We have to win every game now to stand any chance. I'd be tempted to give Lenham and Ward a runout.

A 2ns half century in this competition in 3 innings. Rather bizarrely he seems to have come in to a lot of criticism for his performances.

We need ten an over minimum from here.

300 won't be enough!

299-8 is a decent score, but looks a bit light.
Nice cameo from Carson, whose batting has really come on this season.
At 66-0 after the powerplay and 113-1 after 20 overs, a score of between 325 and 350 would not have been unreasonable.
We seem to lack a batter that can provide a real impetus in the latter stages of the innings.
We are not out of it, but we will need to bowl really well. Particularly, our spinners, so another big opportunity for Carson.

This is becoming embarrassing. Our bowlers look completely lost. Far too many bad balls. At present, Derbyshire will cruise
to an easy victory.
We need a miracle to turn this around.
Derbyshire: 130-0 off 17 overs.
Given only two players have been lost to the 100 (Garton and Mills), neither of whom play for us in the Championship, this
is the best side Sussex have with Pujara back (minus Robinson). Pujara should be re-given the captaincy. Haines appears out
of his depth. Good to see an improved batting performance from him though.
Adrian Harms is very much down in the dumps over this bowling performance.
edit
Yet another easy catch dropped. Unbelievable. Archie Lehman is having an absolute mare.

Very reminiscent of the Durham match.
Currently, being outplayed in every discipline. We just don't look like taking a wicket, let alone stopping the flow of runs.
100 up in just the 14th over and we now turn to our seventh bowler in just the 16th.
Plenty of overs left, but this will take some winning from this position.
I like others am not convinced of Haines captaincy credentials, but very unfair to point the finger at him, when you look at how some of his team mates have performed to date in the competition.
Now a catch goes down 😟😥.

If this doesn't improve, there will need to be a serious discussion about our bowling.
Kirtley has to go; what does he do?
All our promising seamers are going backwards.
Doesn't get any worse two dropped catches now; and Harms is revelling in our fragility.

Terrible is the only word.
Huge pressure in the last 4 CC games, i think we have to get promotion now otherwise i'd have to concede the season has been a disaster.
