COACH Mark Robinson says Sussex are in positive mood ahead of today’s crucial Championship clash against Worcestershire at Hove (11am).

The county’s only four-day win came against their bottom-of-the-table opponents back in June when Piyush Chawla’s century and eight wickets inspired them to a ten-wicket win.

Robinson said: “We’ve had a tough two weeks but there was a lot of relief in the dressing room on Saturday when when we were able to draw the game with Notts under pressure and Sunday’s Pro40 win gave us belief that we are doing the right things.

“At times you have to stay in a season but we are ready to go hard and take on Worcestershire.”

Robinson admits he shares the concern of supporters about the potency of his bowling attack but has faith in his seamers.

He added: “Around Horsham last week you could feel a sense of panic about our four-day form but we have to keep calm, give the players belief that if they can hang in there and they will get rewarded.”
