believe this is probably the only chance at sussex he will get so do it and prove it rags.
Also good to see robbo being rewarded before lunch on the first day for leaving LW in the team that will really boost his belief and confidence in himself,just another plus for all of us but this is proper cricket.
It does seem a bit of a lop-sided selection, but the proof of the pudding and all that jazz. Yassy breaks the crucial partnership of Taylor and Ronald

Now in the 44th over and no sign of Monty, so is it seamer friendly - if so why have they only taken 5 wickets so far
45th over Monty comes on and takes a wicket
good work bexhillshark as the Bexhill spin meastro strikes in first over
Another bowling point....183/6
My first thought at seeing the side was of confusion. Brown in, when he wasn't in the squad and six bowlers and a batsman light. Very lop-sided.
I guess Hodd must have got injured, I'm pleased Brown's in anyway. Wright must be in as a batsman only cos you surely don't need six bowlers in any conditions.
I feel for Rayner and Thornely but at least Hatch is in. Our batting looks weak though, I'd have gone with four bowlers, Thornely in for Aga but we'll see.
193/7 another one for Hatchett 
Two wickets in two balls for Hatch, on a hatch trick 
Hatchgets another 4-45 plus a run out, great 1st day for the lad
Great stuff! He's 20, and he's taking wickets - it must be a miracle! Get Wells in and watch him crack a ton!
All out for 204 Lewis Hatchett 5-47
WELL DONE LEWIS
Aye Aye!!
Well done young man, and to the others too... 
Another success for Sussex's selection policy. Play them when they are ready, not just blindly because they are young or went to the right school.
Great effort by Hatchett a 5 for in only his 2nd CC match.
Great start to a promising career I hope for Hatch. Probably earnt himself a professional contract today. I say get the best one of the other three in before the season's out, see what they do.
It's early days but this is the sort of thing a few of us have been pushing for - try your grads before looking outside, they may make match winning contributions.
Here we go Yardy has gone 2/1 
Agreed in principle RF, but its a fine line between sucess and failure.
Look at all the angry posts because we lost on Monday night.
I think even more than ever, we have to trust the coaching staff, they see and work with the youngsters every day, and they seem to know if they are ready or not.
As today has proved.
