Possible New Signing For Sussex CCC?

[Trigger]

Surrey opener Ian Ward has announced his decision to leave the county at the end of the season.

Ward, who won five Test caps against Pakistan and Australia in 2001, believes a move will help him revive his England career.

Ward was left out of the Surrey side for today's National League encounter with Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens, where the Lions were hoping to secure the first division title.

Ward told Sky Sports: "Surrey and I have decided to part company.

"I am desperate to resurrect my England career. I feel a move away with new ideas and new drive is what I need."

Wouldn't mind signing him along with Kevin Pieterson...

 

[Dunkstar]

Good player he'd certainly be a 1st team regular!

Left handed top order batsman averaging over 40... Would be a fantastic signing.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Kevin Pieterson is not a player we want, looks like he will be fast tracked into the England set up and then he never plays for us. Ward however is unlikely to play for England again and so would be a good one to go after.

Ward would be a tremendous signing. I'm certain that Murray would be better dropping down the order to 3 or 4. Also he's a left hander!

PS Why is this not on the sussexccc site?

 

[Trigger]

We want Wardy we want Wardy!

Which is why we won't get him

Last Sussex batsman to play more than 4 Test Matches for England was...............

Cricket is cack!!!!!

It would be a real coup to to sign a proven performer like Ward.

He shot he scored
It must be Ian Ward
Ian Ward, Ian Ward

 

[Beeneys gloves]

He wants to captain a county side so unless Grizzly steps down Im not sure he'll be at Hove next season.

A quality player although I think his England time has passed him by now

 

[CHAPPERS]

He wants to captain a side though.

I'd love to get him, it would give our batting another solid runscorer in the line up.
