Day at Hove for Sussex vs Gloucestershire, drinking Cider - again, 'cos it was so hot - again, this summer is turning out to be fantastic for weather and for cricket.
Great game - thought Sussex were on for 350 after their great start, and Gloucestershire did well to hold it back to 326. Game on at half time, and Gloucestershire were looking good for the chase - chatted to a Gloucestershire fan whilst having a fag, he said that they didn't bat too deep, and he proved to be correct. Once Sussex started to take wickets they kept up the pressure with some great fielding, and were worthy winners - Lord's beckons - so hope there is the usual stand near the nursery end that does London Pride, otherwise could be a day of electric John Smith's ;-(
Alex Gidman looked great for Gloucestershire - apologies to his Dad for a boozy discussion at Lord's a couple of years ago.
Joyce also done good. Was saying that he has looked good for Sussex without looking great - perhaps he can now go on and become a Sussex great.
But the sun is shining, Sussex are off to Lord's and the Ashes starts on Wednesday - bring it on...
