Hit 9 6s... Must be a powerful young man, left arm leg spinner which is a bit different. Saw he hit 100 v Surrey few weeks back also, maybe a chance in last couple of 50 over games for him or some 2s games this month?

Given our flaky middle order it could be worth giving him a go on Tuesday and Thursday at number 5. |

Clearly a talent; but has to perform in the 2s.

It's traditional to prove themselves in the 2s but Sussex seem to be bypassing this tradition! Maybe they have got good at identifying the talented youngsters or maybe they don't have any money and it has forced their hand. Personally I think players should earn their right to play pro cricket in the 2s and not be fast tracked unproven, not knowing how to deal with failure which is a major part of pro cricket...

Forced hand. Bit old for us ain't he? Get him in quick before his knees go.

I actually agree with you but there have been nine debuts in the 50 overs alone. |

Apparently they don't have the time or resources to develop his potential, you couldn't make it up! Hit first 100 for 2s averaging 30 in 2nd 11 championship which is decent and took 16 wickets when not bowled very much. Hope he comes back and haunts them after 9 years on pathway, not a good way to treat him. At least see how he develops at Loughborough Uni over next 2 years... |

Has Hinley been released? His photo has been removed from the squad listing but then so has Currie. Hinley finished second top wicket taker and third top run scorer in the 2XI championship. Therefore I can think of others who might have been in front of him in the queue to be released. Well done to Tear and Ibrahim for being top run scorer and wicket taker respectively. I feel as a left arm Chinaman he offers something different which the squad doesn't have. I also feel he could with the right support become a frontine batsmen and deveop over time in much the same way as Mike Yardy did. stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/averages/batting_bowling_by_team.html?id=14650;team=1424;type=tournament |

Look at Lenham, Crocombe, Atkins, Clarke and others. It seems to be more important to have an old Sussex player backing you and feeding those behind the scenes. And that is why Sussex need to appoint a new Head Coach who cannot be unfairly influenced; and get rid of Kirtley. |
