Title: Sussex game

Well, if Khushi doesn't get recalled after this then I'll definitely believe he is heading for the door. He's scored 333 runs in the match at the time of writing and is still going. Also interesting to see Navi Dwivedi getting amongst the wickets against his old side - does anyone know anything much about him?

He averaged 18 in the One Day Cup and at a poor strike rate as well.  He was comfortably outbatted by Das, Benkenstein, Thain and Allison in that competition.  That was a real opportunity to fill his boots against attacks that are between the level of first and second XI cricket and he blew it.  It's white ball cricket, yes, but he was given the chance to open and he had a highest score of 31 in 7 innings.  It's not as if he was trying to play particularly aggressively either.

Dwivedi, according to cricket archive was born in India but has played for Essex U14s, 15s, 17s and U18s and a lot for the Essex 2nd XI.  Not sure what you mean about taking wickets against his old side?

Yeah, my mistake, the only thing I could see about him was an announcement that he'd been signed in 2022 - I thought it was Sussex, but looking again, it was a club called Sessay in the Yorks Premier League. Think I need new glasses :)
