Blighted by the weather

I travelled up to London to watch the Test with Dougie Heath only to spend much of the day in the hotel room following sport. I am not the only Rust staffer to fall foul of Southern Fail. All trains from the station to London were delayed or cancelled because of an earlier trespass incident. What [...]

After our excellent victory at Lords in the week over Middlesex we were flying in anticipation of high-flying Somerset, top run scorers in the south division. Alas it was not to be.

The onward march continues

The campaign seeking to advance equality with men for female sporting stars inevitably risks running into a little local difficulty when coming together the harsh realities of the world.

India crumble in ODI

The t20 match that Ivan saw on Friday and the ODI international at Lords I went to yesterday were proof negative that the white ball game can and does produce as many dreary, predictable affairs as the red ball one. England set a formidable target of 321 with Joe Root belying his t20 form, which [...]

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 [...]

Lord Ted /Alan Lee

It’s always interesting to read a biography – or autobiography – of someone one knows well  to see if it chimes with your impressions and what bits of their life you know which have not been revealed. Alan Lee’s biography was published in 1995 after Ted Dexter resigned as Chairman [...]
