It isn’t often that I have been able to watch a whole game, from the first to the last ball.
But the diary that is semi-retirement allowed me to
be at Hove on for Sussex v Northants on Sunday, Monday & Tuesday.
3 days in the sun.
Sussex easily beat Northants
by an innings and 85 runs, the game over by lunchtime on day 3, for their first
victory since April.
Having scored 405 in
their 1st innings (Luke Wright 158), Steve Magoffin’s 5 for 12
restricted Northants to just 116.
In the 2nd
innings Magoffin took 3 for 28 as, helped by 52 from Steven Crook, Northants
made 204.
On the Sunday lunchtime a Memorial
was unveiled to Sussex cricketers who died in WW1 and WW2.
Young Jim, the Sussex
President, read the Valediction.
And on the Monday I was
joined by Grahame Carter, a friend from Chichester.
As always, there was
time to call into The Palmeira, plenty of Gossip and - every Good Day Out has
to have one - …
Plenty of Cricket left
this Season.
Do come & watch !!
