I'm sure all the Sussex supporters who watched him walking back to the pavilion last season will be over the moon.

At least we don't have to worry about how he combines the responsibilities of captaincy with his batting form.

183 runs @18.3 from 11 innings, HS of 49 *
Take his only decent knock out of that and his average was 13.4.
Being an optimist I'll just say he's coming back with something to prove.

Well there isn't a big pool of sensible options to choose from l guess.

I was thinking the same myself, hopefully the captaincy will distract him from his batting.

But whatever happened to Ben Brown’s captaincy?
No explanation from the club…AGAIN!
As a Sussex fan, I’d rather have a local boy captaining my team rather than walking Aussie wicket who’s only here for pay cheque.

Decent form now
The 27-year-old is averaging nearly 55 after three matches of the Sheffield Shield first-class competition, with a top-score of 163 against Western Australia in the opening round.
In the Marsh Cup one-day competition, Travis is the leading run-scorer after making an incredible 230 from 127 balls in South Australia’s victory over Queensland last month.

Love the way people are criticising this decision because he spent most of the summer looking like he'd never used a bat before, like that somehow doesn't make him the ideal leader for this team
No one is challenging his form and runs in Australia. It’s red ball cricket at Hove in April, May, June and September where he’ll be judged by Sussex fans. I guess he wouldn’t be coming here if it wasn’t for the captain’s salary.
Wonder where Ben Brown will end up.
Could be worse. We could be Yorkshire!
