We're a proper club innit. I imagine there'd be a rather large disdain from the members if we were called the Surrey Pigeons or something

Just shows what happens when you bowl absolute rubbish for 20 overs and drop the guy twice. Good job we have a good batting line up but they certainly need to fire and fire quickly. Well batted, can only play what you are up against but we certainly didn't help ourselves with that rubbish.

Cracking innings from root! 92 off 51 in vain.

He was pulling off some unreal whips at the end! 2 massive sixes with the flick of the wrists. Real flair.

Even buttler was commenting on them as they walked off.

Great game at glos last night (with a properly rowdy crowd) and a great moment for bat fans - AJ Tye came in and scratched around for a few balls before changing bat from an obviously high middled Grove to a blank that looked like more of an English shape, and smoked every ball he faced from then on! Including a straight six off the first ball of the last over, crucial winning moment. So yes it's true bat fans, change your willow and the runs will come ;)

As a Sussex fan, I have always been interested why they have never been able to attract the big name players.

This season we have:

Ross Taylor - Good, but his best days are behind him.
Kulasekera - Would've thought this would be a good acquisition, but is getting smashed today
Shazhad - Very hit and miss.
Mills - Probably one of the few positive signings this season and he has been carted the last few games.
Wright - Very good player but the same as Taylor.
Nash - Having only scored his first t20 ton this year, shows he isn't the greatest.
Briggs - Not good enough for Hampshire, won't be good enough here.
Jordan - Never really does anything for Sussex

As well as a few players in and about.

When you look at the other counties, even when Sussex were division 1, they couldn't attract the likes of Gayle, Buttler, Finch, McCullum.

I know the first thing as always will be money, but surely they should be able to bring in some higher quality T20 players than they currently have.

Can't speak for Lancashire, but Yorkshire have

Root, Willey, Bairstow, Plunkett and Rashid in the England team. Sidebottom and Brooks injured and Travis Head about a week or two away from landing in the UK.

Shows there is a lot of potential at Yorkshire with some of these young lads showing what they can do. Hopefully some will be able to step up consistently.

I imagine from next year when it's played in the July-August summer block it'll be far more appealing, particularly for overseas players. Wouldn't surprise me if a few stuck around after the Champions Trophy

I was in the Warner stand last night and the boundary to there was a small hit, they looked at least 20-30 yards from the fence all the way round.

The straight six to win off Finn though was some shot

The one where he cracked Tendo in the head earlier in the over was nasty, he absolutely nailed it, Tendo wore it like an absolute champ though

GM sponsoring a lot of nearly men at the moment, is it a deliberate strategy?

In the Yorkshire line-up alone:

Lyth
Lees
Head

All on the fringes of the national team.

Willey's StemGuard nearly getting a workout, very sharp bouncer by Wood. Appreciate it clips on so isn't damaged when it gets hit, but it's starting to worry me how easily it does detach. Shrey's Neck Guard looks like a very poor relative compared to it, but I doubt it'd ever come detached...
