A development Re: the county players 'furlough'. For example: ...those who are to be furloughed have been advised that they must not have formal contact with club officials during the time they are placed on the government programme. It is also understood that players have been given three-week training briefs, and will be required to keep themselves in peak physical condition at home.
So, not just muscular thumbs then. www.thecricketer.com/Topics/news/county_cricket_furlough_pca_agreement_coronavirus.html

I understand Bob Warren has been phoning the over 70’s members to make sure they are ok ?

Not just our Club Chairman, but now our CEO is doing his bit. Very pleased to see Sussex CCC are now interacting with their community during the Coronavirus pandemic. Via a 'Video Call', after a brief resume of the Club situation, Rob holds an informative thirty minute Q&A with the media. Some excellent questions asked.
Meanwhile, the Club players and even Jason Gillespie are now "on furlough".

As Eastbourne College is not a state school, it's quite likely his home isn't in Sussex.

dfl, Fair comment. Below is some further information. He attends Eastbourne College via a sports scholarship. Muyeye has family in the UK and hopes to qualify for England rather than his native Zimbabwe.
He sounds a little similar to Delray Rawlins. This is promising news. But it is the reliability of his fast, wristy run-scoring that has given Sussex cause to be interested in his development, and makes him such an exciting prospect.www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/sport/cricket/who-eastbourne-pupil-named-wisden-schools-cricketer-year-2019-2532824 Meanwhile, here are the answers to those museum quiz questions from earlier in the week (bottom right).

That's very nostalgic. We used to use the bottom part of a lamp-post as our wicket.

To date we've had a plastic dustbin, lamppost, mouldy old loaf of bread and now a cardboard box for stumps/wicket. Anymore takers? Here are some more: A dustbin lid and top of wooden crate box with a BIG ship as the sight screen!
