Our bowling attack may not be garbage but if we can’t bowl teams out twice at this level, with the help of two overseas signings, we’re definitely not ready for promotion. Agreed. 16 off an over from our overseas seamer to their number 10 illustrates just how poor our bowling attack is.
Anyone who thinks we're ready for promotion is living in complete cloud cuckoo land.
We cannot afford to set them any target even 400 off 50 overs with this bowling attack.
When is Pujara back because Alsop is a poor captain.
Over rate is dreadful. How to solve this? Fine the players 100% of their match fee then they will speed up.
Over rate is consistently dreadful, really makes for poor viewing.

Missed opportunities in this match.
150-0 at lunch on day one to 402 all out. Some very questionable shot selection from some of our batters, Alsop, Coles, Clark and Ibrahim.
Fought back to get Derbyshire 307-7 with all their main batters out and supposedly according to the Derbyshire commentator three 'number eleven's' to come and yet the score is now 396-8.
We could be facing a deficit on first innings, when we should have been comfortably ahead and be looking at pushing on and setting them around 350 tomorrow.
A draw now looks inevitable, unless our batting collapses second time around or we gamble big time and set a risky target for them to chase.
This really was a match we should have targeted for a win.

You're always looking for the negative first rather than any positive at all. Should Mark Wood be scoring 24 in 8 balls against the best bowling attack in test cricket? No he shouldnt but it happens. McAndrew has been solid but unspectacular. The flatness of this wicket we need to score more runs, settle battter chcuked their wicket away when we could have and perhaps needed to score 600+ to force a win.

I agree our batsmen did throw their wickets away. This team lacks the professionalism and ruthlessness aka the gohones required to get promotion.

Girly comment here, I wish we could have Fletcher commenting on all our games, he has a voice that is very easy in the ear 😂.
Secondly, opinions may differ on how ‘good’ our bowling attack is but we are in danger of missing out on the third bowling point, just saying!
Look, I got that 9th wicket by coming in here to comment!

No setting Derbyshire 375 off 75 overs! Minimum 400 off 50 overs with that short boundary and given the quality of our bowling attack.

1-2 on the so called road accoring to the realab. Alsop has had a shocking match as batsman and captain.
Sussex have handed the game to Derbyshire with rubbish shot selection and rubbish bowling.

Out of the box thinking from their captain, sadly ours is very robotic.

Haines out 34-3 game over.

We've lost? Who is going to score 300+ runs we need to get out of this with a draw?
There is no excuse for being 34-3 on this pitch.
It could be all over tonight if they bring on Scrimshaw to bowl short stuff as our batsmen themselves in the first innings when he did this.
72-4 another soft dismissal.
