Nash shown no form for a time now and Yardy who we know has had his personal problems looks overweight and unfit. Rather have lunch and back to the pub than bat!

Who is responsible for the quality of technique and general batting competence that has been consistently demonstrated by our lower order this season ...?
Maybe we need to advertise for a coach of batsmen listed 1-6 in the order...?

I have to say that interspersing 20/20 cricket and county 4-day matches is not a good idea. We're struggling to produce world class players in either form of the game. Surely it is better to get your league season out of the way by, say, the third week of July, then have your 20/20 and one-day tournaments in the school holidays? That separation would be better for focus and technique. It would also help define each of the separate competitions.

We could save ourselves a whole lot of effort, and just condense these threads to this.

Best squad probably since 2006 (2007 was a bit on its last legs), but this squad fast looking at the wrong end of the table and our lack of batting points could prove very costly in the final shake up.

Piss poor even by Sussex's standards. To have Notts at 98-7 in 1st innings and 108-7 in 2nd but end up getting stuffed by 159 runs is top class crappyness. Well Played! Who's next?

The batting lineup is misfiring badly, one of Gnasher and Wells will usually go for cheap and open the door to the middle order. Joyce has not hit sustained form this term and poor old Yards is past his best. Catchdropper is out of his depth and Brown had lost his midas touch compared to last term. Lukey started like a rocket but, like a rocket, has fizzled out. It seems we have to rely on the bowlers to get us up to any sort of total.
We have also lost the killer instinct when we have a team on the floor. Century partnerships between 6-7-8-9 are commonplace and we can't stop them. Other than that...

Yes, agreed. Can you now implement please.
Bit harsh on Brown: he made a 50 on a dodgy wicket to win us the game against Warks, has scored a ton and has an average of 36.5: I wouldn't mind betting that's one of the better averages for a number 7 in the CC.
It's Nash, Yardy, Joyce and Wright (and to a certain extent Wells) we should be looking at - they're our senior players: we're nearly halfway through the season and not one of them has scored a ton yet. The trouble is that they pretty much know they're safe no matter what sort of form they're in as we haven't got enough batsmen to replace them. Our bowlers have been great this year and will stop us from being relegated but it could have been so much better
