1st Ashes Tour Match :: Sussex v Australians at Hove :: 24-27 June

Lee finished with good figures.

If he continues that, he'll be a shoe in for the test.

The thing I worry about with Lee is his poor record in England. And if hes not swinging it, he could be easy pickings for the English.

Lee was going at just under 5 an over before he returned for his final 2 or 3 overs.

Siddle and Hilfy picked up top order wickets, should count for more than a few at the end.

Siddle and Clark were probably the stand outs IMO, Hilffy was nagging, Lee struggled early and came back well... If you consider that Lee hasnt played a test or 4day game in a long time (since india) he could have just been blowing out some cobwebs... im more worried about Punter and Hussy, I hope they both fire

The Hughes machine is back up and running again. Ponting got some runs, just needs to convert into a big 100. North is the problem right now, hasn't done anything in a while.

I would look to give North an extended run (his offspiners are good and his batting can be very good) but if he doesn't work out then we will probably bring in Watson (who tbh just annoys me) and a spinner for a pace bowler(which will be Hauri) and we will have a lesser batsman, spin bowler and pace bowler

aust in trouble here, Hilfy picks up a wicket...

Sussex 7 down, with about 55 needed with 6 left.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Hauritz out shined by a part timer ..... again.

 

[hineyrulz]

The bowling is looking very average.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Siddle now a 'lock' for 1st test according to Neilsen.

In the next tour match I'd expect the bowlers to be Lee, Johnson, Clark and McDonald/Hauritz. Haddin may also be rested ahead of the 1st test for Manou.

Siddle should have been locked in well before this tour match.... I beleive it is a fight between Lee and Hilfy for sure. If hauritz plays clark will miss out but with any luck North is the all rounder so Clark can play.

30 overs to go, 3 wickets to get.

Absolutely nothing doing.
