1 win 11 games. If this was football there would be chants of sacked in the morning, they'll be sacked in the morning, sacked in the morning, they'll be sacked in the morning!

It really is time for DL to be updated to reflect modern batting attitudes and fielding restrictions. Sussex should not have got anywhere near that score. It was only the rain adjustment that gave them a chance which they nearly brilliantly seized.

All credit to Sussex, they showed fight and determination during their batting which has been lacking in recent months and their
performance was a much needed fillip for home supporters.
Finally, George came to the party and this augurs well for the T20 QFs. The cynic might suggest the SKY cameras brought the
best out of him but, perhaps, that's what these top international players need?

With no wins in six and Sussex nailed on to finish bottom of the group, can I make a suggestion to Jon Filby for the one remaining home game v Essex on Aug 19? We know that Jim May has a loathing of free tickets (even when provided by sponsors "without whom" etc etc) - but as part of Jon's project to "develop stronger links between our county team and recreational clubs", why not blitz those clubs (and their junior sections in particular) with a couple of thousand free tickets ? "Performance, Participation, Community and Sustainability", I think, were the four prongs of Jon's strategy and such an initiative perfectly fits those objectives.
In terms of paying customers Hove is going to be three-quarters empty on the 19th, so there is no reason why Sussex's recreational cricket clubs shouldn't be papered with free tickets, is there?

Nope. They should do it with every game they don't expect a full house regardless of whether it's a dead rubber or not, so most games. Win win ain't it? If I was on the strategic workforce, or whatever, I'd have said that within ten minutes of being an employed adult. I can think of plenty of pros, what are the cons? |

Two things though, I probably meant youth, as BM alluded to, and how many people at one-day games and CC games aren't paid up members anyway? How many people at a CC game for instance have bought a ticket for that one game I wonder. |

Great idea but why not go a step further and invite the youngsters to watch the youngsters? Put out a squad of future stars i.e Finch, Jackson, H-P, Sakande, whittingham, Salt, Cammish, Garton, Haines? All these players play Saturday premier league and as such are known and looked up to by the young club players. It could be marketed as ' future stars ' and would be something for the younger club players to aspire to. Much easier to imagine yourself as a Sussex player if you see players turning out for the first team who are only a few years older than you are? |

Chris Jordan has another injury set-back. Typifies the Sussex season of the last two years. There is much to discuss about taking gambles on seamers who have been passed on by other counties as Robinson has discovered. When they 'really' come off eg. Magoffin, you are a hero, but when they don't, rather like buses, injury problems come in clusters. As the famous Napoleon Bonaparte quote goes: “I know he's a good general, but is he lucky?” www.theargus.co.uk/sport/13578443.Jordan_suffers_injury_setback/?ref=eb |
