I still maintain to this day that there are two Travis Heads and we signed the wrong one. The difference between what he did for Sussex in the CC and what he did for Australia in the International arena are just too great to be explained away by saying 'he found a bit of form'.If he's anything like the last (but one) Australian clown, he'll have a summer like that for Sussex, then get picked for the Ashes and suddenly become a f***ing run machine

He's the Aussie vice captain now as well. Though that means he's just weeks away from being sacked for cheating or flashing his knob based on his predecessors

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce the appointment of Pete Fitzboydon as Chief Executive.
The decision to appoint Pete as Chief Executive followed an extensive and rigorous recruitment process and will see him take over the role from 11th March 2024.
Pete Fitzboydon is a former Chief Executive of London Sport who also led both Badminton England and Cycling UK as CEO and brings experience of driving improvement of governance standards within professional rugby through a consultancy role at the Rugby Football Union.
More recently, he served as Interim Chief Executive of Cricket Scotland, overseeing the Scotland Men’s team who qualified for this year’s ICC T20 World Cup.
Speaking on the new appointment, Sussex Chair, Jon Filby, said: “I am delighted that we have been able to appoint Pete Fitzboydon as the Chief Executive of Sussex Cricket.
“Pete joins us at an exciting time, as we seek to return our men’s professional team to the first division of the County Championship, to develop a women’s professional team, to continuing growing the game in all forms across the county and to continue developing The 1st Central County Ground at Hove.
“The Board and I are very much looking forward to working with Pete, whose broad experience of leadership in sport and passion for cricket, kindled by being a frequent visitor to Hove in years gone by, make him the ideal person to lead us through the years ahead.”
Commenting on his new permanent role, Pete Fitzboydon, said: “It is truly an honour to be joining Sussex Cricket as CEO at such an important time.
“Sussex Cricket is an exceptional organisation with a rich heritage. There are so many exciting opportunities ahead for Sussex Cricket, not least developing the women’s game and helping the sport to widen its appeal to all communities.
“I look forward to adding my experience to the leadership team to help Sussex Cricket to fulfil its potential in all areas, from the sport’s grassroots right up to the top echelons of the game.”

July and August 2023 home fixtures.
1 T20, 1 County Championship and 4 one day cup games.
Got lucky with the weather and all fixtures went ahead but it's always going to be an uphill struggle generating revenue as a cricket club if you don't play much cricket during the summer.
This season in July and August there's 4 T20s, 4 one day cup and a CC game starting on Aug 29th.
