GCCC's game with Sussex failed to produce the win that everyone was hoping for. Dare I say that the umpiring had an effect on th eoutcome in a rather dubious way; deducting runs to the required total after going over the allocated time. As there were many delays due to a challenged catch; a lost ball, slow chats by the batsman [Sussex] and slow walks to and from the dug-out [dislike the term as it relates to footy!] - seriously not impressed by the decision. Is such actions consistent throughout the competition one wonders. That aside it was a terrible way to hand the game to Sussex; Gould the umpire in question and his fellow conspirators, should be retired with immediate effect; he has cost GCCC dear!
