You are dead right M'Lud, even though it's only been 5 years.

And the last spinner to take 100 wickets in a season was Northamptonshire's Anil Kumble, back in 1995.

SHABASH

 

[Everest]

When is the official NSC gathering at the County Ground to cheer on the champs? Friday?

 

[CHAPPERS]

I can't make friday until after work so i'm hopefully getting there on saturday if the game is still going on.

I thought Caddick was the last player to take 100 back in 1998?

[Lord Bracknell]

I thought Caddick was the last player to take 100 back in 1998?

Yes.

Kumble was the last spinner.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Whoops, misraed Everests post.

Silly boy Chappers

 

[Lord Bracknell]

And Tony Buss was the last Sussex bowler to take 100 in a season (1967)

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Does anyone remember the door at the County Ground that used to have written on it:-

A Buss
