Sussex Sharks lose in T20

There is not much gained by having the best bowling attack in the T20 – north and south – if you cannot bat as Sussex Sharks showed last night at Hove losing to division leaders Gloucestershire. The Sharks only amassed 127, Laurie Evans  the only one to make a decent score of 41. With [...]

Sussex Sharks lose to Surrey (T20)

Sussex Sharks had one of those days generally titled as a bad day at the office and no one more than Jefra Archer. High hopes were entertained by Sussex in white ball games especially as the new coach Dizzy Gillespie won the Bash with Adelaide and recruited one of their ex-players and the top [...]

A Brighton/Fulham celebration

Alan Tanner and myself had promised to host a celebratory lunch with some Brighton supporting pals should Brighton stay up and Fulham go up. Both happened and we were as good as our word. We chose the right day yesterday as there was no World Cup game and we could also add England’s successful if [...]

Glorious Arundel

One of the many reasons I dislike the Hundred concept is its assumption that cricket is a metropolitan game. As far as back as Hambledon, the first ever cricket club, to matches on the village green and the gloriously picturesque ground at Arundel cricket is at its best in a rural setting. The [...]

Sussex v Australia

I did not really enjoy the 50 over game I watched yesterday at Hove for reasons unconnected with the cricket. On arrival in my resplendently colourful Players Club blazer the jobsworth refused me entry after production of my membership cards. I needed  a paper ticket. This is the problem – [...]

A dinner at the Museum Sussex CCC

Last night I attended a dinner at the museum in the cricket ground at Hove. I much prefer the intimacy and atmosphere of such a dinner to the rather formulaic lunches in large hotel banqueting suites which seem to go on forever. The original guest of honour was Darren Lehmann but more than one [...]

The ODI future

We are now in a cycle of county one day games for the Royal London trophy. Purists are concerned for the future of red ball cricket but if the ECB go ahead with the Hundred then it’s more likely that the ODI format would be squeezed. Sussex under Ted Dexter were early winners of the first one day [...]

More Sussex sport

One of the fears initially that Brighton HAFC might get relegated was a tough run-in featuring Manchester United, Manchester City – whom they play tonight and Liverpool away. However it was apparent that unless there was total meltdown the Seagulls would be safe long before then. We no longer [...]

Yet more Brighton sport

Saturday I returned to Hove for the third day against Middlesex and went to the greyhound stadium in the evening. The day was memorable more for the people I met then the sport I watched. Cricket is very much a social game. Although I packed the morning papers, I had little expectation of reading [...]

A surfeit of Brighton sport

Yesterday I went first to Hove Cricket Ground and then the Amex where Brighton secured their status in the top flight. County cricket has rather slipped under the sporting radar with atrocious weather preventing any result then a draw. The big stars are in India for the  IPL. I hear the players [...]
