As far as I know Evans, Briggs, Wells, Claydon, Finch, Haines, Sheffield and Clark are all out of contract in November.
I would say Finch and Haines were the most vulnerable of those.

If Brighton FC can attract Adam Lallana to their ranks, surely, Sussex can find a top-class opener.
Finch has a lot to prove as does Haines, but a primary concern, surely, is Wells whose form has fallen off a cliff since Gillespie arrived. Sometimes, when a player moves on to another county he rediscovers his abilities. Having the presence of your father and uncle hovering over you at the club cannot help matters.
What has happened to Luke's brother Daniel? Isn't he another Wells cricketer and made his first-class debut in 2017 for Oxford MCCU against Surrey?

Further talk, this time from Captain Ben Brown, about the concerns of some Sussex players and their future club contracts.

Makes Steve Smith's ballet moves insipid. This one has "attitude!"

I am delighted to see the Club have resolved their live streaming difficulties. It was a little embarrassing for the media office during the Hampshire friendly and I felt sorry for the match commentator Adrian Harms.
If only, the Club could offer more than one camera vantage point though, as presently the coverage is static and one-dimensional. Surely, given the Bob Willis Trophy matches will be played behind closed doors, offering supporters the best visual experience possible is essential.
While I appreciate finances are a problem, the ECB should collaborate with SKY, so that all county games are presented in a similar professional way to how the sports company cover their live matches. This is an exceptional and one-off cricket season.

The cricketing "man of the moment", does he gain as much kudos as he deserves? History, I am sure, will elevate Broad to God status and wonderful moments like the one below will keep reminding cricket followers that he is not only exceptional, but a true great. We must fully treasure him now until he retires.

This is an exceptional and one-off cricket season. Unrealistic, I'm afraid. The cost of televising a match to Sky's standards is enormous, and only makes sense if Sky judge that those costs can be recouped by broadcasting the matches. As you say yourself, "finances are a problem". Have you noticed that some cricket fans are not really aware of the way their sport is financed. The recent relaxation of the Covid restrictions has unleashed a tsunami of wishful thinking and heightened expectations. We are living in a new world, and it won't be going away soon. I think the single camera TV is far better than nothing, and we should be grateful for it. Admittedly, it palls after a while - especially when the Dulux Brilliant White is reaching an interesting stage in its drying process.

The greatest bowling feat in Test cricket and one we will never see again.

A good point, but if some imagination ensued and where costs were brought down to a minimum, it is still feasible imho. Take Sussex CCC : The Club already has an experienced and top class commentator in Adrian Harms. : Hire two mobile camera operators to be employed around the ground during a match to offer different perspectives of the game alongside the present static camera. : Couple this with hiring a basic editing suite which one of the Club's media staff could learn how to use. : At the end of each match day, Harms carries out an interview/s with the best performing cricketer/s alongside one of the hired mobile camera operators. All these easy to implement 'extras' will bring a vast improvement to the overall visual internet viewing enjoyment. There may even be a Sussex supporter who is an experienced camera operator who could help out for little charge. As to the cost, I have no idea, but I am sure the ECB or even the Club could afford it (£500 a day or £2,000 for the four days?) Here is a link to a Brighton camera crew hire team, for example. can-b.co.uk/brighton-cameramanFor goodness sake, there is even one local operator called Matt Prior! www.mattprior.tv/eventsAs for the T20 games, much much cheaper, given the match only lasts for three hours or so. In fact, there is absolutely no excuse not to carry this out during the Blast as the money the Club has already accrued from the Blast passes will cover the costs. Rob Andrew needs to get together with the Club media staff and work it all out. Here is an opportunity for County cricket to really 'up their game' Re: televising their own home matches via the internet. Surely, the days of a one-dimensional static camera are over?

I don’t think we can still call Harry Finch a ‘youngster’!
