John Snow

That's who jumped into my head, but was he better. I think Prior could be the best yet.

 

[Badger]

Chad Keegan (he DESERVED to play for England)

 

[Fingers]

Alan Wells. lol

I think Prior could be the best yet.

Tate's stats are pretty impressive. 155 test wickets, 1500 runs.

You can only compare like with like.
As a wicket keeper, in my opinion it would have to be Jim Parks.
As a batsman, where do you want to start, John langridge , Ken Suttle David Shepherd, Tony Gregg, Imran Kahn, Wells, Adams, the list goes on and on.

My all time sussex cricketer, JOHN SNOW.

Sorry John L did not play for England, and I am not sure about Ken or Adams, Alan I believe played once

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Alan Wells. lol

alan was my brothers best mate at school (tideway)

in the sussex schools final played at hove,alan wells scored 123 no,hitting sixes at 16 years of age

lewes priory were bowled out for 62!

I don't remember Imran Khan playing for England!!

But yes you have a fair point. Although I would argue Matt Prior should be compared to batsmen as well as he could hold his own on that alone.

oh and Jimmy Parks

Tony Greig for me.

Remember seeing an 8 foot tall umbrella walking towards me along Western Road a good few years ago. Underneath was the great man himself, almost as tall.
