Sussex - Overseas Player

[Uncle Buck]

Just had a call from somebody and it seems that Goodwin will not be classed as an overseas player. He is signing under the Kolpack agreement.

This means there is the opportunity to bring in another overseas player. Any ideas on who?

I would like a middle order player in the mould of say Chanderpaul, who can stick around and let others play their shots.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Sweet as.

I think we should go after Nathan Astle.

 

[The Large One]

Word on the street is it could be Chris Gayle.

 

[Parson Henry]

I heard that it was some South African guy called Boetek Dipenaar. In fact I thought I heard it on here?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Dipenaar would be nice. Chris Gayle? Not so sure about him really.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I do think it needs to be a middle order player that can dig in. With Goodwin, Adams and Prior with have players that can score quickly, but yesterday it was apparent we did not have anyone that can stick around at the moment.

Our biggest problem is that Moores has been told to cut the wage bill for players so we can not afford the world stars that will help win more trophies. If however we were allowedd i would love to see Tendulkar play for us. Not only is he the best batsman in the world IMHO but him and Mushy bowling spin would destroy most teams.

Dipennar is what i heard a few weeks back, i would personally love it to be Chris Gayle though.

We'll get Crystal Gayle in for the 20/20s. He is arguably the best one-day batsman in the world at present.

He is the best in my opinion, and his bowling is shit hot too, he's just so cool aswell, bring in Chris Gayle!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Oh alright, Gayle it is then!!

 

[Uncle Buck]

However is Gayle the sort of overseas player they will go for? Current policy seems to be to get ones that are not playing international cricket, so we do not lose them. What is the Windies schedule next year?

Like I said, just for the 20/20s. The Windies can surely spare him for a few overs.

Fair enough, but that is a bit of a change of direction as they have generally like stability, hence players like Goodwin and Mushy who are there for the whole season.

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Nathan Astle - will never stay injury free enough for a county season. Can't see NZ allowing him to play anyway, they already hve enough injury worries. He would make a lot of runs though, and be quite a useful stock bowler.

 

[Kev the Ape]

i heard it was dippenaar, my godmother over heard a conversation saying it could be sourav ganguly. now that would be cool.

No way. Sussex is all about team spirit and Ganguly wants to be boss man. ...but he'd be a good call to replace Grizzly if he ever got fed up with test cricket.

Are we sure that Murray is qualified next season. I thought it was the season after that he becomes English, but then I can never keep up with the rules.

 

[The Large One]

Goodwin has definitely signed a new contract for next season. The rules change all the time.

Im sure I read that Murray could be signed under Kolpack, as many clubs were going to bid for him at the end of the season. (Recall reading this from Martin-jenkins' column in Argus few weeks back i think)

Would love to see these top names play for Sussex, however would pose a great problem when internationals came around.

Is Mushy classed as English?

Mushy's not English, but Akram is.

Many clubs could bid for Murray at the end of the season anyway, he only had a one-year contract.

TLO, has he definitely signed? But the latest I'd heard is that he was still considering ithe contract and, from what I heard at the club on Friday, is unlikely to.
