Another 48 pointer for Sussex. Will Joyce be fit to return? If so I would bring him in for Liddle who did little against Worcestershire.
My XI: Joyce (c), Wells, Machan, Nash, Yardy, Wright, Brown (+), Zaidi, Jordon, Robinson, Magoffin
Nine with championship hundreds this season. Brown (4) and Machan (3) have seven hundreds between them this season. Wright and Nash have two each. Joyce, Robinson, Wells, Yardy and Zaidi have one hundred each. Brown needs 50 and Machan 108 for 1,000 championship runs this season. Robinson needs four wickets for 50 championship wicket. Magoffin will be looking to add to his tally of 61 wickets.

Well I'd like to 'dislike' this post if I approved of the new feature, which like BM, I don't. Not prepared to go through a divorce over it though. CP you're as bad as Robbo and Joyce, or at least you will be if they abort our new winning balance and go back to the defensive negative crap you're putting forward. 48 pointer? Sounds like you're trying to make it a zero pointer. Hatchett for Liddle. |

I don't think our chances of winning would be reduced by playing Joyce instead of Liddle as Liddle took 1-55 against the worst team in the division. How to make up the fifteen overs of Liddle? Bowl Zaidi and Wells more. Some of the field settings by Nash were very innovative and hopefully something Joyce will take on board. But we didn't beat Worcestershire because Nash was captain or because we had five bowlers we beat them because they're rubbish.

Coverpoint if you think Worcester are "rubbish" (and I do not disagree, although they have plenty of spirit) then wait until you see Somerset! I saw them capitulate in just over two days last week. The faults are too numerous to list but who ever heard of signing an overseas wicket keeper(Ronchi) to save your season?

One thing I would not question as far as Worcestershire are concerned are their spirit. Somerset signed an overseas wicketkeeper because neither Barrow, who is supposed to be a specialist batsman, or Bates could score any runs although they could have given Regan who averaged 40 last season for the seconds an opportunity instead. |

I think you underestimate the physical importance of 4/5 bowlers over 3/4. More often than not Wells and Zaidi will be found out, especially 1st innings, and pulled off for bowling like the part timers that they are. The three main chaps will then be over bowled and probably not as effective. We've being doing it all season and not won a game, we change at last, and win - stick with it. What's that old saying? Don't change a winning rocket science. Something like that. |

Don't change a winning rocket science. Something like that. The problem with five bowlers, or six if you include Wells, is that one ends up bowling very little. Liddle only bowled 15 overs against Worcestershire. As I said before we beat Worcestershire because they're absolute rubbish not because we played five bowlers. Who is more likely to score runs and take wickets out of Wells, Liddle and Hatchett? Wells has 602 runs and 23 wickets. What about Hatchett and Liddle? |

Hatchett has no runs and no wickets.
So Liddle only bowled 15 overs in the match, there were better options in the second innings. Robinson only bowled 19 in the match. Mags only 14 in the second innings. That's the beauty of it mate, if one ends up bowling very little you are doing well. If you're not doing well at least you're not shagging everyone out for the next dig and beyond - bigger picture.
I suspect out of fear of losing the selectors will go your way.

Yes let's hope so. I have the rare luxury of an extended stay, and have booked in for the final three days. If it has to be rained off, then let's hope it keeps raining all through the following week as well |

Wells Nash Machan Wright (c) Yardy Brown (+) Jordan Zaidi Robinson Hatchett Magoffin The Sussex website has a different spin: " Ed Joyce looks set to return to captain the side after missing the Worcestershire match with a back problem, but all-rounder Ollie Robinson is a serious doubt due to sore shins." With the squad shown as BC Brown (wkt) LJ Hatchett CJ Jordan EC Joyce (c) CJ Liddle MW Machan SJ Magoffin CD Nash OE Robinson LWP Wells LJ Wright MH Yardy SAA Zaidi www.sussexcricket.co.uk/news-1/preview-sussex-set-for-final-home-action-of-2015It is probably academic because of the weather ( I know, fraudster, there are no certainties except for death and taxes but there has to be a very high likelihood of persistent precipitation on your emu farm in the next four days) but the team they probably imply is something like : Wells, Joyce, Machan, Nash, Wright, Yardy, Brown, Zaidi, Jordan, Magoffin, Hatchett. |
