Arafat to return as overseas player for 2010

[In The Rough]

Chawla has just signed for Surrey according to bbc sport.

Would have liked a quick as a replacement for Lewry

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Mendoza,has made a some very good points,Lets give Will Beer a decent run and unless Hove can be made into a 'Home' seamers wicket then maybe we need to look at spin ? Monty no,Get Hove as it was a seamers wicket then go for Brett Lee.

 

[Scotty Mac]

if we sign panesar they can f***ing shove my membership

 

[medicine man]

Did I understand right that Delia is no longer KOLPAK and will return to The West Indies, and concentrate on getting in the squad there?
I also agree WAT and Ollie should be given a chance, and we are a seamer or two short.

 

[keaton]

So we've lost Chawla to a major rival and signed up the impotent Arafat again. GREAT work boys. Not. We're f***ing lucky it's not possible to get relegated again.

I'd hardly call him impotent, he was our best bowler in the FPT, Pro40 and 20/20 and a major part of one-day success

 

[Perry Milkins]

We are trying to sign Hoggy!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Sounds like Robbo is giving it the hard sell

Sussex in for Hoggard From The Argus)

 

[Mendoza]

Hoggy would tear the 2nd division apart if he decided thats what he wants to do. We seem to be one day specialists though, is that his game?

He is a lot like Corey (but better), so would be great addition, we need pace and we saw the damage he did at Hove when Yorkshire came down

 

[keaton]

Yeah, Hoggard would be blinding

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hoggard, Collymore, Arafat SHOULD be enough to get us out of Div 2.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Hoggard, Collymore, Arafat SHOULD be enough to get us out of Div 2.

Can Collymore still play for us?

 

[keaton]

Can Collymore still play for us?

Yes, he and Goodwin are both still Kolpaks

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yes, yes he can.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Yes, he and Goodwin are both still Kolpaks

Good stuff, thanks for the quick answer!

Next question, if Colly is a Kolpak why isn't super Dwayne?

 

[Mendoza]

Good stuff, thanks for the quick answer!

Next question, if Colly is a Kolpak why isn't super Dwayne?

there is some ruling, something to do with if you were/werent kolpak in 2006. Not sure on the exact rules, but the DR is ruled out for Sussex and left me heart broken

 

[keaton]

Good stuff, thanks for the quick answer!

Next question, if Colly is a Kolpak why isn't super Dwayne?

Because he hasn't played test cricket as recently, they changed the rules for next season and it's something to do with having played test cricket in the last three years or summat. I think Goodwin avoids this as Zimbabwe aren't a test nation at the moment and he can argue he didn't play for political reasons. I could be wrong though

 

[BensGrandad]

Perhaps that could help sell Sussex to him if he knows that we have a wicket on which he can bowl well.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Perhaps that could help sell Sussex to him if he knows that we have a wicket on which he can bowl well.

Well, yeah.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Hoggard, Collymore, Arafat SHOULD be enough to get us out of Div 2.

The issue is, chuck RMJ in there as well and other than Yassir, it is still a bit one paced.

Hope one of Liddle, Aga or Sandri can kick on next year to give us some more pace.
