The ECB seem confident. He is coaching the England Lions on their tour.

Argus reporting that Robinson is going to apply for an England role at the end of this week. Would be hard to replace, do you think we could get Andy Flower or Grizzy may be waiting in the wings.

Sussex coach Mark Robinson has stated his intention to apply for the job of England’s technical director.
Robinson has sounded out officials at the ECB over becoming Andy Flower’s replacement and has been told it is worth his while putting his name forward.

I heard Chris Adams talking about KP and coaching, he said that KP was always very helpful and committed when he was at Surrey and the interviewer asked him about Peter Moores. I thought that he and Moores had a bit of a bust up at one point but Adams was glowing in his praise of Moores and said he would deserve another crack at England.

£15,000 - small change for Horsham District Council - I have already emailed the HDC Cabinet Member for Arts, Heritage & Leisure about this.

I love the Horsham festival, would be a massive shame if it went by the wayside. Seen some great cricket there.

For what it brings into the area as well. Beers in the town, picnics bought in the shops, car parking revenue from the roads around the ground. Got to be worth the investment

This is terrible news, they should at least guarantee a one day and 20/20 game to keep the connection going while sponsors are sought.
Its states 4000 at Horsham v Kent last year, this must make the one day viable whatever happens.

It is SUSSEX County Cricket Club, it should be encouraging cricket across the County, not to mention that it is a lovely venue and Sussex usually do well there.
Once County Out Grounds go they don't come back (Eastbourne and Worthing come to mind).
My reply from the HDC Cabinet Member seems to indicate that there is some brinksmanship going on.....
We have had meetings and were aware of some challenges for the cricket festival and are supporting the festival in many ways as well as the issue of sponsorship. They have only just gone public on this and I was surprised by some of the Counties statement! The sponsorship packages are very modest and I would be disappointed that the strong cricket fan base could not support it. However I think you should also ask some questions about the finances at SCCC as well.

its not the most difficult journey going - Brighton to Horsham by train or car

So there's no need to move from Brighton is there? Unless the journey is longer going the other way.
My point wasn't even meant seriously, it just appears that for the last few years due to the arsing around with 20/20 games there is about on Saturday when it's sunny and we have a home fixture and it's always the Horsham match.
