No super Sunday, but Sussex are still a contender to win the Championship

Defeat to Hampshire was disappointing, but four wins out of eight sets up the end-of-season run-in nicely and Paul Farbrace is right to be positive.

If there really is going to be a change at No 10 – and I’m not talking about the Sussex batting line-up – the new PM has got to consider Paul Farbrace for a cabinet position.

The man radiates an enthusiasm and positivity that puts some of the glum suits in Westminster to shame. And he knows all about spin too. That’s why he has one of the best coaching CVs in the domestic game.

Sussex’s defeat by 118 runs by neighbours Hampshire at Hove on Sunday was a big disappointment, especially in front of a decent crowd and with the result considered a 50-50 affair on the last day. Sussex were chasing 253 for their fifth win in eight games and looked favourites at lunch, when they were 64 for one.
