@WG_RumblePants An April Sunday season opener for us so we rarely saw flowers beyond the 5 jumpers horizon!

Our club has been run by the wrong people in the wrong way. We now find ourselves in a desperate place. Those that have got us here aren’t the right people to get us out. This is not just a financial issue but a cultural issue that has been allowed to exist for far too long.

[Leo Eyles @Seagulleo]

It's an old wicket and very worn. No excuse in my book. Umpires ought to take a dim view but rarely do these days.

[PaulCollinson2 @PCollinson24]

@SussexCCC Absolutely scandalous wicket produced by @hantscricket

I’m sure they will have ‘prepared mitigations’, but this early in the season - there is no excuse for it!

@Jimbo_Cricket Spot on. Badger tweet of the season to date.

[Leo Eyles @Seagulleo]

@hindmarshdavid @jslovechild Is the winner by a short head.

@DogmaBrighton Oh we do like to be beside the seaside

Your regular reminder that the English Cricket Board despises the County Championship. Pope also emerges dreadfully from this. Two years ago Chris Woakes was in the same situation. He turned out for Warwickshire.

@_PaulHayward @timrich001 Unseeded first round tie between the two English clubs involved. Clough somehow got the retired Bill Shankly on the Forest coach pre-match to boost spirits.

@DogImaginary @SussexCCC 68. No, am in London today.

[Leo Eyles @Seagulleo]

@DogImaginary @SussexCCC Few of us clapped when he reached the 1000 milestone, the announcer/scorers reported it later.

@mattmachan It's a myth it makes money. Huge investment in marketing and promotion plus it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

@JaredSandler Canseco*, McGuire*....

@robbopalmer @sidlowe @RealBetis_en @SevillaFC_ENG @GironaFC_Engl Understandable. So much better than the stinking Pijuan.

[Leo Eyles @Seagulleo]

@LewesSupporters Apart from the facts that we are at home here and Paula Howells is up top, that is a decent Tweet...

@politic_animal You may want to stay below decks for the first few nautical miles...

@politic_animal Those cliff slopes led to the worst snow avalanche disaster in English history. Where the tumbledown cottages stood and were buried now lies a pub: The Snowdrop.

@politic_animal You just passed the GE stock going Up.

[Leo Eyles @Seagulleo]

@politic_animal FWIW I live just south of Lewes with a splendid view across the valley to the Seaford line service, in a house once lived in by SirACD's sister and from where he wrote occasionally. Look for the left hand of 2 white houses.
