We need 3 solid batsmen. Massive season for us next year - we've punched above our weight in the last 20 years but it finally feels like we're joining the likes of Leics, Derbys, Gloucs, Northants and Glamorgan as permanent non-entities.
That's a collapse of 86-8.
We've known all season that our batting isn't good enough for Div 2, let alone Div 1.
In addition, I fully expect Jimmy to retire sometime soon at that will mean Archer will be centrally contracted and hardly feature in the 2020 County season.
I just hope Dominic...
But Gloucestershire are playing Northants in their final game so one of them is going to drop points. As Gloucs are further ahead than Northants we'll clearly want them to win.
Why am I saying this? Our season will be mathematically over in a few hours. :(
That has to be one of the worst days for Sussex in a 4-day match in living memory. 7 wickets lost in a trice, then Derbys go one day mode and blitz 350 runs. Questions have to be asked here, some senior players appear to be mailing it in.
