The history of Sussex CCC, the oldest of the county cricket clubs, is nothing if not dramatic. In 2003, they seized the Championship title for the first time. Since then, they have been the dominant force in the domestic game. This is the story.

That first Championship in 2003 was the subject of the critically acclaimed "The Longest Journey". Now authors Paul Weaver and Bruce Talbot return to explain why this has been the richest period in the club's already vivid history.

Going behind the scenes, the authors talk to players and coaches, old and new, to explore the big questions surrounding the club. Why, they ask, did a club with some of the most exciting players in the game find the big prize so elusive for so long?

Why, they ask, did a club with some of the most exciting players in the game find the big prize so elusive for so long?

And how, after a revolution in 1997, did the club embark on one of the headiest voyages in the history of county cricket. Note the story ends in 2008.

made well

I couldn't get this in my size (medium) so I ordered large. it's a little large in the shoulders, but it still looks good. it is a well made, substantial jacket. I love it!

good stretch
Size: 10 Long, Color: Dark Wash
Honestly, these are one of those surprisingly good basics—especially for the price. The biggest standout is the stretch. They’re really comfortable and move with you, so they don’t have that stiff “jeans” feeling. They hug your body in a flattering way without feeling too tight or restrictive, which makes them easy to wear all day. The mid-rise fit is also a sweet spot—not too low, not too high—so they’re super versatile with different tops. What I liked: Very stretchy and comfortable (almost feels like jeggings, but still looks like denim) Flattering skinny fit through the legs Easy everyday jeans—work, errands, going out Great value for the price What to know: Material is on the thinner side (more comfort than “structured denim”) They can lose shape slightly after a full day of wear Not the most durable long-term compared to higher-end denim Final thoughts: These are perfect if you want cute, comfortable, affordable jeans you can throw on with anything. Not premium denim, but for everyday wear—they definitely get the job done and are worth having in your rotation.

Size down.
Size: 8 Long, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
They are high stretch so I would size down from your usual size. I have bought size 10 in their brand and noticed the two previous I've purchased before this one were loose. So when I purchased this one I sized down and they fit good to me. I got long so they are LONG. And the regular would probably fit at your ankle or above. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars was bc I don’t feel it mid rise to me it feels like high rise but I don’t feel them uncomfortable and also THEY ARE NOT SKINNY JEANS. They are straight leg and a tad bit loose so if you want stretch and skinny jeans these are not the ones for you. I only bought them thinking they were like the picture but it’s false advertisement.
