C.C:: Sussex v Durham (Hove)

Fuck me that sounds like some accident.

Fine, apology accepted and I'll ask if he's OK instead.

*insert joke about jaw being wired shut here*
Well, that should give him plenty of new material to talk about in between overs for the next few years!
 

Aye I am not a big critic of Franklin but he doesnt seem well liked, county cricket isnt like football, fans are a lot closer to knowing whats going on.

Seems like there is something amiss, even people I was talking to last week didnt seem fans.

It is noticeable how well we did without him in 50 over stuff mind
To gauge the feeling towards Franklin I would suggest anyone simply have a stroll around the ground (but maybe not the boundary rope🤔) during the lunch or tea break and listen to the conversations.....or better still watch the body language of some of the players when he's around.

from what i've heard skirting the boundary rope would be the best way to get an impression of what franklin is like ;)

When is he around the players in public eye
 
If Trevaskis is medically fit then for me he plays.Like learning to ride a bike.Get back on asap before mind games set in . Drissell,Gibson and Jones unluckily on drinks duties.Maybe bat KP at 5 🤔

Even this is like not explicit enough for me! Need specifics

it's a fair point, although jones for trevaskis would (in theory) really shore up the batting.
 
agree, but if he doesn't do that he's gonna have to start scoring runs!
Another scenario is that Ned has to chip in with his share of runs.At first glance he seems to have a guaranteed spot in the championship games.Young Mackintosh might get a chance in the 50 overs and I think Bedingham has kept wicket before 🤔 so could do so in the slap and tickle .
 
Please provide some evidence then smart arse been to several Durham and a few England games

back on ignore you go.

the likes of johnson and whed are argumentative as fuck but at least have some cricketing nouse and provide some interesting thoughts to go with it.

you just seem determined to kick off no matter how wrong you are and have nowt to add

i think the obvious move is borthwick bats 3 and captains the test side, bedingham captains dccc. i like eck, like pretty much everyone outside the openers he needs to start scoring

I'm not people are just making things up to have a go at the coach

But (in fact) Trevaskis has a far better batting average(27.05) to Jones (22.15). Now will we ever develop as spinner unless we give him opportunities.

Are you seriously saying that people who are around the workplace on a regular basis can't form a reliable opinion of how well the leader is respected?
