If I was CE at end of relegation season and wanted to make my life more comfortable, with no chance of any confrontation for following season. I don't think I could have done a better job with changes that have been made. Hence my job is even safer now.

If cricket clubs were pop groups -
Yorks would be the Beatles (sorry, Lancs, you're only the Swinging Blue Jeans)
Surrey would be U2
Essex would be Sham 69
Kent would be Freddie & The Dreamers (with Rick Astley substituting as lead singer after poor old Freddie Garrity died and the Sugar Babes singing backing vocals)
...and Sussex would be the Osmonds.
No wonder Robinson got so darned sick of the family mentality that he effed off to manage the Spice Girls!

Joking aside, it does rather sum up the difference between the professionals and the parochials. Sussex play wretched cricket, get relegated and rearrange the deckchairs on the sinking tugboat, advertising the DoC's job only in the staff newsletter. Surrey play scintillating cricket, get promoted and launch a high profile international recruitment search. Puppy Love versus I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For... |

Is this the week when we learn who the new Sussex CCC batting coach is? We've been told it will be someone from outside
the club which is promising; but apart from Chris Adams who else is there available of a high enough standard?
My guess and a wild punt? A former recently retired International batsman looking to break in to coaching.

I have this horrible feeling that there will be a dual announcement: that Ed Joyce has decided to retire from first class cricket, but that he will become batting coach "consultant". |

It will probably be Les Lenham.

Bm, Surely, Ted Dexter? They can fly him over from the South of France at weekends. And with the nearby attractions of the Brighton racecourse and East Brighton golf course, Lord Ted would settle in well.  |

Drawback is he's got more bonkers theories and mad hunches than Robinson had... Plus with his propensity for getting names the wrong way round he'd send Joyce off to play for the women's team and he'd think Wright and Wells are brothers and there would be no end of trouble when he got them mixed up and made Wells Luke captain. |

Bm, Re: Malcolm Devon, Ted would be telling a Press Conference before an important Championship game that Taylor Ross and Garton George are fairing well with the bat and then Sussex supporters would nickname him Ted Lord and the Derbyshire cycle returns. Ah, they don't make 'em like they used to.  "'ere, Ted, it's between you and I for the batting coach, Snowy's been given
the bowling job and that bloke in green has been offered the fielding post." |

Rogers has moved on to Somerset where he captains the championship side. |

Maybe it will be difficult to make an appointment until/unless one of the current players retires?
Seriously though, has the batting coach post been advertised to the outside world?

Yes indeed, they are to be responsible for".. producing an ongoing pipeline..." and "..developing skills within the batting pathway". Sounds like a good job for someone who's been involved in tarmacing or drain-laying. |
