[Cricket] Sussex CCC- 2022 Season Edition
- Thread starter Eeyore
- Start date
Oh FFS! You had to remind me!
It’s bad enough having to endure Sussex sporting misery one afternoon a week at the moment, let alone 4 days, or if we’re being honest, 2/3 days a week!
Sussex CCC - a big step forward
https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics...n_filby_new_chairman_matt_prior_approval.html
Sussex have a new chairman and Matt Prior is hailing it as a big step forward after a period of infighting.
Bob Warren stepped down at last week's annual meeting, and his replacement is Jon Filby, who has been chair of the Sussex Cricket Foundation since 2017.
Two years before that he was project manager for the integration of Sussex CCC with the Sussex Cricket Board.
Prior tweeted on Wednesday morning (April 6): "The majority of [Sussex] fans/members won't realise how important the changes made over the last week have been for the club. I wholeheartedly believe the right calls have been made and am now hopeful we will be able to rebuild and right many of the wrongs from the last six years!"
The former wicketkeeper has been an outspoken critic of those in charge of Sussex in recent seasons. It remains to be seen if the 40-year-old, who won 79 Test caps for England, will become involved with the club again now.

Doesn't six years ago coincide with James May leaving?
If Prior thinks it's good news then I'll go along with it. Chance to 'rebuild and right many of the wrongs from the last six years' indeed! Despite everything I'm looking forward to the season.
(Start of the season and I'm ludicrously over-optimistic! No doubt I'll be back to my usual moaning and pessimistic self before the end of the month).

Fantastic news if correct, well done Jon - huge congratulations. Delighted for you, it'll be a lot of hard work - but the Club couldn't be in better hands. Your father would be so proud and rightly so.

New Chairman elected yesterday. Jon Filby.
Matt Prior is clearly a fan and Chris Adams seems emboldened.
Lots of work to do but positive changes look likely.

I have merged the 'Big Step Forward' thread with this - seems the right place for it

[emoji1787]I didn't read Big Step Forward as thought it was a reference to the clean sheet against Norwich...
Who or what is a George Burrows?
https://sussexcricket.co.uk/news/george-burrows-signs-sussex
Sussex Cricket have signed George Burrows on a short-term contract for the opening month of the season.
Burrows, a right-arm medium fast bowler arrives at Sussex after leaving Lancashire at the end of 2021 season. George made two first class appearances for Lancashire in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy, taking four wickets.
At the end of the 2021 season George made an appearance for our 2nd XI playing against Durham where he bowled 36 overs taking four wickets at an economy of 4.64.
George will be available for both preseason friendlies against Surrey (23 – 25 March) and Durham UCCE (28 – 30 March) and then the first four rounds of the LV= Insurance County Championship against Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Durham.
Ian Salisbury, Championship coach, said “George is a top lad whose impressed us with his bowling, attitude and determination. Everyone deserves a second chance and I’m sure working with James Kirtley can only benefit him and add something different to our bowling unit.”
George Burrows, said “It’s a privilege to get the opportunity down here at Hove, and hopefully I can have a positive impact on the first part of the season.”

Why are you concerned about the weather on day 4?
Said that last year. Lambs to the slaughter if Broad get going (and if he doesn’t)
