Sussex Sharks triumph in T20

Sussex Sharks ended Kent Spitfires run of 5 victories last night at Hove. It was an emphatic victory achieved with 4 overs to spare. After 5 overs when Kent had scored 51 the Sharks looked in trouble. However the Sharks have a bowling attack of raw pace in Jefra Archer (who looked fitter than Jimmy [...]

Dinner at Cricket Museum Hove CCC

I always enjoy a dinner at the cricket museum at Hove cricket ground and last night attended a Pre-Ashes one where Sussex head coach Jason “Dizzy” Gillespie entertained us. Looking at the various exhibits I was struck by a board titled Matt Hobden. I suspect many of our readers do not remember [...]

Meltdown in Hove

How do you manage to go from the potentially victorious position of having the opposition (Northamptonshire) over the barrel of 157-5 on the first day to following on 167 runs behind on the second yesterday? Ask Sussex as this is what happened. The ball can fly around in the morning at Hove but [...]

A glorious day at Arundel

I prefer Arundel week to anything else in the sporting calendar. Nothing surpasses the sheer beauty of the cricket ground bordered by old trees with one gap in them to see the river Arun and downs. You can see the Duke of Norfolk’s castle and the cathedral. It’s short of stands with one [...]

Sussex v Glamorgan

It’s been too cold and I have been otherwise engaged but yesterday, for the first time this summer, I made it down to Hove CCC for the first day of the county game against Glamorgan. There was still a nip in the air but where better to be when the sun comes out than Hove CCC with a pint of [...]

Brighton 1 Manchester City 4

Prior to kick-off I wanted to take my godson for breakfast at Brighton Marina. My choice was the Malmaison but a woman with folded arms at the entrance said the hotel was closed. This was not strictly true. It had been taken over completely by Manchester City, its players and staff. God knows what [...]

Sussex sports

Our dear friends at Crystal Palace, by beating Cardiff, kept the Seagulls up as we appeared to be sleepwalking into relegation. Sussex Sharks lost yesterday by 116 runs to 4th place Gloucestershire at the Saffrons Ground, Eastbourne. I went to the match. I like the outer grounds of Sussex, [...]

Hampshire beat Sussex by 9 runs

I do not suppose there will be more than a paragraph in the sporting media on Hampshire’s victory in the Royal London Cup but it was a thrilling contest. For the second match in succession Sussex took the game to a final over but unlike Essex there was no victory. Hampshire set an imposing total [...]

Spurs 1 Brighton 0

Braveheart Brighton threw their bodies on the line but cruelly Spurs got their winner in the 88th minute through Christian Eriksen. Braveheart is not the best cinema comparison  – Zulu! would be as it was like Rorke’s Drift at Spurs new stadium as Lewis Dunk threw himself at and into the [...]

Sussex beat Surrey in Royal London Cup

Where better to be on a sun drenched day than Hove? Bob Tickler’s flat in Nice maybe. Sussex inflicted Surrey’s second defeat in the Royal London – the once Gillette Cup – by 2 wickets and 11 balls. David Wiese the big South African all rounder was unquestionably man of the match [...]
