FROM THE EDITOR CONTENTS As I write these notes, at the end of February, winter has delivered one last, wintry blast.
Hard to think that in just over a month cricket will be back at Hove and, for you and me, all will be right with the world. The landscape of the domestic game is changing rapidly. Who knows what the calendar will look like in 20 or even ten years. Will there still be a County Championship? Is any other one-day format except T20 doomed? The same might apply to this handbook. It has been part of the fixture and fittings of the Sussex cricket year for a very long time. Some counties no longer issue a handbook and you might question its relevance in the era when every scorecard and stat is a couple of computer clicks away. Fortunately, Rob Andrew and his team at Hove see its value as a document of record as well as, I hope, a source of entertainment for Sussex supporters. The major change for 2018 is that I have dispensed with individual match reports for Championship games but increased the length of the review at the start of that section. Other than that, and a few minor tweaks, I hope what follows reflects a mixed 2017 as well as looking ahead to 2018 and the start of the Jason Gillespie era. As always, many people have helped to put the handbook together. Sam Keir and Sean Heal at Sussex cast a diligent eye at the proofing stage as well as bringing together the contributions from the management team at the club while the indefatigable Norman Epps has once again done a sterling job with the records section. Pictures have been supplied by Roger Ockenden, Alison McCreedy, Steve Lawrence, James Boardman and Getty Images while production was in the capable hands of Gavin Graimes and Chris Hewitt at Oliver & Graimes.

BOB WARREN
Our play in recent seasons hasn’t produced the results we would like to have seen, however the prospects for the 2018 season and beyond suggest that better things are to come. Our policy of ensuring that we have a production line of young English-qualified players available for selection looks as if it is starting to pay off.

CHAIRMAN
Add these ever-improving players to our established players, then add the renowned coaching ability of our new Head Coach, Jason Gillespie, and I think you will begin to understand my optimism. Many of our players have been playing abroad during the past winter. The stand-out performer has been Jofra Archer, who, along with Tymal Mills, has been making the headlines for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash. Some of his performances have been outstanding. Also doing very well in Australia, but without making the headlines, have been some of our younger players with Delray Rawlins being the pick. Delray scored 152 for Sydney against North Sydney. Also producing fine performances during the winter down under have been Michael Burgess, Ollie Robinson, Phil Salt, Abi Sakande. Chris Jordan, David Wiese and Luke Wright have been involved in T20 leagues around the world. George Garton spent time with the England Ashes squad to help the team prepare to face Mitchell Starc’s left-arm fast bowling. Unfortunately, that experiment didn’t really help England, however what a great experience for George. George, Laurie Evans and Delray have both been selected for the annual North v South curtain-raiser, which this year is being played in Barbados. George was also in the England Lions squad for their West Indies tour but had to pull out because of injury. Stuart Whittingham has been playing for Scotland in the tri-nations tournament involving Ireland and the UAE in the Middle East. Add all the above to Ben Brown, Luke Wells, Stiaan van Zyl and our other established players and you can see why my level of excitement is rising. We are not just about producing top-class first XI cricket teams; as a club we are much more. Our second XI was very successful in 2017 and I have every reason to believe that success will continue in 2018. Our Academy continues to produce the players we need now and will need in the future.
Our partnership with the Aldridge Foundation has transformed our women and girls’ squads. Under the leadership of Jimmy Anyon as the women’s Head Coach, continued success is expected. Incidentally, Georgia Elwiss took time off from England duty to play for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash women’s tournament with some success. Two of my Board colleagues, Gary Stanley and Daniel Oliver, are heading up the re-organisation of the league structure in Sussex. Prior to this season we had four leagues in Sussex, from this season we will have one league. There are two main aims: firstly, to produce a higher standard of cricket at the top end of the new structure and secondly to try to ensure that we keep and hopefully increase participation at the bottom of the pyramid. As a club we are committed to help those less fortunate than most. Our DIScoverABILITY Day was tremendously successful in 2017 and more is expected in 2018. I recommend to members that if you can pop into Hove during our DIScoverABILITY Day you will be proud of the work your club is doing. We are committing more resources to our Chance to Shine programme in schools. The cricket skills taught become part of the curriculum. This year we will double the programme. Our Street Cricket programme will increase from three deprived areas in Sussex to four in 2018. In the past a noticeable reduction in local crime has been seen in the areas where these games are played. We will continue our No Boundaries work with Sussex local authorities, again using cricket as a method to help those out of work back into work. Health checks will be on offer at Hove during the season. All the above programmes, with the exception of professional cricket, the Academy and the women & girls’ squads come under the auspices of the Sussex Cricket Foundation (SCF), which is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Sussex Cricket Ltd (SCL). The Board of Trustees is now led by my Board Colleague, Jon Filby. Members will notice that the Long Room has been re-decorated. There are also on display a huge number of new photographs, which have been supplied by the Sussex Cricket Museum. Incidentally, if you haven’t been into the Museum recently then I urge you to visit during the season. Our volunteers have been working throughout the winter and a number of very interesting displays will be on offer this year. Our club, led by our Chief Executive, Rob Andrew and his leadership team, is, rightly, highly regarded in English cricket and with Jason Gillespie leading our coaching set-up I do believe we are on the cusp of something special. I hope you can tell that I am highly enthusiastic about the future. I am also highly impressed with the work our staff are doing in the community. We should all feel very proud of our club.

ROB ANDREW
The last 12 months have flown by. There has been so much going on both at a national and local level. As far as our position with the ECB is concerned, we had a couple of significant decisions in 2017. The game agreed to a new city-based T20 competition with eight teams to start in the year 2020. At the time of writing, there is still a lot of work to do to finalise details of the tournament but hopefully there will be clarity in the coming weeks and months. The second major development was the delivery of a new broadcast deal from 2020 to 2024 which gives financial visibility through the next seven years. In 2018 there will be detailed discussions with the first-class counties and the ECB over the structure and operation of the new T20 competition and the creation of a new CPA (County Partnership Agreement) setting out the relationship between the counties and the ECB for the duration of the new broadcast deal. As far as Sussex Cricket is concerned we have 6
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
spent some time during 2017 considering a new Strategic Plan for the next few years and linked to the ECB County Partnership Agreement. We will look to produce a draft over the coming months to help drive our business decisions and priorities for the coming year and years to follow. We are very clear that our overriding purpose across the whole organisation is: ‘Inspiring a passion for cricket’ This will cover all areas of the business as set out below. PERFORMANCE CRICKET The appointment of Jason Gillespie is a great coup for the club and we look forward to him helping us develop a high performing team. Our strategy is very clearly to develop home grown players where possible and we are seeing the fruits of that work over the last few years as players come through the first team. We have a balance of youth and experience and we have secured the services of the majority of our young, English-qualified players for the next few years. Women’s and girls’ cricket remains a strong focus and we are very grateful for the continued support for women’s cricket in Sussex by the Aldridge Foundation and the great facilities at the Sir Rod Aldridge Cricket Centre which has become the home of Sussex women’s cricket. COMMUNITY CRICKET We have recently appointed Chris Coleman as our new Head of Community Cricket who has joined us from Sport England. We will allow Chris time to reflect on the work the Community Cricket department have done over the last two years and work on the key priorities for the next few years. We will ensure that our work is aligned to the ECB’s Cricket Unleashed strategy which will form the bedrock of the County Partnership Agreement and how it relates to the level of funding coming into the community department over the coming years. We will also review the priorities for the Sussex Cricket Foundation during the course of this year to ensure we are focussing on the areas in which we can have the biggest influence in the community.
COMMERCIAL We continue to try to grow our match day and non-match day income in order to provide more money to invest in both of the cricket departments. We must ensure we provide an entertaining and successful side on the pitch to aid our membership sales and match day sales of tickets and hospitality. In addition to our normal Sussex fixtures this year we are delighted to host Australia for a 50-over match on 7th June, England Women for a 50-over match against South Africa on 12th June, and once again we are delighted to host the Women’s Kia Super League finals day on 27th August. Working closely with the Operations team we are also delighted to be hosting two very highprofile concerts in Little Mix and Lionel Richie this summer. We also continue to build our relationship with our conference and events partner. We started our relationship with Centerplate last March and they have now merged with Sodexo. We have introduced a new website, improved our ticketing platform and changed our CRM partner in order to improve our customer service and make sure we are prepared for the new data protection regulations (GDPR) from May 2018. OPERATIONS The Operations team continue to work hard to ensure The 1st Central County Ground, Hove is fit for purpose for both first class cricket (on and off the field), and major non-match day events such as concerts. Our groundstaff also look after the Blackstone Academy Ground, sponsored by Hurstpierpoint College where we have two outstanding cricket squares which are the envy of many other counties. We are grateful to the support provided by the Sussex Cricket Foundation to help with the upkeep of Blackstone which allows us to provide high quality practice and playing facilities for our next generation of players. Over the course of 2018 we will be looking to put a masterplan in place for the next phase
of ground development at Hove. We have a very special cricket ground but we must constantly look to see how it can be improved both for players, spectators and our growing non-match day revenue. PEOPLE AND FINANCE As with any well-run organisation we want to make sure our support processes through our people development and financial control are fit for purpose. On and off the field we want to help people achieve their goals and feel part of a very special workplace. I have been impressed by the passion our people have for Sussex Cricket and the massive commitment they give to the organisation. Hopefully as we set out our plans for the future they will want to stay and help improve what we currently do. As with all organisations it is important we have financial controls and we are looking to set out a financial strategy for the next seven years through to 2024. The club has been well run and is one of the few first-class counties that does not have any external debt, but has carried out significant improvements to the ground thanks to the Spen Cama legacy. We now need to look at how we fund the next phase of development. We must ensure that our strategic plan is underpinned by strong stakeholder relationships and our reputation, allied to a commitment to good governance and strong regulations. Running through everything we do must also be a commitment to ‘putting our customers first’ and our Sussex Cricket values of: Honesty – Respect – Accessibility – Enjoyment – Drive – Selflessness It has been a very busy first 12 months and I would like to thank everyone for their welcome and support in my first year. I feel very excited by what lies ahead for Sussex Cricket and cricket in general over the next few years. ROB ANDREW CHIEF EXECUTIVE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

The 2018 season is going to be an exciting year with Jason Gillespie taking over as Head Coach. We welcome Jason to Sussex Cricket and look forward to a fruitful relationship.

DIRECTOR OF CRICKET
Clearly, staying on track with our strategy to develop our home-grown and English-qualified players is going to be crucial moving forwards. We have to stay strong to our beliefs and continue to give opportunities to our young players so they can develop and cement their places in the team. Starting well has to be a focus this year, rather than playing catch up in each competition as we did in 2017. During the winter we were able to give developmental opportunities to our coaching staff. Jon Lewis in particular had three great development opportunities working in Australia as the England Lions’ bowling coach as well as around the Ashes squad, then with Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash. In February, Jon was appointed Head Coach of the ECB’s Young Lions programme. He will be greatly missed and we wish him all the best for the future. It wouldn’t surprise me if we welcome him back to Sussex as Head Coach in the future. We are losing Academy Director Carl Hopkinson to the ECB after his appointment as Lead Fielding Coach. He will be greatly missed but we wish him well as he takes on this fantastic opportunity. Michael Yardy has been running the professional squad’s winter training back at Hove which has given him invaluable extra responsibility and exposure. Jason Swift has spent time with the England Women’s programme to enhance his skills and understanding and he will cascade the knowledge he has gained down through the Sussex women and girls programmes. Many of our playing squad spent their winters overseas developing their games and gaining experience and exposure by participating in the numerous T20 competitions around the world or through club placements. The pre-season tour to Cape Town will have been vital in the preparation of our players, but just as importantly it will allow Jason Gillespie to set out his strategy and form strong relationships
Jon Lewis is leaving Sussex to take up a highprofile role with the ECB.
with the players and staff. With a decent length of pre-season preparation back at Hove at the conclusion of the tour, we will have had a nice balance before the real business begins in mid-April. The second year of our Women and Girls’ Academy is going well and James Anyon, as Head Coach, will expect to see an upturn in the fortunes of the women’s senior squad as a result. Like the men, the women are a young team which will need to develop over time. We are very fortunate to have excellent facilities at Hove, Blackstone and in partnership with the Aldridge Foundation the new facility at BACA. This enables us to continuously develop and drive the standards across all of our programmes. Gary Stanley has done an outstanding job in bringing all of our clubs and leagues together under one structure which will commence this summer. Before the end of the year we will finally have one Sussex Cricket League structure which again will be a huge positive for Sussex Cricket.
Our developmental pathways for both boys and girls are going to be crucial to our long-term aspirations. We need to increase the output from our Academy systems, as much in the quality of the players initially rather than the numbers, then moving forwards on both fronts. This means we have to continue to drive and assist in improving our developmental pathways and continue to nurture our links with other cricket partners in Oxfordshire, Guernsey and Norwich School in order to achieve this. In the near future we will need to further support our Academy Director, whoever that is, with greater resources if we are seriously going to achieve this. Bring on 2018 and beyond. We are at the start of an exciting journey which will gain momentum this year. We are all looking forward to being part of it. KEITH GREENFIELD DIRECTOR OF CRICKET

JASON GILLESPIE
I would like to welcome everyone to the 2018 domestic season. It promises to be an exciting season for all the teams that represent Sussex. On a personal note I’m really looking forward to being part of the Sussex family and have been overwhelmed by the welcome that I’ve received by everyone involved with the club. From my experiences at county level, Sussex fans have always been very proud of their players and very passionate about the team. I’m looking forward to experiencing that support from the home dressing room! I’ve been asked a number of times what our fans will see this summer from our squad on the field. Our goal is to entertain our fans.
For us to entertain our fans, we want to play quality cricket. Cricket entertainment can look and feel different day to day. One day it could be a high scoring day of cricket on a good batting surface with the ball flying to all parts. Another day it could be batsmen fighting hard on a challenging surface with some hostile fast bowling and balls spinning and fizzing. That’s what we love about our great game and players love the challenges of learning and adapting to playing in different conditions and on different surfaces. Our players will be afforded the freedom to go out and express themselves and entertain. I’m convinced we have a fantastic squad of players to achieve the dual goals of quality cricket and entertaining our fans. Because it is going to take a squad effort, every player has a role to play for our club to have a successful summer. What you, our members, will see is our players and support staff all enjoying themselves playing and being involved with the game we all love. You will see players giving their all for their team and you will be able to tell from the smiles on everyone’s faces that they are all having fun. Our plan is to get the basics right, go out there with clear minds and implement the skills that the players work so hard at honing in the winter months. If we stick to what allows us to do well as individuals and as a team, the results will take care of themselves. Not for a minute am I saying that this will be easy, as there are plenty of fine teams out there. However, our attitude and work ethic will go a long way to us being able to play the best cricket we possibly can. I know the players and support staff are excited for the summer ahead and we look forward to sharing that with you. Enjoy the summer of cricket! JASON GILLESPIE HEAD COACH HEAD COACH

LOOKING BACK TO THE SUMMER OF ’68
The Sussex squad 50 years ago. A disappointing and often turbulent summer at least ended with a trip to Lord’s.
Now, we’ve got something to say… ‘Would you like to say something before you leave? Perhaps you’d care to state exactly how you feel.’ So wrote Pink Floyd on ‘Summer of ‘68’, a song on their album ‘Atom Heart Mother.’ It is unlikely the psychedelic rockers had the Sussex cricket committee in mind when they came up with those lyrics but the powers-that-be at Hove had been very keen to say exactly how they felt at the end of the 1968 season - 50 years ago. Sussex reached their third Lord’s final but finished bottom of the County Championship for the first time since 1946 and the committee let off steam. “Let each player, from those of Test match class to the most junior apprentice, know that the county will demand that he gives every ounce of his endeavour to the team at all times, and that if he is not prepared to give 100% support to the captain Mike Griffith that he would do better to seek his fortune elsewhere.” These days an appearance in a one-day final would be considered more than ample 12
THE SUMMER OF ‘68
compensation for a poor performance in the Championship. But 50 years ago, even though the Gillette Cup was growing in popularity and the John Player One-Day League would start in 1969, the health of a county club was gauged by its performances in the Championship. And in 1968 Sussex were pretty abysmal. In 28 games (yes, 28!) they managed just two wins, Jim Parks leading them to victory over Leicestershire and Griffith, who took over the captaincy in July, overseeing a win against Northamptonshire. But it was a summer of remarkable contrasts. Alarmed at falling gates (although membership had increased to nearly 7,000) the committee had demanded that Parks lead a team of entertainers to try and attract more people to watch three-day cricket. The retirement of Ian Thomson, Ted Dexter and the Nawab of Pataudi made the job harder for Parks, but Sussex scored more runs per hundred balls than any other county. Yet they were dismissed for under 150 ten times
and only managed to bowl out their opponents for less than that total on three occasions. Parks’ form was badly affected by the responsibilities of captaincy, keeping wicket and scoring runs. Parks’ highest score from 25 Championship innings was just 57 and he averaged just 20.84. “It was making me ill, the worry of it all,” Jim reflected a few years later. “I was quite happy to step down and in time Mike proved a very good captain.” Although the new skipper, who had made his maiden first-class hundred against the Australians in June, was unable to oversee a transformation in Championship results, Sussex were still a force in one-day cricket, having twice won the Gillette Cup since its inception five years earlier. A day after losing to them in the Championship, they thrashed Derbyshire on the same Hove wicket by ten wickets, edged out Northants by seven runs thanks to a brilliant century by Ken Suttle in front of 8,000 at Hove, and then dismissed Gloucestershire in a semifinal that took three damp days to conclude. Don Bates, whose benefit that season raised £8,000 and enabled him to invest in a launderette, took the visitors to the cleaners with 6 for 30. More than 25,000 turned up at Lord’s for the final and Sussex seemed to be in a good position at one stage. After Parks made an unbeaten 57 on a slow wicket to help Sussex to 214 for 7 from 60 overs, they had Warwickshire 155 for 6 in reply before A.C. Smith and Dennis Amiss put on an unbeaten 60 for the seventh wicket to guide them to victory with three overs to spare. A few days later, as the inquests at the season’s end began, came that stark ultimatum from the committee. Only Suttle, the emerging Tony Greig, and Mike Buss had scored more than 1,000 runs. Tony Buss was leading wicket-taker with 62, a commendable effort but 36 fewer than he managed in 1967. John Snow took 50 wickets but, as Wisden caustically noted, “he again seemed to reserve his best for the big occasion,
bowling well in all five Tests (against Australia).” After watching his son return to the ranks, Jim Parks senior stepped down as county coach and if that wasn’t enough upset for one year, 1968 ended with the committee issuing a dire warning about the club’s finances, calling an £8,000 deficit and £21,000 worth of accumulated debt a ‘disaster.’ “Unless the wasting away of our assets (though they are considerable) are arrested, the continuance of county cricket at Hove could be jeopardised.” Yet while secretary Col. P.C. Williams and the committee had been content to fire salvos in the direction of the players and criticise the lack of support at the turnstiles, they might have been better served reflecting on their own negligence. In February a deal to sign South Africa’s Barry Richards had been agreed. Richards received a better offer from Hampshire and when his representative went back to Sussex to see if they could find some more money the answer came back no. Richards went on to have a phenomenal career at Hampshire, helping them win the Championship in 1973. BRUCE TALBOT
Jim Parks resigned as captain during the season because he felt it was affecting his form.

JOYCE AND MAGOFFIN - SUSSEX LEGENDS
Two special players, close to Sussex hearts. Ed Joyce and Steve Magoffin possessed such persevering qualities that when they disappeared from the Sussex team last year one suspected it might have been a scorecard printer’s error. Even now – and remember Joyce will be 40 this year, and Magoffin next – they have not gone entirely. Joyce has returned to Ireland, to continue his career in that country’s exciting stage of cricket development and possibly make his Test debut in 2018, while Magoffin has moved to Worcestershire. Joyce had already expended half his career at Middlesex before he moved to Sussex, while Magoffin was 32 when he first played for the county, so their apparent indispensability at Hove was earned over a relatively short period. Joyce is one of those languid lefties who evokes fond memories of David Gower – or Frank Woolley if you’re hoary enough to recall cricket before the war. He is a delight to watch. But he 14
ED JOYCE AND STEVE MAGOFFIN
came up with the figures too. He can consider himself unlucky not to have played Test cricket for England, for he has a very solid first-class average of 48.28, with 47 centuries. In 2014 he had an exceptional year for Sussex, hitting seven centuries and averaging 66 in the top division. The England selector Angus Fraser, an old friend from Lord’s, said he would have been seriously considered for Test selection that year if he had not become “Irish” once more. Dublin-born Joyce was an outstanding young batsman for Ireland, scoring 758 runs in 14 ICC Trophy matches between 2001-05, with an average of 84.22. But he always wanted to test himself at the highest possible level. I was in Belfast in 2006 to watch him make his ODI debut for England. He was playing against the country of his birth, whose side included his younger brother, Dominic. Their father, James Joyce (no, not that one) was there to watch. In the Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, the older version of James Joyce recalled his schooldays in a memorable passage: “All over the playgrounds they were playing rounders and bowling twisters and lobs. And from here and there came the sounds of the cricket bats through the soft grey air. They said: pick, pack pock, puck; little drops of water in a fountain slowly filling in the brimming bowl.” At Stormont in 2006 a capacity crowd of 7,000 sang Danny Boy, Molly Malone and It’s a Long Way to Tipperary. The local author, Gerard Siggins, signed his new book, Green Days: Cricket in Ireland 1792-2005. “This is history, mister,” said a jolly green giant, wielding a Guinness as he watched Ireland’s first official one-day international. Was it the emotion of the occasion or the boggy quality of the pitch that was responsible for Joyce’s rather diffident innings of ten, before he got himself out with a poor stroke? He went on to prove himself a fluent runscorer for the England one-day team, and
scored a century against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground, but lost his place after the side’s disappointing 2007 World Cup campaign. Four years later he was a member of the Ireland team that shattered England with an unlikely run-chase at Bangalore during the World Cup. Domestically, Joyce moved to Sussex in 2009 and was appointed captain in 2012, replacing Michael Yardy. He could have gone on for longer. His last season with Sussex, 2016, included a magnificent career-best 250 against Derbyshire. He had intended to play for the county last year, but injuries and fresh commitments to Ireland made this impossible. He scored over 8,000 first-class runs for the county, averaging 49.39, with 23 centuries. “There’s no doubt in my mind I played my best cricket at Sussex and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the coaches, players, supporters and environment at the club that allowed me to do that,” he said. “I’ll always feel like I’m coming home when I visit Hove in the future, which I plan
to do as often as possible as a spectator. On a sunny day in the summer there’s no better city to be in, or ground at which to watch cricket.” Queenslander Magoffin joined Sussex in 2012, taking seven for 34 on his debut to give his side victory over Lancashire. He had some pace, but even more memorable to Sussex supporters were his accuracy, swing and ability to hit the seam from a good height. He led the Sussex attack throughout his time with the county, taking more than 50 wickets in five seasons out of six. In 2014 he was the leading wicket-taker in Division One, with 72. “I have had the time of my life at Sussex and I look forward to following the team’s future success as a supporter of this great county,” he said. “I’d like to thank the members, supporters, board, office and professional staff for an absolutely amazing six years at the club.” The gratitude is mutual. Thank you, Steve. And Ed. PAUL WEAVER
Modern legends: Ed Joyce and Steve Magoffin will always have a soft spot for Sussex.

JOFRA ARCHER: A GLOBAL STAR
It was December 2016 when Jofra Archer put pen to paper on a new two-year deal at Sussex. In the media swarm that followed, he discussed what lay ahead. In that time, mused Archer, he hoped to move his career on. His ambitions were humble: breaking into the starting XI, playing a part in all three forms and furthering himself as a cricketer. Naturally, thoughts turned to the 2017 summer. Having weighed up the cricket on offer, he gave himself a target: “My aim for next season is to take 70 wickets across all three formats.” Quite the claim for a 21-year-old to make. But those who knew Archer as a talent and a personality knew there was substance to his words. It didn’t take long for the rest to see it. On the first day of Sussex’s Championship season which saw Kent visit Hove, Archer got a tenth of the way to his target with a magnificent seven for 67. Fast forward to the end of September. Sussex’s promotion charge had fallen short despite a late run of wins but younger players were starting to come to the fore as the club looked to move forward. Ben Brown assumed the captaincy. Luke Wells cracked 1,292 runs in the Championship. And Archer announced himself as one of the domestic game’s most exciting prospects. He breezed past 70, finishing with 84 wickets in all competition (61 in the Championship; nine in the Royal London Cup; 14 in the T20 Blast) and was one of two players to take more than 50-wickets and score over 500 runs in red ball cricket, the first time that had been achieved by a Sussex player since Vasbert Drakes in 1996. It was during this time that Hobart Hurricanes’ George Bailey, who was captaining Hampshire, became a fan. The Hurricanes had never won the Big Bash League and were looking to build the perfect squad to push for their maiden title. They identified that they needed a white ball bowler and plumped for Surrey’s Tom Curran. However, when Curran was called up to England’s Ashes squad after Steven Finn’s injury, Bailey got onto Cricket Tasmania’s chief executive,
Nick Cummins, to state Archer’s case. “Anyone you talk to in the UK was raving about Jofra!” he told him. Therefore, despite no international experience, the Bajan took one of the designated overseas spots. What followed was the tournament of a lifetime. On the pitch, Archer was a walking highlight reel. Never mind the 16 wickets (jointthird in the BBL) – everything he touched turned to gold. There was the incredible return catch off Brisbane Heat’s Ben Cutting. Not to mention the direct hit run out against Perth Scorchers from the boundary’s edge, or the one against the Adelaide Strikers when he went to ground to field off his own bowling and threw down the stumps while sat on his backside. Of course, there was more to Archer than retweetable clips. The Hurriances trusted him implicitly with new ball and old: opening the innings and returning at the death to close it out. The languid approach that led into the 90mph rockets did for most but his development as a limited overs bowler was evident when things were not going his way. His changes of pace were subtle and his ability to remain calm under pressure earned him cult status with wider BBL fans. That unwavering self-belief helped to produce one of the soundbites of the Australian summer when, against the Strikers, he was asked what was said in his chat with Bailey just before he successfully defended 13 off the final over: “I told him to set the field and I will bowl to whatever he gives me.” Naturally, the rewards followed. Other BBL franchises were desperate to sign Archer for next year’s competition including Perth Scorchers through Sussex bowling guru Jon Lewis, who is the team’s assistant coach, but Hurricanes moved quickly to secure the all-rounder for the next two seasons. Then, the big one: a £800,000 deal to play in this year’s Indian Premier League for Rajasthan Royals. Unfortunately, a happy ending was just beyond
Archer and the Hurricanes. Defeat to an inspired Adelaide Strikers, coached by new Sussex Head Coach Jason Gillespie, in the final brought an end to an impressive campaign, without silverware to show for it. Yet, when Archer takes the time to assess his month in Australia, he would do well to consider how far he has come. From considering giving up the game because of his back to becoming a viral superstar. England qualification will only come in the winter of 2022, but one thing is clear: the Sussex man is already proving himself on the global stage.

SUSSEX CRICKET MUSEUM
One of Sussex’s finest all-rounders Ian Thomson will be the subject of a special publication by the Museum Trust this summer.
A busy 2017, and lots to look forward to this summer. 2017 was another very enjoyable year in the development of the museum and as ever there are so many people to thank for their hard work in making the museum at Hove such an important part of Sussex Cricket. In particular, on behalf of all the Trustees, I would like to thank Bob Warren, who is stepping down as Chair of the Sussex Cricket Museum and Educational Trust to allow him to focus full time on his role as Chairman of Sussex Cricket. Since succeeding Richard Barrow, Bob has done a superb job and during his time as Chairman the museum has gone from strength to strength. Our thanks are also due to Ed Putnam for his outstanding service as our Treasurer. Ed, who is also the Treasurer of Sussex Cricket, has done a great job compiling our accounts, our annual reports and keeping our books in order for the 18
SUSSEX CRICKET MUSEUM
past six years. Thank you both. I am very pleased to be able to announce that Cliff Robinson has succeeded Ed as our Treasurer and that Mary Gallivan has become a Trustee and our Secretary. I am extremely grateful to both and delighted that they are each settling in so well to their new roles. I should also like to thank the remaining Trustees, Phil Barnes, Richard Barrow, Averil Older and Nicholas Sharp, each of whom do so much for us with special thanks to Richard Barrow who, with Nigel Russell, did such a wonderful job of organising our great day out at the Tower of London last November 1 with Andrew Strauss, when ÂŁ20,000 being raised for the Sussex Cricket charities. In addition to the Trustees, we have a wonderful group of volunteers who, led by our remarkable curator Rob Boddie, give up so much time to help us develop, record and display our special collection. Though the museum is only open to the public in the summer, it is during the winter months that we are at our busiest and the winter of 2017-18 was no different. Our volunteers have planned and prepared the new exhibitions for our visitors to enjoy this summer and have also helped with the redecoration of the Long Room which will feature a large number of excellent Arthur Smallwood photographs, a Martin Speight exhibition and an exhibition of paintings by Edwin Harris from Littlehampton CC, who played for Sussex in the 1920s. In addition to photographs recalling the great players of years gone by we will also be celebrating the trophy wins beginning with the Gillette Cup in 1963. Special thanks then to Peter Crowhurst, Norman Epps, Mark Foster, Paul Hutson, David Jeater, Laura Piper and Nigel Tarr. The museum is a delightful place to volunteer, to meet fellow lovers of Sussex Cricket and to make a contribution to recording and preserving our great history. If you would like to join us do please ask any of the friendly faces in the museum.
We have made some important acquisitions which I am sure visitors will enjoy seeing next summer. These include a magnificent silverplate tea set given by Ranji to the wife of William Murdoch for Christmas 1896 which we will be displaying on a table cloth, which belongs to the doyen of Sussex Cricket collectors Nicholas Sharp, and is embroidered by Mrs Murdoch with signatures of the great Golden Age cricketers. We have also acquired the War Medals of Kenneth Harding, the ball with which Ian Thomson took all ten Warwickshire wickets in an innings at Worthing in 1964, and a bat signed by all of the 2010 World T20 Cup Winners including our own Michael Yardy and Luke Wright. We are busy planning and preparing the latest publications in our well established and much respected series of limited editions. Last year’s two main booklets were Norman Epps’ wonderful work on Jim Parks world-record season and a Sussex Martlets Miscellany by Peter Hartland, both of which have virtually sold out. This summer we are working on publications with subjects including Ian Thomson and that ball we acquired in the winter, Aubrey Smith and his grave which was the subject of a Radio 4 programme with Jim Carter during last year, The Revolution and Sussex in the Minor Counties Championship. All of these publications will be available from the museum as the 2018 season progresses. We are always grateful when former players, members and friends give us donations of books, scorecards and other items and in September were particularly delighted when one lady brought in a scorecard from one of the first matches played at Hove in 1872. Of course, this scorecard will be on display in the museum this summer whilst other items are sold to raise the money that enables us to keep enhancing the museum and our collection. If you have items that you would like to give us please bring them into the museum during the season.
As 2018 began we were saddened by the death of actress Bella Emberg who will be remembered by many for her character Blunder Woman, the comic sidekick of hapless superhero Cooperman in the 1980s television programme The Russ Abbot Show. What few will know is that Bella, who was born in Brighton, was a regular visitor to Hove, an enthusiastic collector of cricket books and a long-term friend of the museum.

THE BUSINESS OF CRICKET
The landscape of business within cricket forever changes. As the digital age continues to develop we must ensure we can offer our customers the products and services they want whilst being mindful of not leaving anyone behind.

THE BUSINESS OF CRICKET
The winter was once again a busy one for all at Sussex Cricket, especially within the Commercial, Marketing and Ticketing teams. The winter saw us upgrade several our systems and processes including our CRM (Customer Relationship Management), ticketing, email delivery, creative agency and website. These systems will help us better understand our members and fans, thus allowing us to tailor our products and services to better suit their needs whilst ensuring Sussex Cricket becomes a data-driven business relying on insight rather than assumption. The time and investment put into this area of the business will help us provide a service to our members and fans that they can be
proud of, whilst ensuring we are compliant with the changes to the General Data Protection Regulations. It will make us at the forefront of the first-class game both on and off the field. We welcome Sports Alliance (CRM & Email Delivery Partner) and Oliver & Graimes (Website & Creative Agency) to the club. By visiting www.sussexcricket.co.uk you will see the fantastic work Oliver & Graimes have already done in providing a state of the art new website. During the season you will see even more functionality added including live streaming and Opta statistics. Looking back, last year was another strong year for hospitality revenue but sponsorship proved a little more challenging. This was due to the difficulties encountered in securing new shirt sponsorship agreements after being let down at the last moment by an international organisation. However, all three shirt sponsors, Boundless, Aerotron and Parafix, have been retained for the 2018 season on improved terms, bringing stability to the sponsorship revenue streams despite the tightening of the market due to Brighton & Hove Albion’s promotion to the Premier League. Our other major sponsors 1st Central, Aldridge and Jointing Tech have also continued their partnerships with the club and we are looking forward to working with these fantastic partners for another season. Many clubs across a plethora of sports have a natural turnover of sponsors from season to season, but we are proud to say we have a 95% retention rate which we continually look to sustain whilst welcoming new partners to the club. The off-season has seen a number of new partners join the club including Smile Travel Group, Body Fuel Café, Brighton Fire Alarms, SeaLife Centre, Oliver & Graimes and D. Wade Electrical to name but a few. As the Boundary Club, our own unique networking group, enters its eighth year, it continues to go from strength to strength. For
the past three seasons the networking group has been sold out with 220 members ranging across a multitude of organisations. We welcome our members to nine events a year, with a keynote speaker talking against the backdrop of a Sussex match. Furthermore, our non-match day events continue to thrive with a number of them raising vital funds for various UK and local charities. In 2017 we raised around £35,000 through our Where Cricket Meets… series and annual fireworks night. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to wish all our members, sponsors and fans a fantastic 2018. I look forward to sharing in the success both on and off the field around the whole county. MARK JUDGES HEAD OF COMMERCIAL

SUSSEX CRICKET FOUNDATION
His contribution to the inauguration of the charity, the recruitment and appointment of an excellent team of Trustees and the development of a strategy for increasing participation in cricket in Sussex, whilst delivering a programme of health and education benefits, was immense. Without David Bowden, the Sussex Cricket Foundation would not have come into existence, it is through his leadership that Sussex Cricket has the opportunity to lead the way in both the provision of Community Cricket and of links between all forms of cricket in this historic cricketing county. We are all extremely grateful to David for his immense hard work and inspiration on behalf of cricket in Sussex. I am very pleased to have been appointed to succeed David as Chair of the Foundation and am enjoying working with people from across the county to help create passion for
cricket in Sussex. It is particularly pleasing to report that, in 2017, against the national trend of decline in participation in team sports in the UK, there was a 1% increase in cricket matches played in Sussex, continuing rapid growth in the development of the women’s game, very effective implementation of the ECB’s All Stars Cricket programme, with 1,400 5-8 year-old boys and girls playing in this format, and 3,750 different participants in a variety of forms of disability cricket in the county. Under John Abbott’s leadership, we have had another successful year of fundraising with over £80,000 contributed to the Foundation through a variety of methods including the SCF Vice Presidents who each make annual charitable donations of at least £1,000, the SCF six-a-side competition which culminated so memorably in finals day at The 1st Central County Ground for eight clubs under floodlights in September and won by West Chiltington, the Ton Up Club and through good support at a range of events held across the county. The Foundation has again ensured the full delivery of its commitment to the maintenance and further development of the outstanding Blackstone Academy Ground, sponsored by Hurstpierpoint College, and it is especially pleasing that this has resulted in the playing of a record number of matches at the ground with continued excellent feedback from players, their parents and our opponents. The main purpose of all our fundraising activity is to provide this wonderful facility to develop young cricketers of all abilities and I would encourage any supporter of Sussex Cricket who has not visited Blackstone to find your way there this summer. It is a glorious venue and you will be able to watch some top-level cricket played by stars of the future. The Foundation is responsible for the governance and management of all recreational cricket, including the league structures, and I am
delighted to take the opportunity to congratulate East Grinstead who, under the excellent leadership of Will Adkin, won the Sussex Premier League and reached the semi-final of the National Knockout Cup. Hearty congratulations also to St Peters, who won the Parkers Building Supplies East Sussex League, Littlehampton, who won the West Sussex Invitation League, and Ashdown Forest who were the HJ Stoner Mid Sussex League Champions. 2018 will be an exciting year in the long history of league cricket in Sussex as we begin the implementation of one league structure for adult cricket in Sussex. We believe that we have responded to feedback from clubs and players across the county in the creation of this league with the specific aim of integrating the existing leagues to aid the reduction of travel time for players to and from matches. It was very pleasing to see a tweet from Scaynes Hill CC who have calculated that in 2017 their first team travelled 161 miles to matches but in 2018 this will be reduced to just 63. This has been possible because of the creation of central Sussex divisions formed of clubs from all three of the feeder leagues. Gary Stanley, who chairs the Adult Leagues Group which oversees league cricket in Sussex, has worked tirelessly with a superb group of volunteers on this and it will be very interesting to hear feedback from clubs and players so that we are able to provide exactly what they want from league cricket. Whilst it is invidious to pick out individuals I would like to take the opportunity to thank Malcolm Page from Lindfield CC, Bill Anthony of the Mid Sussex League, and Peter Crees of the East Sussex League who have all been particularly helpful during this work. I would also like to record publicly our gratitude to Derek Barnard who this year stands down as Chair of the East Sussex League after many years of absolute dedication to the importance of providing well-run league cricket in Sussex. We are lucky to … SUSSEX CRICKET FOUNDATION

STRONGER TOGETHER 1ST CENTRAL is the proud ground sponsor of Sussex Cricket and partner of the Sussex Cricket Foundation. With offices based in the heart of Sussex we are avid followers of the team and were delighted when the opportunity arose to be part of their journey. We were attracted by the club’s ethos and long-standing history, as well as their strong community spirit that revolves around inspiring a passion for cricket. Their commitment to nurturing young people who display great talent and the drive to succeed in following their dreams resonates entirely with our own values which is why our partnership works so well. With Jason Gillespie at the helm and what many are calling the best bowling line-up in T20 cricket, we’re sure 2018 is going to be a great success. We look forward to a fantastic year of cricket at The 1ST CENTRAL County Ground and we wish Sussex the best of luck.

… have so many outstanding people volunteering across the county and are very grateful to them all. The main objective for recreational cricket in 2017 was to maintain the number of participants playing the game at all levels, against a national decline in participation in team sports. In this respect 5,796 matches were played in the reporting year in comparison to the previous year’s total of 5,927 representing a decrease of 2%, which is mainly attributed to weather impacts on league cricket, only 85% of scheduled fixtures were completed against 96%, 89% and 87 % in the three preceding years. An important area of growth in participation has been in midweek club matches which have grown from 391 matches played in 2015-16 to 538 matches played in 2016-17. This reflects the huge importance of the cutely named friendly cricket in Sussex and I am especially grateful to Simon Wood, of Brighton and Hove Crescent CC, who provides great leadership and consistent help to clubs across the county in this crucial area of our game. Hugh Milner continues to lead the provision of seniors’ cricket in Sussex with outstanding dedication. During the 2017 season, no fewer than seven senior teams regularly took the field against other counties and it was very good to see our new Chief Executive playing for the Over-50s team, where his colleagues reached the national cup semi-final losing narrowly to Leicestershire on a hot summer’s day in the lee of the King Power stadium. In 2018 there are plans to play one of the Over 50s county matches at The 1st Central County Ground. Recreational cricket in Sussex relies on the support of 7,000 volunteers all of whom share the passion for cricket, and the Foundation has galvanised their enthusiasm by instituting local action groups and associations to help tackle local issues and plan for the future. With SCF support, the Sussex Association of Cricket Officials, the Sussex Association of Groundsman and the Sussex Association of Cricket Coaches meet regularly to
deliver infrastructure support to clubs. This year, we have 128 groundsman members, 325 umpires and scorers and 358 coaches association members. I would like to congratulate Matt French, who does so much good work for the Umpires Association, on his recent appointment as a D List Umpire which is another important step on the journey from umpiring in the playground to umpiring in a Test match. In total, 20,000 children were introduced to the game in schools (16,000 in 2015-16). Where children are introduced to cricket clubs, 80% chose to stay, play and ultimately join the club, in order to continue and develop their cricketing experience. The ECB All Stars Cricket programme has been very successfully implemented in Sussex with 1,400 boys and girls aged 5-8 enjoying their first experience of cricket at 49 centres across the county. Approximately 283 women’s cricket matches took place during the summer (232 in 2015-16), and, in line with the ECB strategy to increase further participation in women’s cricket, several successful softball festivals were organised across the county, including a memorable day at The 1st Central County Ground. …

… Some 3,750 disabled participants (a 235% increase from 1,600 in 2015-16) have taken part in cricket through eight local area hubs covering a variety of special needs, including deaf and visually impaired. SCF has encouraged vulnerable groups to enjoy the benefits of cricket and in areas of deprivation, hubs were set up delivering over 700 hours of street cricket across the county. Cricket has a unique place within the community and is rich in cultural history and positive reputation. The Sussex Cricket Foundation is committed to supporting the wider community through the delivery of Education and Health Initiatives and our key priorities for 2017 have included employability, childhood obesity, inactivity, social isolation, wellbeing and mental health. 2017 saw significant growth in our flagship ‘No Boundaries’ employability programmes with six new programmes being delivered at five locations. Thirty-one lone parents were supported in Horsham and Haywards Heath with 40% moving into employment. Twenty unemployed adults from Brighton and Hove achieved Level 2 vocational qualifications with a 100% achievement rate, and 42 adults who were long term unemployed or on health-related benefits were supported through our Bognor and Newhaven projects. Programmes include employability workshops, vocational qualifications and confidence building activities, together with one-to-one guidance and support. Retention on programmes, ranging from 86-96%, has exceeded all targets. As we explore further funding avenues we hope to see the programmes continue to grow to support those most at need within our communities. In addition to No Boundaries we have offered a number of new partnership projects during 2017, targeting primary, secondary and post-16 age groups offering engagement, vocational and career development opportunities. The Foundation recognises the significant impact that cricket has in the community, through its various activities and stakeholders, in support
of increasing activity levels, promoting healthy lifestyles and improving health. This year we carried out 40 health checks at county matches with a view to identify underlying health concerns and we reached 300 spectators at county games, sharing preventative messages about cancers. We engaged over 40 adults in specialist mental and physical health yoga workshops, and over 700 primary school children took part in ‘Healthy Mind, Healthy Body’ workshops exploring personal safety and the benefits of healthy lifestyles. This year also saw us achieve a significant grant from Hastings and Rother CCG, enabling us to develop our walking cricket project in 2018 which will tackle inactivity and social isolation in the elderly. We are also planning to develop significantly the help that we offer those in the community suffering with dementia. Finally, I would like to express my huge thanks to Ed Joyce, who has pledged 20% of his testimonial fund to support the work of the Sussex Cricket Foundation. We are very much looking forward to supporting his events and to using them to ensure that people across the county understand the great work done in the pursuit of creating passion for cricket. I look forward to seeing Sussex Cricket members both at cricket of all types across the county and at Ed’s testimonial events in 2018. JON FILBY CHAIRMAN OF TRUSTEES, SUSSEX CRICKET FOUNDATION

WOMEN’S CRICKET
Kia Super League Finals Day at Hove was a resounding success and returns to the 1st Central County Ground in 2018.
The 2017 season was one of change for Sussex Women and Girls county cricket. Having been the Sussex Women’s Cricket Association for several decades, the Sussex Women and Girls teams became part of the Performance Cricket department of Sussex Cricket. Sussex also had a new coach in former men’s professional James Anyon.

WOMEN’S CRICKET
Sussex also had a venue that they could call home and where they were able to train in new state of the art facilities at the Sir Rod Aldridge Cricket Centre at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy. Not only does it have three net lanes but also a gym that the players use. Having a permanent base has given the coaches an opportunity to really develop the girls further thanks to the excellent facilities on offer. Thanks to the continued sponsorship and support from the Aldridge Foundation, Sussex now have their own girls Academy and Emerging Players Programme (EPP). This allows girls who are on the brink of England or regional development programmes to have regular one-to-one coaching from Sussex coaches on a weekly basis and also take part in sessions with the strength and conditioning coach to manage their physical development. These dedicated programmes are a first for any county in the country. Five players from the Academy and EPP made their debut for Sussex in 2017. It wasn’t the season that Sussex had hoped for in 50-over cricket. After 16 years in Division One of the Royal London One Day Championship, they were relegated after finishing in the bottom two. The campaign didn’t start well, with all England and England Academy players unable to play and many others ruled out by injury. Sussex were unable to reach 100 in their first two matches before coming back strongly at Eastbourne against Yorkshire. This was followed by a convincing win against Lancashire at the inaugural match at the Sir Rod Aldridge Cricket Centre. Sussex’s fate came down to the last weekend of the competition when they needed to beat Berkshire and Middlesex to survive. They defeated Berkshire at The 1st Central County Ground, but the following day Middlesex were just too strong. After Middlesex scored 259, Sussex were bowled out for 169 and relegation was confirmed. However, the women did excel in the NatWest T20 League and were in with a chance of taking
the title ahead of the final weekend of games, having lost just twice until then. Unfortunately, the weather played a massive part in deciding Sussex’s fate with the games against Berkshire and Somerset both rained off leaving Sussex in third place. There were a number of highlights though, including debuts for nine players with all but two coming through our age group system. The Sussex girls’ squads had a successful season. The under-17s were the pick of the age group sides, winning their league and progressing to the Royal London One Day Cup final against Yorkshire where they narrowly missed out on lifting the trophy. The under-17s only had ten players in the squad and were boosted by under15s who came into the side and showed the depth in talent we have within our age group squads. The under-15s and under-13s did not win their leagues, but both showed huge development as individuals and as teams. The under-12s were the only side in Sussex set-up to not lose a game while the under 11s developed with every game and made their highest ever score in their final match. A good crop of players is coming
through which bodes well for the future of our main women’s team with players as young as 15 pushing for a place in the side. It was an unbelievable season for our three international players, Georgia Elwiss, Sarah Taylor and Danni Wyatt. Congratulations to them and to England on being crowned world champions and doing it in front of a home crowd at Lord’s. Sussex is fast becoming a centre for Women’s Cricket, as demonstrated by the huge success of the Kia Super League finals day at The 1st Central County Ground in August. This year, Sussex will be hosting a women’s one-day international against South Africa as well as welcoming back the Kia Super League finals on August Bank Holiday Monday. For the first time, Hove will also host a Southern Vipers game in the Kia Super League as part of a double header with Sussex men on August 14. CHARLOTTE BURTON WOMEN AND GIRLS’ DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

OBITUARIES
The 10th Duke of Richmond & Gordon was a former President and Patron of the club.
THE 10TH DUKE OF RICHMOND & GORDON Died peacefully at Goodwood on 1st September, aged 87. The Dukes of Richmond have been heavily involved in Sussex cricket for three centuries and Charles Henry GordonLennox (10th Duke) was no exception. He was born on 19th September, 1929, educated at Eton and became President of Sussex County Cricket Club in 1991, often appearing on the top table at AGMs. He held the position for a decade through some troubled times at the club and in 2001 became Club patron and continued in that role until his passing. The 7th Duke had been Club president in 1905. The 10th Duke staged some historic cricket matches at Goodwood, notably the 300th anniversary matches in 2002 and he was a gracious host at a dinner for the Sussex Cricket Museum when Christopher Martin-Jenkins was the guest speaker. A Memorial Service was held at Chichester Cathedral on 25th November 2017.
SIMON JONATHON GRAHAM DOGGART Died peacefully at home at East Wittering on 23rd July, aged 56. Simon was the son of Hubert Doggart (Sussex and England), grandson of AG Doggart (Cambridge University) and nephew of AP Doggart (Sussex). He was a left-handed batsman and off break bowler who was born at Winchester on 8th February 1961 and educated at Winchester and Magdelene College, Cambridge. Whilst playing first-class cricket at Cambridge, he gained his Blue in each of the four years 1980-83 and made a highest score of 70 v Nottinghamshire in 1983. Though he never played for the Sussex 1st XI, Simon played for Sussex 2nd XI in 1979-80, Sussex Young Cricketers 1980 (where he topped

the batting table with an average of 146.00) and Sussex Under 25s between 1980-82. There are two photographs of Simon in the Club’s handbook for 1981 – as a member of the winning Under-25 team and as a member of the Sussex Young Cricketers. In the Sussex II v Surrey II match at Cranleigh in 1980 he dismissed the New Zealand Test captain Geoff Howarth and scored 48. In later life young Doggart followed his father’s example by becoming a successful headmaster. As the handbook went to press, we heard that Hubert Doggart, a former Sussex captain, had died aged 92. A full obituary will appear in next year’s handbook.
CHRISTOPHER PATRICK PYEMONT Who died on 4th May, enjoyed a successful career at Bede’s Preparatory School, Eastbourne, which he joined in 1981. He took over as headmaster from his brother Peter in 1998 and after standing down in 2007 he continued to teach mathematics and games. Born at Etchingham on 17th January 1948 he was educated at Marlborough and Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he obtained his cricket Blue in 1967 and represented Sussex in the Second XI Championship. That year he headed his University’s batting and bowling averages with a highest score of 61 against Tony Lock’s Leicestershire. He was a right-handed
batsman and slow left-arm bowler who also represented his University at hockey. His son, Jamie Pyemont, played for both Sussex and Derbyshire.
CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT WINN Died in London on 2th August, aged 90. He was one of the many gifted University players who graced the Sussex teams of the immediate post-war years and played 15 matches for the county between 1948-52 with a highest score of 71 against Leicestershire at Ashby-de-la-Zouch in 1949. Educated at KCS Wimbledon and Exeter College, Oxford he achieved his cricket Blue in each of the four years 1948-51 with his highest scores being 146* against Free Foresters and 130 v MCC at Lord’s, both in 1950. In addition, he was an outstanding winger at rugby and represented England in eight Test matches between1952-54 scoring three tries. He played for Rosslyn Park where he became the club president. In 1961 he made a last first-class appearance on the cricket field when he turned out for MCC. In 59 first-class matches he scored 2449 runs (average 24.98). Chris Winn married the well-known athlete Valerie Ball and was an attender at the former players’ lunches hosted by Sussex CCC. A memorial service was held at St Luke’s Church, Kew on 2nd October 2017. ROGER PACKHAM

SUSSEX CRICKET SOCIETY
Former England fast bowler Phil De Freitas was among the Cricket Society guest speakers during the winter
So, what does it do for me? I hear the cry go up around the county, nay the country: “What is the Sussex Cricket Society?” It may have been around for over 50 years with close connections to the county club, it may have been inspired by founding Patron, the all-rounder Alan Oakman, but what does it do for me? Well, not even Ben Brown can stump me in giving the Wright answers to these vital questions. The Society is one of a network of similar groups associated with English counties and has, as its stated purpose, ‘to further cricket interest and enthusiasm.’ Well, we all want to do that, don’t we, so how does our Society promote the game for Sussex cricket lovers? Unless one travels to foreign climes, the worst time for cricket fans has to be the winter. One can peruse old Wisdens or catch up on reading last year’s new cricket books. One can watch old
matches on YouTube. One can dream about that six you hit on a balmy evening in May, circa 1981. But, best of all, you can come to The 1st Central County Ground for entertaining presentations by past and present cricketers and others with an interest in the game. The Society arranges a programme of speakers at lunches and evening meetings throughout the winter months. Recent meetings were addressed by Rob Andrew and Paul Horton of Leicestershire CCC. We have also started holding afternoon meetings, the first of which was an hilarious talk by the actor and Sussex supporter Michael Simkins. The past year has seen a vigorous programme of Autumn and Spring lunches, speaking engagements and the usual Garden Party, held this year in May during the Championship match against Durham which, coincidentally, Sussex won by an innings and 177 runs. Speakers addressing the Society included Dick Holste following last year’s AGM, Chris Cowdrey from Kent and England, the well-known cricket author Stephen Chalke and Phil De Freitas of England, Leicestershire, Lancashire and Derbyshire who gave a very witty account of his time in cricket. The Society expects to continue this entertaining programme in 2018. But, as President Kennedy, said “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” In our own little way, the Society helps cricket in Sussex by making a donation towards the expenses of the Sussex Academy tour during the winter and by voting for the county’s popular Player of the Year. New members are most welcome. Details can be found at www.scs.councilcricketsocieties.com or by contacting our Membership Secretary, Chris Scovell, on 01798 875597. DAVID HARRISON SECRETARY

SPECSAVERS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW 2017
Luke Wells is congratulated by Luke Wright after his 258 against Durham.
The components appear to be in place for new Head Coach Jason Gillespie to lead a successful promotion challenge in 2018, as long as Sussex learn the lessons of the last two campaigns.

SPECSAVERS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS REVIEW 2017
Simply put, they have to be more consistent. In 2017, when they again finished fourth in Division Two, Sussex won seven games – as many as promoted Nottinghamshire and three more than they managed in 2016. They picked up four more points but there were five defeats compared to two the previous season. At times, Sussex played with the swagger reminiscent of the Championship-winning teams of a decade ago. They twice beat promoted Worcestershire and also did the double over relegated Durham. It’s also fair to say that the fixture schedule in the ten-county division did them few favours. They ended up playing three of the top five counties – Notts, Worcestershire and Kent - twice and the other, Northamptonshire, away but played three of the bottom five once. Injuries didn’t help either. What turned out to be Steve Magoffin’s final season with the county featured 27 overs across two games, although he still managed to take one final fivefor before an Achilles injury ended his summer. While the emergence of Jofra Archer and solid a contribution with the ball by Chris Jordan partly negated Magoffin’s absence, at some stage during the season Luke Wells, Luke Wright, Chris Nash and Ben Brown – Sussex’s four most experienced batsmen in English conditions – missed matches. Outgoing coach Mark Davis refused to use that as an excuse when he reviewed the campaign and rightly so. Every team has injuries to contend with. What he probably didn’t envisage having to cope with when the season started was trying to form a relationship with four different captains. Luke Wright gave no indication at the start of the summer that he was thinking of resigning after just one full season in the job, but by the end of May he’d had his fill of the twin responsibilities of scoring runs and leading the team. Significantly, in his first game back in the ranks Wright compiled his first Championship hundred since September 2015 and first at Hove for two years as day-night
cricket came to Sussex – and was met with a muted response. Chris Nash led the side to victory over Worcestershire while the hierarchy debated a permanent replacement before opting to give the job to vice-captain Ben Brown. Although Brown had a modest season with the bat – 483 runs compared to 854 in 2016 – he led the side enthusiastically and was never afraid to try something different. A run of five wins in six games lifted Sussex into promotion contention but a poor start had left them playing catch up. They lost their opening two games against Kent and Nottinghamshire and it wasn’t until the third week in May before they got a win under their belts, a thumping success over Durham when Wells, back after knee surgery, compiled the second double-hundred of his career in the fifth biggest total in Sussex’s history. Nash led the side to victory over Worcestershire at the start of June and although rain and bad light frustrated their victory push against Gloucestershire under the lights, the momentum seemed to be building. The first day of the match drew a crowd similar to the number who would have attended had it been a Sunday rather than Monday start and included 600 local schoolchildren. The weather on the next three days wasn’t great and as many people left after 5pm as arrived with elderly members worried about getting home safely in the dark. When play ended shortly after 10pm on the third day there were 31 spectators in the ground. The players reported that the pink ball got softer more quickly than its red counterpart while the loss of more than 150 overs left the captains colluding over a late-night pint in the Sussex Cricketer to come up with a last-day target for Gloucestershire of 351 in 75 overs. They lost six wickets in two sessions but batted out for a draw. Two wins over Leicestershire – one a real struggle, the other in the Arundel sunshine relatively straightforward – was followed during
the T20 campaign by an excellent victory at New Road where Nash, now batting at No.5, made his first century of the season and Sussex won by nine wickets after Worcestershire followed on. It also turned out to be his last for Sussex. When the Championship campaign resumed at the end of August Ollie Robinson made an auspicious return to the side after struggling to overcome shin splints. As well as seven wickets at Colwyn Bay against Glamorgan he made a priceless 41 not out, most of them in the company of last man Danny Briggs, to guide his side to their first one-wicket win since May 2015 when Jordan’s unbeaten half-century saw off Warwickshire at Hove. Five wins out of six should have put Sussex right in the promotion frame, but Notts and Worcestershire had been just as consistent. The division had effectively become two mini leagues of five with nearly 100 points separating top from sixth by the end of the season. Sussex could not afford any mistakes but two terrible days at Northampton effectively ended their hopes. The hosts rattled up 426 after being put in and Sussex folded to 172 and had to follow on. The last five second-innings wickets added 200 but Northants won by six wickets to keep their own hopes alive. If Sussex headed back down the M1 thinking their race was run they knew it for sure a few days later when Derbyshire’s South African quick Hardus Viljoen took 15 wickets – the best match haul at Hove since 1948 – as Sussex lost 7 for 77 in the final session and were beaten by 45 runs. At least the campaign ended on a positive note. Wells captained the side to victory at Durham and in the finale against Nottinghamshire at Hove, Michael Burgess – deputising for the injured Brown – staked his claim as a batsman with a maiden hundred and Chris Read, the Nottinghamshire captain, brought down the curtain on his 20-year career with the 26th hundred of his career. …

Ross Whiteley is bowled neck and crop by Jofra Archer during the innings win over promoted Worcestershire.
… Archer hoovered up the end-of-season awards which was little surprise. He played in all but one game across the three competitions and took 61 Championship wickets. There were some memorable cameos with the bat too as he hinted at becoming a genuine all-rounder. His absence, and that of Jordan, at the start of this season because of IPL commitments will be sorely felt but India’s Ishant Sharma looks the ideal short-term replacement. Wells had an outstanding summer, finishing leading run-scorer in Division Two with 1292 from 12 games at 64.60. He added consistency to his undoubted technical ability and the news that both he and Archer had extended their contracts was greeted enthusiastically by Sussex 38
SPECSAVERS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS REVIEW 2017
supporters. Stiaan van Zyl grew into his first season in England and also passed 1,000 runs but it wasn’t often that Sussex were able to field the same side for successive games. In total 24 players were used in the search for a winning blend but 11 of those played four games or fewer. Gillespie will have done his homework. With Warwickshire and Middlesex coming down the standard in Division Two will be as high as ever in 2017 and Sussex will need to hit the ground running if they are to avoid the frustrations of the last two years and reclaim the place in the top flight which their supporters covet. BRUCE TALBOT
A nice moment on the final day of the 2017 season as Sussex players and coaches applaud Nottinghamshire’s Chris Read off the field before his retirement.

CARDIFF MCCU REPORT

SUSSEX V SOUTH AFRICA A A young Sussex side trounced the tourists in glorious Arundel sunshine with a session to spare. Although Delray Rawlins fell agonisingly short of his hundred, Danny Briggs made a career-best 120 on the second day while debutant Jonty Jenner chipped in with 68. A total of 458 looked formidable but the pitch was great for batting so South Africa’s demise was hard to fathom. They certainly lacked the spark shown by a relatively young Sussex side. Will Beer bowled superbly to take 11 for 91 in the match and was ably supported when South Africa followed on by Abi Sakande, who took five wickets and bowled with good rhythm on a slow pitch. Sussex enjoyed a thumping win over South Africa A and Arundel looked at its best.

NATWEST T20 BLAST REVIEW 2017
He flies through the air … George Garton is a photographer’s dream as he hits the crease hard and puts everything into his delivery.
0.68 of a run. In the end, the flimsiest of margins was all that stood between Sussex and a place in the knockout stages of the NatWest T20 Blast for the first time since 2014. Sharks fans quickly took to social media to moan about Hampshire’s embarrassing capitulation to Somerset in the final round of games, which enabled Somerset to squeeze through at Sussex’s expense, but what happened at the Ageas Bowl ought to have been an irrelevance. The Sharks won five of their 14 games, fewer than any of the quarter-finalists so neutrals could argue that justice was done. Glamorgan topped the group despite four no-results while Sussex were hit by the rain on three occasions – at the Swalec, early in the campaign at Cheltenham when they were well placed against Gloucestershire, and also at Hove when an excellent bowling performance against Middlesex 64
NATWEST BLAST T20 REVIEW 2017
counted for nought – well, one point to be precise – after rain arrived. A campaign where Sussex’s fortunes oscillated wildly featured two games which they should have won but ended up with one point instead of four. In a rain-affected contest against Kent at the 1st Central County Ground midway through the campaign Sussex were cruising towards a DL-adjusted target of 88 in eight overs after a 90-minute rain delay. Eight runs were needed off the final over and Kent took a big gamble entrusting it to Mitch Claydon, whose only other over had cost 18 runs. But Claydon held his nerve, conceding just six from the first five deliveries and when Laurie Evans turned to try and complete a
second run to win the match he was beaten by a brilliant direct hit from Alex Blake on the long-on boundary. Sussex ended up with one point from a tie. But that was nothing compared to Lord’s under the lights where a sell-out crowd at least got a thrilling finish even if much of the cricket which preceded it on a slow, low pitch rarely had them on the edge of their seats. With five runs needed off the final over and three wickets in hand Sussex were not quite cruising but in control. However, Jofra Archer swung at the first two balls from Toby Helm and failed to connect. He was caught in the deep off the third but that at least enabled David Wiese to get on strike. He took two runs off the fourth ball to leave three needed off two but failed to score off either of them. Helm bowled a brilliant over but Mark Davis’s opening gambit at the postmatch press conference said it all. “How did we not win that?” Hundreds of Sussex fans had filed away from Lord’s a few minutes earlier expressing similar sentiments. Having been on the end of a brilliant century by Colin Ingram in the opener against Glamorgan, played in front of nearly 6,000 at a sweltering Arundel Castle, before losing to Hampshire at Hove three days later Sussex always seemed to be playing catch-up. At the halfway stage they had only won once – a surprisingly easy success over Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl where Jofra Archer’s career-best 4 for 18 set up a six-wicket victory. It was one win in eight after an unsatisfactory conclusion at Taunton where Sussex had to chase a DL target of 103 in pouring rain, with players on both sides barely able to keep their feet, and came up 32 runs short. Not for the first time, an impressive win over old rivals Surrey kicked Sussex into life. The Sharks won three of their last five including an impressive 55-runs success over Essex in the final game, but even before the conclusion news had filtered through from the Ageas Bowl and Sussex knew their race was run.
After the mid-season captaincy upheaval, Ross Taylor was asked to lead the side. It looked a sensible decision given Taylor’s vast T20 experience but things never really clicked from the moment he mis-read the Arundel pitch and stuck Glamorgan in on what turned out to be a shirt-front. His form with the bat suffered too. 177 runs at under 20 were unbecoming statistics for a player of his talent although he wasn’t the only batsman who posted modest returns. It was left to Chris Nash to hold things together. He made six half-centuries and finished with 520 runs. Only Stiaan van Zyl and Luke Wright passed 50 and then only once each. As was the case in the other competitions, Archer and Chris Jordan were the stand-out bowlers, although Danny Briggs and George Garton deserve honourable mentions. Jordan took 16 wickets and Archer 14 but conditions often precluded Sussex from playing two spinners, which restricted Will Beer’s ability to influence things. The big loss was Tymal Mills, who only played four games because of injury. How Sussex could have done with his fire and brimstone on a more regular basis. With Nash departed and Taylor not coming back, Jason Gillespie has some interesting puzzles to solve if Sussex are to start making an impression again in this format. Gillespie remembers the days when Sussex were the best one-day side in the country. Their 50-over form has shown some signs of improvement but it’s another day out at Edgbaston that Sussex fans hanker after. It will be nine years since Mike Yardy led them to their only T20 title when the 2018 campaign gets underway with three successive away games. Gillespie will have few worries about the bowling attack. All bases appear to be covered and the signing of Afghanistan’s leg spinner Rashid Khan looks to be an exciting addition to the squad.

ROYAL LONDON ONE-DAY CUP REVIEW A crowd of 3,500 enjoyed Sussex’s return to Eastbourne after 17 years.
After just one win in 50 overs cricket since 2014, there were at least signs that Sussex had progressed last year. With the south group qualifiers played in a three-week period at the end of April and early May, and no other competition taking place during that time, the squad were able to focus solely on the format. And while three wins out of eight, together with another failure to reach the knockout stages, might not appear to represent progress the Sharks did improve and were not far away from a quarter-final place. The game that got away was against Gloucestershire at Eastbourne. In all other aspects, the return to the Saffrons after an absence of 17 years was a resounding success. The sun came out and although a chilly sea breeze blew all day it didn’t deter a crowd of 3,500 – bigger than any of the three matches staged at The 1st Central County Ground – which 86
ROYAL LONDON ONE-DAY CUP REVIEW
included a marquee full of happy corporate guests. Sussex were well placed at 169 for 3 with 15 overs to go but on a slow pitch they were pegged back by two former players, Chris Liddle and Tom Smith, the left-arm spinner making a return to the ground where he grew to love the game. Sussex crucially dropped Michael Klinger on 18 during Gloucestershire’s run chase and both he and George Hankins made half-centuries. Even so, it needed a career-best 64 from just 36 balls of muscular hitting by Jack Taylor to see his side home. It left Sussex needing victory over Hampshire in their final game at the Ageas Bowl and other results had to go their way. In the event, they didn’t even get on the field because of rain – the
Sussex’s return to the Saffrons was a resounding success and they return in 2018.
second washout Sussex suffered along with the game at Lord’s, although they were probably glad to share the spoils against Middlesex after being set 342 to win. Momentum was picked up during a run of three successive victories. After Stiaan van Zyl’s chanceless 96 in the win over Glamorgan at Hove – only Sussex’s second victory in 18 50-over games – the campaign was given lift-off by a spectacular innings from Laurie Evans at Canterbury. Evans was recruited from Warwickshire principally because of his ability to produce this sort of destructive batting, although not even Evans had anticipated this sort of early dividend. Coming in at 123 for 3 in pursuit of 332 for victory, the 29-year-old made an unbeaten 134 from 86 balls with eight sixes and nine fours. Harry Finch’s 80 in the match-winning stand should not be overlooked. Sussex won with two overs to spare and Evans had a place in the county’s record books. It was the fastest one-day hundred by a Sussex no.5 in history, coming off 73 balls. A third win in five days came against Surrey, who had all their big guns on show at Hove two days later but left well beaten by 95 runs. Finch, Chris Nash and debutant Michael Burgess, who was called into the team when Ben Brown broke a finger against Kent, all made significant contributions. As it turned out Sussex would have qualified
had they won one more game. In their next match at Chelmsford they suffered more frustration. Jerome Taylor took a televised hat-trick which reduced Essex to 19 for 3 before hundreds by Alastair Cook and Ryan ten Doeschate lifted their side to 295 for 7. At 231 for 7 Sussex were struggling before a violent cameo by Jofra Archer, who hit 45 off 22 balls, kept the flame flickering. But no one could give him the required support and Sussex lost by ten runs. Five batsmen scored more than 200 runs with Evans’ sensational effort against Kent lifting him to the top of the batting averages. David Wiese, who bowled with admirable consistency throughout the group stages, led the wickettakers with 11, Archer, on nine, was not far behind. Spinners Danny Briggs and Will Beer found little to assist them in early-season pitches but did offer consistent control. Eight players took part in all seven games that started. That suggested that Sussex knew what the core of their best team was. The good news for 2018 is that seven will be available again. It will be interesting to see how new Head Coach Jason Gillespie approaches the tournament. At least, after three years when Sussex barely made a ripple in 50 overs cricket, Gillespie will have something to work with. BRUCE TALBOT

SUSSEX SHARKS V SOUTH AFRICA A patient Hove crowd were rewarded with some spectacular hitting from South Africa’s Quinton de Kock as they warmed up for the ODI series against England with a comfortable victory over Sussex. The game was reduced to 32 overs a side by morning rain before de Kock’s unbeaten 108 from 74 balls helped power South Africa to 289 for 4 on a great pitch for batting. Former Sussex all-rounder Wayne Parnell (61 off 42 balls) and JP Duminy’s 68 from 46 added to Sussex’s problems.

SUSSEX SHARKS V SOUTH AFRICA
Chris Nash and Luke Wells, playing his first game of the season, were undone by Kagiso Rabada’s searing pace but from 5 for 2 Sussex recovered some respectability thanks to Harry Finch’s 61 and good contributions by Phil Salt and Delray Rawlins.
Umpires: Billy Taylor and Neil Mallender Toss: Sussex who chose to field Scorers: Mike Charman and Graham Irwin Result: South Africa won by 66 runs (match reduced to 32 overs per side due to rain) Tour Match (50 overs per side)

2ND XI REVIEW
Last season was one of progression individually and as a group for the 2nd XI. As a team, winning the ECB 2nd XI T20 title was the highlight of the year and we narrowly missed out on qualification to the one-day finals. In championship cricket, we started the season steadily and improved in all aspects as it progressed. CHAMPIONSHIP CRICKET Individually, we had several players who went on to play in the 1st XI. Michael Burgess impressed when Ben Brown missed periods of the season with injury and made a maiden first class hundred in Sussex’s final match of the season against Nottinghamshire. Phil Salt plundered his highest ever 2nd XI score of 178 in challenging conditions at Panteg 102
SECOND XI REVIEW
against Glamorgan while Abi Sakande produced his bowling best figures of 6-96 against Kent at Polo Farm. Stu Whittingham was the leading wicket-taker in 2nd XI cricket around the country with 30 wickets averaging 22.26 while Ollie Robinson was close to the form that saw him earn a new contract after his first season at the club and he finished the season in the first team. Will Beer batted up the order during the year and responded by making a gritty 155 at Blackstone in the first match of the season, and was always a threat with the ball in hand. These guys all earned call ups for the first team throughout the year. Academy graduate (and now contracted
player) Tom Haines showed what he has in his locker by scoring a well-made century. Tom has a good temperament for Championship cricket and I expect him to build on this in 2018. Angus Robson was a rock at the top of the order averaging a shade under 50 and he went on to play for the first team later in the season, but was unable to secure a contract with the club. ONE DAY CUP One-day cricket is an area that as a club we are working on, as results are below the level we’d like them to be. It’s clear we need to post more runs; therefore, more individual hundreds are required. Only one player scored a oneday century for the seconds in 2017 and Phil Salt actually scored two and will feel in a strong position to push his claim for a first-team place in 2018. In 2017, Beer, Robson, Burgess, Danny Briggs and trialist Nick Welsh made one half-century apiece. For us to compete in one-day cricket across the club, we need to improve this statistic and convert more fifties in hundreds. This will be an area to work on in 2018. With the ball, Sakande and Whittingham were the leading wicket takers with seven each but overall our bowlers didn’t create enough chances throughout the innings. The job of the 2nd XI players is to keep putting pressure on those in the first team and this season could present a great opportunity, based on how the first team have done in recent seasons and with Chris Nash leaving and creating a vacancy at the top of the order. T20 Any given T20 match can sometimes be a lottery but over the course of the season the table doesn’t lie. Chance had nothing to do with how the seconds got to finals day at Arundel Castle and went on to win it convincingly! At times, watching from the side, it felt like I was watching a first team operate in the field: the movement into position between overs, the
catching, diving stops, bowlers bowling to plans, batsmen picking the right time to explode and choosing who to take down bearing in mind conditions. Five batsmen had a Batting Index (BI), which combines average and strike rate, of 150 plus: Robson (184), Jonty Jenner (177), Rawlins (158), Burgess (160) and Luke Wells (151). Beer (15), trialist Alex Woodland (15), Ajmal Shahzad (17), Robinson (22) all had a bowling index (average + economy rate) under 25. These numbers indicate we were strong with bat and ball, this combined with our focus and energy in the field undoubtedly shortened the odds of any match considered a lottery. Delray Rawlins played a brilliantly timed innings, with four fours and three sixes, against Hampshire at Newclose, Isle of Wight, picking the right moment to accelerate. Left-arm seamer Adam Barton, from Hastings, impressed in the format too. He broke his wrist early in the season while batting against Kent at Polo Farm, worked hard and returned to the side for the second half of the season. He produced a man of the match performance in the T20 final by taking 3 for 9 off 3.3 overs. Numerous individuals this year have taken steps closer to becoming a first team player. We will continue to build on skill levels, game plans and overall consistency to achieve this. JASON SWIFT 2ND XI COACH
