England massively missed a trick not picking Steven Finn in this game as the only option they had who could bowl at 90mph. Wood was clearly not fit.
Anything can happen with a round ball.

Coz we're going up, and we'll win the cup, for Sussex by the Sea!

Mitch1 is doing what the old West Indians used to do here, flogging life out of dead pitches.

Don't think Finn is bowling 90mph any more?

I reckon MJ will retire from Test cricket within the next 12 months. He looks spent.

Thrilling for the Aussies not for us. I never appreciate good cricket by the opposition, it's all negative from England as far as I'm concerned!


That's why you're so often on 'Moan of the day' thread.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Still a featherbed. England should be hard to dig out on this.

We should be getting used to diabolical starts and middle order recoveries by now.

England have a lot of middle order.

More likely to follow the Headingley 81 path.
