***Durham v Sussex, 11-14 September, Chester-le-Street, LVCC Div 1***

[keaton]

Once again the complete lack of batting coach is being exposed. Too many players go after balls that should be left alone and permanently seem to be in one day mode.

I suspect they will stick with Brown. He needs a winter working with Bruce French, followed by some grade cricket on the hard wickets down under. His keeping has improved, it could not get any worse in fairness.

Remember that next season Maggofin is not classed as an overseas player, so in theory they can bring in an overseas batsman, with New Zealand and Australia over here, maybe a Saffer, maybe Amla?

Also maybe the return of a double barrelled name at number 4.

I would love to have Robin Martin-Jenkins back. And at the moment he probably would bat at 4

I see Worcs are 173/6 at Taunton which means it's probably a 500+ track.

Brown 68*

You crazy guys with your backwards scores.

'Crazy' is one word.

'Philistines' and 'Australians' are two others.

Do you think there is a realistic possibility that without The GOFF, Sussex might have been relegated this season?

To be fair, I don't think we would have a chance of 2nd place with only ONE good bowler! And to be fair, if we hadn't been playing with ten men all season (Goodwin), we might well have done even better than our current moderately decent position.

Frightening thought but yes, yes I do. Factor in Monty's input and we would be dead in the water.

 

[Badger]

There is a chance we can still get relegated, you seem to have forgotten that the table is upside down and Lancashire should be in their RIGHTFUL place at the top.
