New fast bowler

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

LIDDLE JOINS SUSSEX
County champions Sussex have signed left-arm seamer Chris Liddle.
The 22-year-old, who made his county debut for Leicestershire last year, has
signed a two-year deal with this season's double winners.
Cricket manager Mark Robinson said: "Chris has the potential to bowl a very
lively ball and, with his natural left-arm variation, should prove an attractive
asset to the squad and as a person should fit well into our family
atmosphere."
Liddle added: "It's a privilege to join the best club in county cricket,
they've had a marvellous season with winning both the C&G Trophy and the
Liverpool Victoria County Championship.
"I can't wait to get down to Hove and to impress."

Brilliant innit?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

To replace whom?

Noone as yet, I would imagine. Lewry will need some backup as he is 37 next year(?).

Why did he leave Leics?

 

[CHAPPERS]

To replace whom?

Turk, Heather and Linley have been released.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Turk, Heather and Linley have been released.

Also Lewry, Kirtley and RMJ are all the wrong side of 30 now so maybe a touch of long term planning going on.

 

[The Large One]

Lewry will be 36 next year
Adams will be 37
Mushy will be 37
Goodwin will be 35
Montgomerie will be 36
Kirtley will be 32
RMJ will be 32

It always makes me smile when, as part of a cricket player's biography, they list where they were educated. Dogs sniff each other's bottoms, Englishman ask where you went to school. Bizarre.

Reading Liddle's biog there reminds me of the story that Sussex CCC happily regale anyone who wants to know about Murray Goodwin's awesome record-breaking unbeaten knock of 335* against Leicestershire in 2003. During this innings, he only offered one chance, and was dropped on 304. The bowler? Step forward, one Luke Wright.

Very good signing, we definitely needed some replacement for Lewry if he does get injured next season.
