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.

There is no side to side stability
Size: 28 Inch
This product was easy to assemble and install and came with all parts. The product itself is very sturdy, looks good with a nice industrial aesthetic BUT - there is ZERO stability side to side (lengthwise) as the plates which attach to the wood are too small. I have them set closer than the picture so it is not an issue of being too far apart. If anyone else had this problem AND FIGURED OUT A FIX FOR IT - please share!!

Fairly stable. Good value for the price

Great set of stands. You have to tighten them pretty snugly to minimize wobble. Given they are metal they’ll have a little bit more give than solid wood. Even so, a tall desk I built with them remains stable and level.
