And that there are not a great deal of brains out on the field. Why leave the partnership breaker / pie chucker on for another over, when Irvine had been dismissed in the last over?

As has been shown all season, Sussex have an agreement that once we get the opposition 7 down we stop trying.
And he's STILL bowling.

I suspect the pitch is taking spin, so as Wells is the spinner, Joyce thought give him another over.
There are a number of things not correct at the moment. The batsmen try and score too quickly, hence the collapses. The quicks cannot stay fit and there is no spinner.
Now Maggs will be English soon, so hopefully Simon Harmer will be signed as the overseas player for the rest of the season.

I strongly prefer the 8 year old "joke" to your tediously repeated assertions that the coaching staff at Sussex CCC is in some way substandard despite all evidence to the contrary over the past ten years. e.g Who do you think helped Will Beer transform his T20 batting capabilities over the last three years or so? Or got someone like Matt Hobden to the point where he could make a first class 50? And don't come back at me about Beer's bowling not kicking on as hoped - that is incredibly common in young spinners and has got nothing to do with an absence of high quality coaching at Sussex.
Our batters have had to play on mainly poor pitches this year where a positive approach is generally regarded as sensible. The likes of Wells, Yardy, Joyce, Cachopa, Wright and Brown are entirely capable of batting to suit conditions and formats. Nash and Machan live by the sword and that is also OK.
Yes, we aren't winning trophies but then who is outside of the International grounds circuit...?
So easy to be negative but so far from the truth.

and at some stage 117-6 when Luke Wright is out for a brisk 27.
Wells 4 overs for 35.
Hundred partnership up.

We have injury's to our front line bowlers, Hobden and HP would be back up but are playing key roles.
If we can get two or three batsman firing here in the second innings, we still have a chance as both sides look vulnerable. I cannot remember the last time we had so many injury's.

My criticism of the coaching is regarding the batting not the bowling.
Sussex have a happy habit of taking slightly damaged bowlers (Jordan, Shazad, Anyon, Monty etc) and sorting them out,
However the bulk of the current coaching staff (Robinson, Davies and Lewis) were all bowlers and I would suggest our questionable batting techniques are reflected in this. Too often yesterday and I am told at Nottingham, our batsmen got themselves out, rather than the bowling doing them. As the score is now showing, this pitch is not full of demons, Hampshire have a lead.
So you can have a go at me for being negative, but in the last few seasons, too often in games we have not scored the runs, this season we only have 11 batting points. Yet we have a top 6 in this game, that have all played international cricket to some level, yet they cannot get the scores.
The Hove wicket was bad for the 2 previous games, but not this one. The coaching being offered to the batsmen is not bringing the desired results.

Record partnership
Ton up for the number 8
70 for the number 9, as he deposits it onto the pavilion roof
Devastating partnership of Wells and Nash in harness.

Who is the Aussie player in the commentary box now, says he is good mates with Ben Brown - plays for the Brisbane heat, and contracted to Western Australia?

Very handy thanks, we have another wicket
Wicket is okay but I can't see us having the discipline to score 400 second innings to try and win this game

I hope you are wrong, but if we repeat what we did yesterday, that could well be the case.
However that might be seem as critical and negative, so sorry...
