Maiden century at no 9 for Ollie - gosh!
Maiden 50 for Matt - who knew he could bat!
Record 10th wicket partnership of 164.
Oh dear - Durham currently 84-0..
What a day!

What's going on with track and conditions? Did our batters just make a monumental balls-up of their job? Hobbo and Robbo getting a taste of their own medicine. But well done to them anyway. Strange old day. There was obviously something in the track as Durham put us in. The pictures on this thread show the wicket was very green. It has clearly flattened out and become easier for batting. |

What a day! And back to 89-1 as Robinson gets a maiden fc wicket. Great day for the Durhamites braving the cold - 420+ runs, 11 wickets, records tumbling. Pretty good for championship cricket too, showing there is life beyond the Test circuit. |

Well what a debut for the lad, whoever he is. I've just noticed a three page thread on the chap dating back to last summer so I'll give it a read. I missed the back end of the summer and much of the winter due to the great emu depression of 2014. For those of you concerned about shares, it's all good now. Funny old game Saint.

Looks like being an expensive jug for him tonight. Boo! I haven't seen the second XI scorecard and I took you to have meant that he took five in one innings. Five spread across two inninngs is workaday journeyman stuff. Young Robinson is clearly not as good as I thought he was. Send him back to Yorkshire or Kent or wherever it is!  |

Young Robinson is clearly not as good as I thought he was. Send him back to Yorkshire or Kent or wherever it is! Robinson has played second team cricket for six counties (Sussex, Yorkshire, Kent, Essex, Leicestershire and Hampshire), as well as List A for Yorkshire and Hampshire, T20 for Yorkshire and now championship cricket for Essex so clearly several coaches had a question mark over him. How Essex, Kent and Leicestershire reached the conclusion that he wasn't good enough for them is beyond me. |

Give it up, coverpoint. When he drops a clanger, tell us "I told you so". For now, just accept that he's done something rather special, and without him (and Matt Hobden) Sussex would be in a hole. |

Agreed Oliver's performance today was exceptional and certainly without him and Matt Hobden Sussex would be in trouble. |

Robinson has only really played limited overs cricket at a high level so do not have any great expectations on him in 4 day cricket.  |

What are we going to do with all these seam bowlers, when Anyon, Hatchett and Mills are fit and England - if Jonathan Agnew is right - jettison Jordan in favour of Plunklett or Wood?
That gives us in roughly what I guess is the pecking order:
Magoffin
Jordan
Shahzad
Mills
Hobden
Robinson
Anyon
Hatchett
Liddle
Piolet
Suddenly it's the batting - which looked so strong on paper during the winter - that now seems under-resourced, with RHB gone, Prior unlikely to play again, Yardy sidelined with implications one does not dare to speculate about, and Wells and Cachopa unable to buy a run.

It's not a sudden issue. Our batting has been an issue since Noah was a boy, and there are some who says it was problematic well before then. We have a coach who could teach a tortoise to swing it both ways but no equivalent to exploit the undoubted latent batting talent in our squad. |

I had to work yesterday afternoon. I saw we were 160-8 as I started and thought, oh well. Break time I thought dumbfounded, any Sussex fans who were lucky enough to have seen that will never forget this day. Just amazing!
Maybe early this morning, it might be a little dicey and we can set up another win, who knows, but the prime mover seems to have a Sussex beanie on his head atm.

It's not a sudden issue. Our batting has been an issue since Noah was a boy, and there are some who says it was problematic well before then. We have a coach who could teach a tortoise to swing it both ways but no equivalent to exploit the undoubted latent batting talent in our squad. Both posters make excellent points. With regard to the bowling it does look as if we have a lot of contenders, but then some of these will be specialising in one or other medium and some will be rested deliberately. For example, Robinson (M) has said that Mills will only play 8 or 9 red ball games this year and wants to use him in short bursts for white-ball games. Then we have to be realistic and consider how long it may be for Anyon to get back to fitness from his injury, and also to think of the explosion of activity in June : 4 Championship games, 5 T20s, at 7 different locations. That is where we really will need a flexible squad with lots of cover. Then there is the fact that Robinson (O) is still, notwithstanding 2 wickets yesterday, an unknown quantity for his bowling. What is his stamina like? Can he bowl on flatter wickets? Maybe we should also think about Magoffin, who is 35, has bowled whole-heartedly for us over 3 seasons, and perhaps we could give him a game off once in awhile? If we enter September with Jordan, Shahzad, Anyon and Hobden bowling that could mount a pretty effective late-season pace challenge. And Stonewall is quite right that we have lots of talent in batting that either boils up fitfully in surges of form and then subsides, or fails to meet the challenge. Now would be a very good time for us to recruit an experienced and imaginative batting coach, to help Wells fulfil his promise, bring on the likes of Finch and nurture the enormous talent of Ollie Robinson. Les Lenham has worked tirelessly for the club over many years but surely we need someone to do for the batting what Jon Lewis is clearly doing for the bowlers. That is how we will become not just a club that punches above its weight, but a club that rightfully takes its place as a top-quality, championship winning team. |
