Sussex CCC and Monty Panesar will part company at the end of this season.

This follows the urinating on a bouncer incident last week.

It had to happen. Monty's head is all over the place at the moment, with his messy divorce with his wife which is in progress as we speak. The Urinating on the Bouncer was what broke the camel back for us and Mark Robinson.

Now the hunt is on to find a decent spinner for next season............

Give Beer a go and see how he does for the rest of the season. No spinner in Division 1 has done much this year due to the pitches, it wouldn't make sense to spend big on a spinner.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

That would be lunacy - he's the only real class bowler we've got - even if he is a bit crap at the moment by comparison with previous seasons.

There isn't one. No Australian crap please.

 

[Shirty]

I think Northants have already expressed an interest in taking him back....

 

[Gazwag]

I reckon September

 

[Cheshire Cat]

He's gone

get that ashton agar in - you'll get more female bums in seats at least - more female bums in seats in some pretty short skirts = overall more bums in seats

then you have all this ticket $$ to spend on somebody big-news like malinga for 20/20 and dale steyn as the overseas man


it can't go wrong

 

[Barrel of Fun]

A shame it has worked out the way if has, but it seems that his attention was elsewhere this season. Silly boy needs to get his act together. I think a winter call up is a bit far fetched!

 

[Gangsta]

Typical we lose him just before last two month CC1 games - just when he will be most effective

 

[spring hall convert]

"I believe that if I maintain the bowling progress I have made in recent weeks which enabled me to be selected for the Test squad at Old Trafford, I can fulfil my long-held ambition of becoming the best spin bowler in the world, over time."

And I want to be an astronaut Monty but it a'int ever going to happen. I don't think this is such bad news, in this day and age I don't really think you can afford a fronline spinner who can only really play 4 day cricket.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Give Beer a go

I think that's what Monty did and it didn't work out for him !

 

[knocky1]

I reckon September

I reckon your right.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Probably had to go but I think Monty seriously needs an effective support network around him right now. Divorce, drinking, bit out of control and being sacked - cricketers have a very high depression rate and Monty is showing all the signs. I hope there is some safety net that is going to support this man - and I don't just mean another club signing him, because that may not help with the underlying issues - and will certainly bring new pressures.

 

[KingstonSeagull]

Bouncer probably deserved it, most of them are absolute twats...

Sussex Messageboard reckon it is Essex, I'm sure he will enjoy Chelmsford's nightlife......

He seems to be doing a good job of trying to sweep it all under the carpet. Talking about being picked for the winter tour and how he believes he can be the best spinner in the world.

I do hope there is a safety net, if he genuinely needs help. If he's just being a prat then good riddance.

This must be our first 'sacking' since we got rid of Giddins for his drug habit.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Ed Giddins once bowled at me in the nets at Hove. My word he was sharpish!!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

According to the Guardian report he was out with Hamilton Brown when he got wrecked - who also has previous form at Surrey.
