00:00Good afternoon and welcome to Wantage Road. I've got Grant Flower with me, who is the manager of our Metro Bank campaign.
00:10Grant, first of all, congratulations. Two wins and two. You must be delighted.
00:15Thanks very much. Yeah, yeah, very. That was a really good pitch by the guys, Chase Brindley.
00:21You can see it was class today. It was really refreshing to see him play like a class shot.
00:27And Haynes, great partnership again. Haynes, solid. So, I think they were probably just a bit under par with their score on a good pitch.
00:38But, yeah, I can't, there's not many more words than that.
00:44Well, I've got to say that the top order over the last two games has really showed its worth.
00:49And an opening stance, I think, about 107, maybe nearly 200 today, wasn't it?
00:55I mean, you've got to be pleased with your batting line-up.
00:58Yeah, definitely. The guys are playing very confidently. And, you know, winning, that's what it does.
01:05It creates self-belief. And the guys are definitely believing and they're improving all the time.
01:11And we've batted a long way down. We've got batting down to nine. Even Verdi Foreman today, he can bat. So, he's came into the team.
01:21And I think we finished our bowling really strongly. We had good momentum from that and we took that into our batting.
01:28Certainly.
01:29Certainly.
01:30Finally, you know me, I want Sussex to go out and win everything that we play.
01:37The Metro Bank competition, we've entered it. Can we now sort of like now go and mount a challenge and go real deep into this competition?
01:47We've got two really fantastic, exciting home opportunities coming up with Somerset and Yorkshire coming. You must be really looking forward to those home games.
01:57Yeah, I'm excited. It'll be a good challenge. They're two very good teams. I know they're playing good cricket. But there's no reason why we can't beat them, especially at home. So, it's an exciting time.
02:09So, I suppose the message is for all the fans to get out there down to Hove for those two games, pack the place out and make it quite a pulsating atmosphere again.
02:18I hope so. Yeah. And, you know, our grassmen always prepare really good pitches there. So, it should be good cricket. And, yeah, I hope we get some good grass.
02:28Well, okay. Well, thank you very much for coming out and speaking to me. I know you've got to get up there with the players. Good luck with the rest of the campaign.
02:35Alright. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
