Can't remember a Sussex player doing it (although one might have done) but Derek Pringle missed a test match after being injured writing letters - not from the actual writing though, his chair collapsed. Hasn't stopped there being an urban myth about it

You could have Alan Wells as well - he moved to Kent. If you're looking for bowlers who moved there's Alan Jones, Adrian Jones, Billy Taylor, Danny Law to pick from

I agree. He was very unlucky not to be capped. I've often thought that the English players who hadn't been capped would make an interesting book. Sussex had another great opener - John Langridge - who didn't play for England. He scored 34,000 runs at an average of over 37, a great record for...

Wasted being the operative word :)

Don't think Speight really fulfilled his promise. He always looked good but an average of 31 didn't do justice to his talents. He was one of several players to depart in 1996 (along with Alan Wells, Giddins, Salisbury and Law). That ultimately had a positive effect as it led to the Night of the...

Like to see a day last 124 overs these days - it wouldn't finish until gone 9.00 And imagine scoring at under 3 over an over and winning ...

I was cheating a bit with Marlar as he only played one match in the time I've been watching Sussex (and I didn't see it) but I thought we needed another spinner. He was a decent player though, nearly 1,000 wickets at 25. Yes, I think any all-star Sussex side (unless it was heavily...

... as was Paul Parker, born in Rhodesia (as it then was) None of my 11 were born in Sussex - something I certainly wasn't planning How about a team of Sussex-born players from the last 50 years? M Buss Nash A Wells Parks N Lenham Oakman C Wells A Buss Kirtley Marlar Lewry

I don't think a team should contain more than one overseas player, it gives it an unreal look I'm sticking to players that I've seen (so no Tate, Fry, Ranji or Langridge who would all get in an all-time great team) Dexter Barclay (c) Goodwin Parker Suttle A Greig Reeve Prior Snow Mushy Thomson...
