Haines Orr Alsop Pujara Carter Clark FHP Garton Carson Finn Seales/Karvelas Garton batting above FHP for me, unfortunately I can’t see Finn being fit and I’m convinced we will sign a replacement for Seales

Hopefully now his step dad is the coach we won’t get any more of the nonsense we had last year of Ollie missing games because of a bit of tooth ache!

You'd be surprised, i'd understand if he was playing in a series leading up to the season and played white ball stuff too for England. As Tommy Robinson said on an earlier post, its highly likely Archer will be in the IPL but wouldn't be lovely seeing Archer and Robinson taking the new ball against Durham with Seales and Garton 1st and 2nd Change. Either way Farbrace has inherited a decent squad that unfortunately Salisbury couldn't get the best out of.

Salisbury and Kirtley showed themselves to be incompetent with their man management and selections. Unfortunately one of them is still in situ. Let's hope Farbrace sees through this at some stage.

Just seen a rumour that we are in advanced negotiations to sign Steve Smith for a 4 match CC stint before the ashes starts.
Certainly one to keep an eye on!

That's interesting lab1, he is a very good player. But I hope this is not true. We don't need him. There are good enough batters already. What message will it send to whoever is dropped? A bad one. Come on Sussex you are better than this. A 4 match CC stint would be appalling.

There's no negatives to this signing at all.

Very interesting, looks like some substance to it then. Also looks like the definite end for Seales. Pujara and Smith 4 and 5 for four matches cant be bad!

We have no competition for places whatsoever Agreed non of our batters can compete with Smith. But we do not need a 4 match superstar. I think there is good healthy competition amongst our batters in the squad. I would love to see Smith churn out some runs for Sussex, but it just doesn't feel right bearing in mind where Sussex are with their long term plan.Or has this been binned? We need a good overseas bowler for the season; Smith can go and get his practice for a big Div 1 Club.

Well, it certainly wouldn’t do the club any harm to win a few games of cricket early in the season. It’s been a while after all and getting a few wins would generate the kind of buzz that’s sorely needed.
