Looks like we will have to bat most of the day tomorrow too. Can't see us avoiding the follow-on.

Still got Taylor, if he can hang on in there, avoid the follow on, should be okay
You realize we still need a further 170 to avoid it!?

So the Davis experiment on the cheap is working well for Sussex.

Oddly I would say the 2 success stories this season have been Nash and Wells. Both of whom seem to have spent the winter sorting out the flaws in their technique.
Problem is, there seems to be a malaise around the club that has not been lifted by Davis. He was too much a part of Robinson's regime and so unlikely to change anything.
Thrown in that certain players seem to have a questionable attitude and things are just going backwards.

Ed Joyce 160 n.o. .............for Ireland
I wouldn't disagree with your assessment regarding Nash & Wells but I do wonder if we are giving enough youth its head and keeping faith in players that just are not delivering consistently enough
Garton has bowled well in the first XI outings he has had, I do like Phil Salt who looks an exciting batsman, Stu Whittingham has been a bit of a bonus bowling wise also and those two lads who played in the Pakistan tour returned figures that suggest they are worth a shot.
Is it worth keeping Ed Joyce going at his age even though he is still a decent bat, he's not the future? maybe a future batting coach though?

If we can see today out and still be batting 1st innings we should be ok for a draw. Is it too much to expect them to be able to bat out a full day.
Can we sign Trescothick for tomorrow?
I've played at the Nevill Ground. Its beyond flat. A lovely place to experience playing but a hiding to nothing as a fast bowler.
If the batsman show application and concentration, then anyone simply looking to survive ought to be almost impossible to get out.

I think this is Joyce's last season, heard somewhere he is taking a role with Cricket Ireland, might be wrong.
The club had a chance to go in a new direction with Robinson leaving, at last. Instead they have tried to do it on the cheap and it is not working.

Slow track ? Scoring seems very pedestrian for both sides.
Slow and very, very flat. Our match probably ran to around 100 overs. I think four wickets fell, for around 600 runs, and I didn't see a single ball misbehave.
Of course, how a wicket plays after 3.5 / 4 days of play could be a different story!

Beer 3 off 39 balls. That's the spirit!

I'm going tomorrow so hopefully our batsman can keep defending and enjoying the scenery.
