Perhaps J Newman and A Newman (Letters, July 20) would like to join the members of Lords as they seem very good at moaning without putting forward ideas to change the Sussex cricket team for the better.

I am a member who has never gone pink with embarrassment as regards the Sussex players. I am proud for every one of them to have represented my home county as I have been throughout the three years of mediocrity.

Maybe next time the wickets are falling at Hove J Wade and A Newman will show them how it is done.

If relegation does follow, one can only assume the previously-mentioned Argus readers will both be moving to Lancashire and Middlesex respectively to hide from their shame.
