Cricket: Ian Ward signs for GOSBTS

[DJ Leon]

Ian Ward...

Sussex have signed him

 

[Jambo Seagull]

according to BBC online.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

only 20 mins after Six yards punisha. Sorry SYP

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Excellent news!



... and I've done a bit of thread merging

 

[Italiaseagull]

Brilliant news!

 

[Storer68]

does this mean that Murray is unlikely to re-sign

 

[Italiaseagull]

No Murray will probably sign a one year deal and bat at number 3. What a batting lineup we'll have next year!

WALKING IN AN IAN WARD WONDERLAND


hmm.....that could work

 

[FatboyTim]

Back to Back champions!

 

[FatboyTim]

No Murray will probably sign a one year deal and bat at number 3. What a batting lineup we'll have next year!

Does that mean we'll have a line-up with Ambrose OR Prior, rather than both?

 

[Italiaseagull]

And next on Peter Moores shopping list Kevin Pietersen!

A row, a row and it's gonna be two in a row!

 

[Storer68]

would be a tremendous signing but I think we need a pace bowler to replace Billy Taylor (now off to hamshire)

Assuming kirtley gets picked for england next Summer which would rule him out for a sizable chunck of the season, then that would leave us with jase The Ace, Huchinson (both left armers so unlikely to lay together) and RMJ as our main strike bowlers.

Me hinks that wont get us through (esp with their injury records)

 

[Juan Albion]

(both left armers so unlikely to lay together)

So what I heard about lefthanders isn't true then?

my dream team-

Ward
Goodwin
Adams
Ambrose
Pieterson
Blackwell
M-J
Prior
Mushy
Kirtley
Sidebottom

IF ONLY!!!!!

 

[Nobby Nomates]

It's a shame about Billy taylor - I saw his debut a few years ago and he's steadily improved since. Jason Lewry is getting a bit long in the tooth and can expect to pick up a few injuries, but I expect Kirtley to start most matches next summer - If England selectors still prefer Johnson to him after his heroics against SA, I can't see him getting a regular berth for the test team.

I agree Kevin pietersen would be a superb signing - I'd have him in over Cottey any day.

Dream Team

Montgomerie
Ward
Goodwin
Adams
Ambrose
Pietersen
Martin-Jenkins
Prior
Ahmed
Kirtley
Lewry

All we need is one more signing.....

Roll on 2004!

 

[The Large One]

I suspect Cottey is on his way. I think we now need a top line bowler. Any ideas, anyone?

 

[E.P. Sam]

We should try and persuade Simon Jones to join us from Glamorgan. He's lightening quick - something that we haven't had at Sussex since Garth Le Roux and Imran Khan.

 

[DessieBoy]

I'd have thought that as soon as Jones was anything like fit, they'd be drafting him into the England side. Sussex would see as much of him as Yorkshire did of Goughie.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Ward
Montgomerie
Goodwin
Adams
Ambrose
Prior
Martin Jenkins
Mushtaq Ahmed
Kirtley
Lewry
Mohammad Akram

Easy.

A row, a row, and its gonna be two in a row.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
He open's the batting and his name is Ian Ward
Bowlers they all hate him for the runs that he does score
and the Sharks go marching ON ON ON!


And number 1 was Ian Ward
And number 2 was Ian Ward
And number 3 was Ian Ward
And number 4 was Ian Ward
And number 5 was Ian Ward
And number 6 was Ian Ward
And number 7 was Ian Ward
And number 8 was Ian Ward
And number 9 was Ian Ward
And number 10 was Ian Ward
And number 11 was Ian Ward
And 12th man was Ian Ward
We all live in a Wardy Wonderland!
