It is sad how the local newspaper - the once great Evening Argus of old selling over 100,000 copies per day - has now become so irrelevant to the local sporting community. Sussex CCC have a replacement for their former news partner. Welcome the Chichester Observer under the guise of Sussex Newspapers.
At least, the Argus can criticise the Club without fear of recrimination, whereas the Observer will play the subservient servant with only positive spin and news.
Having said that, David Wiese deserves all the praise he can muster. He has been outstanding this season. Let us hope his form continues during the T20 tournament.

A reminder that Channel 4 are showing the World Cup highlights. Not long to go now. Just two weeks. Can't wait.

If Sussex reach Finals Day two years in a row, prepare yourself to pay £15 to watch it live on TV in the Boundary Rooms. Getting a ticket at Edgbaston this time may be nigh impossible. 100 tickets each only allocated to the four teams? Box office open for five minutes? Who knows? This story has just emerged. The ECB in their kindness and wisdom have increased the 500 ticket allocation for each Finals Day teams' supporters to a massive 750. Box office open 25 minutes then? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/48296140

It seems that Sussex’s latest loan signing Warner from Yorks , is very strange. Another seam bowler, when everyone can see the weakness is in the batting.

The weakness may be in the batting but the injuries and absentees are in the bowling. That’s true Joe, but we currently have 8 bowlers available, whereas we only have 7 batsmen. In truth, neither situation is satisfactory, but the lack of depth, and quality, in the batting is obvious. At least in the bowling department, we do have Robinson, Garton, and potentially Archer, to return. Failure to adequately recruit, not just this season, but over the last few years, is reason we’re languishing amongst the also rans

Poor old Monty. He remains lost, confused and befuddled. How much sympathy should be bestowed upon him?

Poor old Monty. He remains lost, confused and befuddled. How much sympathy should be bestowed upon him? I would suggest quite a lot of sympathy - his career has been shortened by mental illness which he clearly suffered with for some time before going 'public'. I think a return to the firstclass game is unlikely, but hopefully he can find a role as a bowling coach or similar.

Only proves what a really tough Southern League Sussex were subjected to, yet even so, almost won the match of the tournament against Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl.

You don't half say some odd things S&F - is there a reason Panesar shouldn't have much sympathy that I don't know of? Seriously, cos I'm not sure. Your post suggests he did. (There is).
