Sussex coach Mark Robinson

      
  Robinson told BBC Sussex: To get in a position where we had a sniff of winning was a great effort. We surprised ourselves and a few others.I don't see any reason why we can't do well. We have got a good balance and it's just a matter of performing.Robinson added: "When one player steps away, it's up to others to step up and fill their shoes.That gives us real belief that if we stay very humble and work really hard, which will be the key thing, we can continue to surprise a few people.But with England spinner Graeme Swann stepping up his comeback following an elbow injury, Panesar could be heavily involved for the national side in the Ashes series against Australia this summer.He added: "We obviously have to do certain things a bit better.Jimmy Anyon has got 100 wickets over the last two years, which is a phenomenal effort, but he would be the first to say he has probably leaked a few too many runs.This is their time now and we have got a really hungry bunch of players ready to play and perform. We'll do it bit by bit and see where the season takes us, but there is a good feel at the moment.Sometimes, how we play on flat wickets needs to change. The batting unit need to be a bit more ruthless and, from a bowling point of view, less reliant on Steve Magoffin and Monty Panesar.
