v Worcestershire (A) Thu 21 to Sun 24 April CC

Sports about sticking with your team through thick and thin, you can only truly appreciate success once you've experienced the real harrowing lows.

So referencing Burgess and Brown in the same context doesn't make sense. Burgess wanted to keep and so did Brown, one of them had to go. Which would you have rather have left?

Give it a rest Andy. You’d have to be mad to think that getting stuffed all the time is progress and part of “the process”.

Or alternatively, just stop your wind-up.

Turn it in John, I remember 1997 where I used to worship amir Khan because he bowled leg spin and played for us. I will support this team win lose or draw.

You are entitled to be annoyed but when a lot of what you say and think comes from no truth I think it's fair to correct.

No wind up at all.

You dont like me never have and that's fine but at least I've I've been true to myself and don't follow the crowd

They look like poor decisions but contracts were offered to ALL of those players except Wells. We are hamstrung by budgets.

Things are getting pretty desperate. Our chances of putting out a competitive team are looking like slim to none..
As for the reallab1’s comment regarding contracts being offered to all the players who’ve left except Wells, has it not occurred to him that players have been alienated by the changing nature and culture of the club and the lack of value placed on experience. What we wouldn’t give to still have even two our three of the players who have voted with their feet in the past two seasons. If you make judgments about players such as “not really a red ball player” (eg Briggs), no wonder he wants to leave. And lo and behold, he’s now very much a red ball player at a Div 1 team that are doing well. And if you take away the gloves from a player like Ben Brown, and he’s now welcomed with open arms as keeper by our Div 1 neighbours (and scoring big runs for fun!), you have to reach a conclusion as to whose judgment is the more sound. And when I last looked the Sussex reject Wells has settled in very well at his Div 1 home and Salt is keeping wicket and playing an important role in red ball cricket for the same county. You ask us to have faith in the current set-up, but on the basis of much of the flawed decision making that is asking the impossible. Never in the history of the club have we been left with such a threadbare bowling attack.
