Bangladesh Cricket Board will be made aware that refusal could jeopardise clubs signing their players If that is what Sussex is telling the BCB, then I have to say I think that such threats are likely to prove counter-productive. Fiz is a vulnerable young kid with a special talent who finds himself in a unique situation at what could be a critical moment in determining whether he will go on to enjoy a long career or will burn out. Putting aside Sussex's understandable desire to realise what was a bold and imaginative coup when they secured his signature, if the boy doesn't want to come to England that should have no implications for any other Bangladeshi cricketer and it is not Sussex's place to threaten the BCB that it will. Its a one-off situation. If, as you suggest, the ECB takes it up with the BCB and wants to try throwing its weight around, that's a different matter. But all Sussex should be doing is dangling carrots (lodging him with a Bangla family etc obviously is an excellent idea) not waving a (non-existent) stick.

Getting pretty fed up with this now. Hopefully we can keep Wiese until he has to fly to the Caribbean in July, but in the meantime, let's look for someone who's available to play in all formats, until the season's close

I wonder if this will become our longest thread for a player who never played for Sussex? Just a pair of initials and 323 posts to go ...

A lesson in how to choreograph a forthcoming breach of contract. "We need to drip feed the news" said the PR advisor.
Yawn, yawn,yawn . . .

If he doesn't come it will not be a breach of contract, though. The contract is and always was "subject to the issuing of a NOC (No Objection Ceertificate) by the Bangladesh Cricket Board" - so the BCB's power of veto is written into the terms and conditions, hence no breach.

OK, thanks for that, BM.

I've said Sussex should pull the plug on this since before he was delayed but, if we get the balance right, an attack of Mills, Shahzad, Jordan, Fizz and Beer is frightening frankly - one literally frightening, another literally baffling, then the over-rated but good skills of Jordan, and Shahzad and Beer who are also good. I like Jordan but he bowled a lot of full toss filth at the IPL and his stats in this form don't make impressive reading - 32 at 9 an over. I've had enough of people saying he has all-round potential because he certainly don't. He's a good bowler and he can waive a bat around a bit - an eight at best.
So Fizz, I'd like Sussex to be smart and rather than using threats go to Fizz and Bangladesh and offer them the chance to come to Sussex half way through the comp, beginning of July or so. Keep the impressive Wiese on for half the games then replace him with Fizz after he's had a month's rest, simple. Get a definitive answer on that asap though.
I think our attack would be the best in the comp with a happy healthy Fizz in it, if it ain't already. Be smart Sussex.

Even without a definitive answer, we could cover ourselves by lining up someone else. I wouldn't have thought we'd have used Fizz as overseas for the second half of the season anyway

It was good to see Shahzad fired up, but I expect the fifth slot will be taken by Briggs. I am assuming there will be no sixth slot. I like the idea of extending Wiese's deal and telling Fizz he CANT play until we are ready for him. He's got enough variations with all these slower balls without adding a p***ball.

All gone v quiet.
If he's going to make his Sussex debut v Kent as was promised, he will need to be on a flight out of Dacca tomorrow night, landing at Heathrow on Wed, with a day's acclimatisation on Thurs prior to bowling four match-winning overs on Friday...
Not going to happen, is it?
In the absence of any announcement to the contrary and having played the two games for which he was contracted, David Wiese is presumably now back in South Africa...
