Managed to take an early wicket:Hamilton-Brown ct Trott b Patel 54Joyce 127Machan in282-3 another 48 required.Quote from: adrenachrome on April 15, 2014, 11:08:45 PMI have attended all 3 days, and it does not augur well for the season, I am said to say.I have been there for 2 days but i don't feel quite so pessimistic, Wright's bowling a minor cause for concern but not too worried about Choprahe will come good. Where the real problem lies is around the fielding particularly catching, a number of dropped catches in this game. Bell probablymade a mistake at the toss and remember Sussex are a very good side....we've lost out this time but we will be there or thereabouts by season end.

They are good in favourable conditions but lack penetration otherwise. I hope to be proved very wrong.
Sorry, but Trott trying to make light of his condition doesn't excuse the likes of Vaughan, especially when they had seen it before with Trescothick. All the signs were there even watching on the telly from thousands of miles away. I said in the Ashes thread when he was facing Johnson that his head had gone, he looked a nervous wreck out there. Surely one of the things a pundit should do is some basic research before gobbing off about someone bottling it, Trott used to be one of the calmest batsmen out there with all his rituals before every ball, when he started hopping about like a frightened rabbit it was pretty obvious something was very wrong.
