Why oh why oh why?
I thought it was Lewis Dunk...? 
Just checked out the Sussex CCC website - they sure as hell aren't telling anything!

I don't know why he's leaving or where he's gonna go?

Maybe he wasn't considered the right person for the role? or he even asked to stand down? no shame in either if that's true. Why do peeps automatically assume that the worst case scenario is true?.
Perhaps he will just stay as a player, and isn't going anywhere.

Doesn't appear to be a discipline issue.
Argus suggesting a strategic decision.

Ben White with a suntan.
Argus seems to have gone completely subscription only now, so thanks for the info. Tom Haines was captain yesterday - but I just assumed that was because Brown wasn't playing and young Carter was getting a go behind the stumps.
I felt the captaincy was possibly too much with keeping and being our most consistent bat as well. I really hope he's not going though, he's Sussex through and through. Is this a backlash after him backing Gillespie? Talk of fall outs etc. Always saw his as a player who gives all for his team. Things just getting worse at the club - yes there are some good youngsters coming through but we need some experience as well. Hope he stays

It was, obviously, a crap joke in reference to the smokie song in the reply to 'wtf is Ben Brown'.
