Sussex Sharks aiming to keep winning streak
The Sharks got off the mark in the competition lastnight with a 61 run win over Northamptonshire Steelbacks at Wantage Road on the Duckworth/Lewis Method. Sussex’s 215 for 7 included 95 from Chris Nash and 91 from skipper Ed Joyce, before Chris Jordan and Chris Liddle claimed three wickets apiece as Northamptonshire fell to 122 for 9 in the 27th over, as the rain came down again.
Sussex are without wicketkeeper-batsman Matt Prior for this match as he prepares to join up with the England squad ahead of the Test Series against New Zealand, so Matt Machan is added to the squad.
The Sussex squad is as follows:
JE Anyon
WAT Beer
BC Brown (wkt)
JS Gatting
RJ Hamilton-Brown
CJ Jordan
EC Joyce (capt)
CJ Liddle
MW Machan
CD Nash
MJ Rippon
LWP Wells
MH Yardy
