Just joined Hampshire
Hope he makes it there, always thought there was a halfway decent cricketer there. Messed around a bit by Sussex - in and out of the side, shifted up and down the batting order - perhaps he'll find a bit of stability
Probably because he isn't quite good enough.
Watching him, technically he is sound. However I suspect he does not possess the mental toughness needed. Would explain his struggles trying to make it in 2 forms of professional sport.
I tick that... you're still young JoeYep. Good luck Joe.

I was speaking to a guy I play cricket with who used to play in the county premier league, where most of the teams have a Sussex player turning up when available. He said that, in terms of technique, Joe Gatting was the best player he ever came up against, obviously it was against a lower level of bowling but he could wilfully take teams apart. He's a very talented player who has just not had the consistency and games to prove his worth, good luck to him.
