At least we do get to play them twice. Imagine if they were one of the two teams that we don't play twice and how that might impact on our position in the table. It is ludicrous that the vehicle that is meant to produce Test players doesn't have a level playing field.
On a slightly different subject, I took a look at the list of players "bought" for the much loved Hundred (spit)
It looks like we have only 3 at present including both of our current 'keepers.
Who would be behind the stumps for us in the 50 overs matches ?
Harry Finch has kept in every single 2s game for that reason. He's a natural athlete but not someone who came through the Sussex system as a keeper but I suspect that, in signing him and encouraging him to take the gloves, we have tried to kill two birds with one stone. He looks competent enough though.
Which was just as well because we are now all out and DBD is left stranded on 300* (439)
621 all out and a lead of 384
That won't do his average any harm! Well done DBD!
2014 was the only year that DBD actually reached 1,000 runs for the season. I was thinking that, after this innings, he must be well on his way to doing it again - only to discover that, with 490 runs so far, he isn't even half way there!
Another to Denly. I said that this pitch looked like it would spin and suit Qadri but forgot that Denly is the one to turn the ball away from the right hander and also, as a wrist spinner, the ability to get more spin out of the foot holes to the left handers

Got some practice in during the Royal London final last year too, I seem to recall

Now we need the bowlers to continue the way they started before lunch and finish this off as a maximum points win!!

Not so sure about that decision by Baby Bumble, looked to be turning down leg.

The umpires haven't left the field.
