Cracking game of Cricket in the end.
A pity as that would have been a welcome morale confidence boosting win leading into the final run of Championship matches.
Briggs comes back to haunt us!!
Can't help feeling that it would have been more a case of Warwickshire losing the match, more than us winning it, but I would have taken it.
I feel sorry for Lion-Cachet, but it sums up our campaign, a match winning catch dropped on the boundary.
Another 20 runs, a half decent death bowler or a captain with some tactical nous, any one of which and I believe we would have won today.
At least we put in a performance today and were competitive, which has not been the case for most of this tournament.
Glaring weaknesses and deficiencies that Farbrace will need to address going forward. A stable and effective opening pair, some real power hitting in the middle and latter order, a tactically aware captain and some serious strengthening of what has been shown to be a poor bowling attack.
Hopefully, the squad can draw a line under this and it won't impact on our final Championship fixtures.

Couldn’t go today as had family round, was following the game and thinking how rude it was of Sussex to win the one game I couldn’t make, in the end they didn’t get over the line, and I think that would have been more disappointing to view than the three thrashings I have seen, bit like one of those balls that keeps the fielder interested in chasing all the way to the boundary then trickles over the rope.
Good points made earlier, Pujara would have been better opening given his penchant for building an innings, Ward is OK but definitely needs to practice his catching imho, and Haines needs to relinquish the captaincy, it’s not like leading a football team, it’s a skill in its own right and makes all the difference to a game, he should concentrate on his batting.

A much better performance today. Who posted this and what's happened to the real Coverpoint? We didn't get thrashed and even more pleasing was that I finally saw some character, fight and bottle from the players.
