Sussex 20/20 Dream Team

[Titanic]

and some devastating stroke play from Paul Phillipson

 

[hans kraay fan club]

You clearly never saw Geoff Arnold hit out , nor did you see the devastatio that Norman Gifford could cause.!

You are correct, I didn't. Garth, however = hitting AND devastation!

 

[Titanic]

Do you think we can find a spot for Tony and Mike Buss ??

 

[Titanic]

And who should ignore Roger Marshall..lest we forget his merciless onslaught on Mike Proctor in the Gillette Cup!!

Batting aside, the famous son of Horsham that is Roger Philip Twells Marshall would grace any 20/20 scene with his flowing locks and deadly accurate left-arm over, military-medium bowling too.

 

[Titanic]

How about a pinch-prodding berth for Peter Graves ?

 

[Mackenzie]

Alan Wells

 

[Parson Henry]

Batting aside, the famous son of Horsham that is Roger Philip Twells Marshall would grace any 20/20 scene with his flowing locks and deadly accurate left-arm over, military-medium bowling too.

You are OLD too!

Never forget the straight bat to Proctor!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Paul Phillipson

 

[Cheshire Cat]

You are OLD too!

Never forget the straight bat to Proctor!

...who bowled straight through it

[Kinky Gerbil]

60 Overs, Blimey

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Di Venuto is a handy player in the short stuff.

 

[Hiney]

Jerry Groome should be in there

 

[The Auditor]

And who should ignore Roger Marshall..lest we forget his merciless onslaught on Mike Proctor in the Gillette Cup!!

It was nearly dark ..bet he didnt see it !

 

[The Auditor]

Gehan Mendis to open.?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Paul Parker – specialist batsman against spin and very quick between the wickets, not to mention a fantastic fielder

Paul Parker was at the same school as me - I remember the School took us to Lords to see him play, I think it was againt the MCC.

Not sure, but I think he played only once or twice for England, and as was the policy in those days was dropped after only a couple of games.


Great thread, and some great names. Imagine Big Garth, Imran, Prior, Mushy, Greig, Wells in the same 20/20 team!

 

[Titanic]

Despite his batting average being substantially below his bowling average (an interesting variety of off-spin), can I put in a vote for Udaykumar Chaganlal Joshi

 

[BensGrandad]

Going back some years but how would the likes of Jim Parks and Alan Oakman have faired in 20/20? Quite well I think.

 

[Pevenseagull]

RIGHT, ENOUGH

someone must put an 11 together and I am using a lot of the current boys

Bevan
Goodwin
Wright
Adams
Khan
Prior
Yardy
Stephenson
Mushy
RMJ
Kirtley


probably too many bowlers but the last 4 + Khan & Yardy are/were good at keeping it tight and can swing a bat with the best of them*

and if anyone thinks I've picked too many current players I would point them in the direction of the trophy cabinet and tell them to go f*** themselves





*apart from Franklyn v Warks

 

[Scotty Mac]

bevan could smash a ball like their was no tomorrow. mark davis was a pretty useful slogger when it came to it as well

how has bas ZUIDERENT been overlooked? the most flair cricketer EVER to pull on the sussex jersey

 

[Pevenseagull]

Going back some years but how would the likes of Jim Parks and Alan Oakman have faired in 20/20? Quite well I think.

might as well throw Ranjitsihnji, Tate and Duleepsihji into the squad while we're at it
