[Cricket] Yards retiring

[Gwylan]

Mike Yardy retiring from all forms of cricket at the end of the season.

Sad but it's looked a season too far for him - he's been a great servant for the club though.

That means we have no players left now from the team that won the Championship that very first time

It is probably the correct decision.

It does mean Sussex are now lacking grafters / accumulators in the batting order. Too many batsmen that want to score off every ball, playing in the four day stuff.

Possible batting coach for Sussex?

WE DON'T NEED A BATTING COACH!!! (It's all the fault of dodgy wickets, ok?!)

Sorry.

Sorry.

you are forgiven for your indiscretion.

Unlike our batsmen....

Unlike our batsmen....

The way Robinson seems to treat them, I'd imagine they're almost feral now, living rough, scavenging for food. He only seems to care for the poor bowlers.

Are we currently in a relegation place?

 

[Perry Milkins]

Who will run out our batsmen now? Presumably Robinson is searching for his replacement now..and will recruit an injury prone fast bowler.

I can imagine Machin being like that...

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

That's a shame but the fact that he was batting down as far as 9 in T20 says a lot & he hasn't been able to buy a score in the champ

 

[Black Rod]

I can imagine Machin being like that...

With a belly his size, there is no way he is scavenging for food

 

[Pavilionaire]

The right decision, albeit one season too late.

Yardy has been a great servant to the county and has exceeded all expectations I had of him. It's pretty crucial that we stay up this season as we now need to ship in two decent batsmen.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Not much of a tribute, I would like to add that on his day he was a game changer, with bat, ball and in the field. He had the power to get runs when required and his bowling squeezed the best of attacks. Got to play for his country - was shockingly attacked without merit by Boycott and has been a loyal servant of the club, I will miss him and he is the last playing connection to our last championship winning side.

Yardy barmy army...

Terrific player for Sussex. Captained his side to victory in the T20 and the Pro40 at the first attempt (but Goodwin has a lot to do with that). England World Cup winner too. He'll be 35 soon, so the right time to go.
