Found this in the BBC gossip section.

"Brighton striker Joe Gatting, 20, has quit football with a view to following his famous uncle, Mike, into the game of cricket. (Daily Mirror)"

I bet they nicked that rumour of here when someone said 'Sussex are looking for a decent opener...'

Wouldnt suprise me in the slightest. I know several people who have played on the same team as him, and against him. Their verdict is that he would make a decent county player.

I get to watch him play most weekends and he is decent, I'm no County Selector or anything but should he chose to concentrate on Cricket then he could make it up to County Level IMO.

Does he get given a runner when he's batting?

i have played against him a couple of times vs Nomads. He is a very classy batsman as you would expect from a gatting dynasty

Needs to tighten up hiss defence but I recon he would make a decent county player

In fairness he'd make a decent county player in football too.

I played against him when he was at Preston Nomads - good player.
