Sussex seal win to guarantee survival

3:00pm Saturday 10th September 2011 in Cricket News By Steve Hollis

Sussex will be playing division one cricket in the County Championship next season after beating fellow strugglers Worcestershire at New Road.

James Anyon took 4-55 and Amjad Khan 3-43 as Worcestershire were bowled out for 169 on the final day to seal a 225-run victory.

Sussex declared on their overnight total of 267-4 with Joe Gatting finishing unbeaten on 116.

They made regular inroads into the Worcestershire batting with only opener Daryl Mitchell offering much resistance with a stubborn 61.

Anyon eventually removed him and the Pears went on to lose their last four wickets for just 17 runs, with Chris Nash taking 2-20 and Monty Panesar 1-23.

The victory means Sussex are assured of staying up ahead of their final match at Trent Bridge, which starts on Monday.

Well done to Mark and the boys on a job well done. Great batting on the first day was key.
As the season drifts to a close the County Ground faithful can reflect on a rich season which just ran out of steam in the final furlong.
Playing Div 1 cricket in 2012 could well be the cornerstone of a drive towards further trophies.

Congrats to Joe on his maiden ton!!!

Well done, lets hope we have learned a lot from this season and continue to progress in 2012.

We may need a few "in and outs" with the players after some of the displays this season but let's savour the moment for now.

Back to winning ways in a very impressive manner. Considering that Sussex are a team in transition it's been an outstanding effort to be competitive in all three competitions. It's also been satisfying to see the way Robbo has carefully nurtured the progress of Wells, Brown, Gatting and Adkin. Hopefully also youngsters like Beer, Hatchett, Wernars and Machan can show they are good enough to force their way into the first team next season. The future's bright.
