Simon MannHOST
... no, no.
Simon HughesHOST
And l- I, I just, uh, just to kind of finish on that one, I, I remember my first ever under-25 game for Middlesex, before I even played first class, I played an under-25 game against Sussex.
Simon HughesHOST
And Sussex had in their team Imran Khan, who was trialing for, you know, overseas player; Javed Miandad; Garth Le Roux, another trialist, a South African fast bowler; and also Kepler Wessels.
Simon HughesHOST
You were allowed to play, you know, an extra number of overseas players.
Simon MannHOST
And for those people who don't know all those names, they were all top-class cricketers.
Charlie CookeHOST
Ollie Robinson was having a bit of a break.
Charlie CookeHOST
He didn't really feature in the one-day cup for Sussex and you just think so they haven't got a lot of cricket they haven't played Red Bull cricket since June I know that Ollie Robinson played a little bit for Sussex I think in between but again because the blast was on basically during the New Zealand series and then after and then you go into that White Bull series versus India then you go into the 100 there's just not a lot of overs in these bowlers legs and you really saw it today So, for instance, like, Ollie Robinson has to bowl 23 overs, Archer 22, Gus Atkinson 24, Josh Tongue 22, and they were puffing at the end of it.
Charlie CookeHOST
It looked like they bowled double the amount of overs, and they were really struggling.
Charlie CookeHOST
And I do think that Joe Root missed the trick by not going to Dan Lawrence.
David WrightPANELIST
And, uh, uh, and we start, uh, this week at, uh, at Hove, yeah, needing, needing a result, needing something.
DarrenHOST
You know, Sussex, um- Beat Essex in another incredible game.
DarrenHOST
Um, a, a, a collapse the likes I've, I've never seen.
DarrenHOST
Soon to be Surrey new boy, uh, Crocombe, uh, doing some serious damage, taking his second hat trick in as many games.
David WrightPANELIST
But I, you know, Gareth Batty admitted that, you know, some firm conversations have happened in that dressing room, and, and they need to.
David WrightPANELIST
So yeah, we can only hope for, uh, an upward tick next year.
DarrenHOST
What's the mood like amongst the fans? Essex fans, particularly since the Sussex result, are, I don't want to say going into panic mode, but there's certainly a, a lot of worried people about the fixture congestion m- uh, married up with some injury concerns.
DarrenHOST
There's a bit of doubt about Simon Harmer.
Faraaz NoorHOST
Do you know what I mean? Uh, so I feel as if it's really promising to see these lads who have been picked on merit because that is ultimately what you should be picking a side on.
Sam EllardHOST
Uh, Georgie, anything stand out for you from those squads? Henry Crocombe obviously going really well for Sussex.
Sam EllardHOST
Have you seen much of him?
Georgie HeathHOST
No, not that much, but he's having a good old time of it, isn't he, in the, um-
Sam EllardHOST
Warwickshire are just five points off the top themselves.
Sam EllardHOST
The India test spinner Manaf Sutar took seven wickets in the match, uh, as they picked up a big victory against Hampshire, who are rock bottom and are really, really struggling.
Sam EllardHOST
And Henry Crocombe has taken a hat-trick in successive first class matches, uh, for Sussex against Essex.
Sam EllardHOST
Sussex picking up a big victory there.
Simon MannHOST
I, I, I was kind of thinking another test here, would they rest him, you know, with his injury background? Would they rest him from the T20s and the one day is coming up against Sri Lanka? No, he's in both squads.
Simon MannHOST
What have you made of, of, of him, um, as a, you know, former, well, he's not a former Sussex man, but as a Sussex man yourself, uh, Matt?
Matt PriorGUEST
W- well, I think Jofra Archer being fit is just good news.
Matt PriorGUEST
Um, and the fact that he's been able to put the performance in game after game after game, um, feel, and, and obviously his pace has been up.
Lee KeysHOST
[laughs]
Tim MuntonGUEST
I said, "That's about as much as I can give you." He said, "Well, if he's trying, I think he's got a chance." "Well," I said, "so do I, but don't back him on my behalf." And then Giddo giving me the commentary from his phone all the way from Sussex or wherever he was to me out in, in Galle in Sri Lanka, and we got cut off about three times, but we went through the whole race and we got cut off about, I don't know, a furlong to go.
Tim MuntonGUEST
And he was like, "Oh, there's no...
Tim MuntonGUEST
He's going backwards.

Kevin DeanHOST
It's, it is one of the most fascinating County Championships for years.
Kevin DeanHOST
We've got probably six teams that prob- can still get relegated and three teams.
Kevin DeanHOST
Even Sussex might have a s- small chance, but I think probably Somerset, Nottinghamshire, and Warwickshire are probably sort of right in it.
Kevin DeanHOST
Muntz obviously may know a lot more about the Warwickshire chance.
Geoff LemonHOST
Mm-hmm
Adam CollinsHOST
... takes us all the way down to Chelmsford, where Sussex have had a great win over Essex, uh, by 47 runs.
Adam CollinsHOST
So, let's set it up here.
Adam CollinsHOST
Sussex, who are at the moment after this round, after this win, are only 27 points behind the aforementioned Somerset.
Adam CollinsHOST
They got 275 wickets for Porter.
Adam CollinsHOST
Uh, but then Essex, who were going quite nicely until the Henry Crocombe intervention.
Adam CollinsHOST
Um, another hat-trick.
Adam CollinsHOST
We're gonna talk about this in a sec.
Jos ButtlerHOST
[upbeat music] Elsewhere in the cricket world, lots has been happening in the County Championship as it heads to its conclusion.
Jos ButtlerHOST
Broadly, did you catch Henry Crocombe's back-to-back hat-tricks for Sussex? Got the first one against Somerset, a week later against Essex.
Jos ButtlerHOST
Um, just wanna give you a probability of that.
Jos ButtlerHOST
Getting back-to-back hat-tricks is 1 in 510,204, which is outrageous, isn't it?
Ian ShepherdHOST
Yeah, I mean, we haven't been together for a couple of weeks.
Ian ShepherdHOST
That's mainly my fault because I've been sort of here, there and everywhere and quite busy and did my best to keep up with the Sussex game if we want to start there.
Ian ShepherdHOST
Just have a little recap on that one.
Ian ShepherdHOST
I was over at Disney with the family for that one.
Anthony GibsonPANELIST
But it was much better in the second innings.
Anthony GibsonPANELIST
And they also pulled it back very well.
Anthony GibsonPANELIST
when Sussex were going very well.
Anthony GibsonPANELIST
140-odd for two, they were.
Dan HaggerCORRESPONDENT
I mean, there's probably, what, 20 points separating ninth and fifth, I believe, I think.
Dan HaggerCORRESPONDENT
I mean, Sussex are next up.
Dan HaggerCORRESPONDENT
We're only a point or two behind them.
Dan HaggerCORRESPONDENT
So we're all sort of... clambering to get away from the...
DarrenHOST
That's right.
DarrenHOST
That's right.
DarrenHOST
So, yeah, as you say, Sussex next, a trip to Headingley to play Yorkshire after that.
DarrenHOST
We're now sort of in the final run of the season now.
