Sad news. I would have thought Matt Prior would have bragging rights to best all time Sx Wk/Bat. JP was oldest living international cricketer and only one to have reached 90. That accolade is now probably held by MJK Smith who may also hold a unique double of being oldest living England international rugby union player! Robin Marlar 91 not out, Sussex's most enduring player? |

In my early years watching Sussex at Hove my heroes were Jim Parks and Ted Dexter, who so often had partnerships together, scored at quite a rate. Jim was a brilliant batsman and a very decent wicketkeeper, the prototype of the modern one-day player - he would certainly have scored a ton of runs in the short form of the game as it's played today. I was so pleased for him when got selected to play as a wicketkeeper-batsman for England. Truly one of the Sussex greats.
