Sussex chief says lights will be sorted

Chief executive Dave Brooks insists problems with Sussex’s temperamental floodlights will be a thing of the past when they install their new £600,000 system.

Monday’s Twenty20 game against Surrey was delayed for 25 minutes after the pylons at the sea end did not come on. The county had to use an emergency generator at the ground.

The incident came three weeks after a Twenty20 game had to be abandoned after 11 overs of the second innings when the lights at the Cromwell Road end packed up.

Brooks said: “We tested the lights twice on Monday and they were fine but a circuit breaker sheared off and we had to get the back-up generator from one end of the ground to the other which was going to take time at Hove where we are confined for space and had 5,500 people in the ground.
