154 runs, 54 overs and 15 wickets. The Hundred hasn't left Sussex's six players needing a rest

Coles, Archer, Alsop, Mills, Crocombe and Briggs cost £1.053m but did their combined returns represent value for money?

Please email and correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I’m fair to assume that Hove and Away readers haven’t been rushing to the Utilita Bowl, Kia Oval or even Lord’s in the last few weeks to take in a Hundred game.

Would I also be right in suggesting you don’t know who’ll be playing in the final on Saturday or how many Sussex players have been taking part?

That’s fine, because I’m here to do the heavy lifting for you.

Look, I’m not a fan either. ‘Meretricious crap for the terminally gormless’ was how one of my pals described it last weekend, when he was vainly trying to persuade the landlord of the pub he was in to switch at least one of the six screens that had it on and show something - anything - else instead.
