FROM THE EDITOR CONTENTS It is a pleasure to present the 2019 edition of the Sussex Handbook, the 12th I have edited.
With the landscape of domestic cricket altering rapidly, and even greater change in store in 2020, it’s reassuring that some things largely stay the same. In this age of viral communication, with video clips, scorecards, blogs and any number of views on the game of cricket available in an instant, it’s gratifying that Rob Andrew and the management team at Sussex still see the worth in producing a handbook, not only as a record of another season but also as a way of providing more detail on the county’s activities, on and off the field. The team behind the handbook deserve an honourable mention. Sam Keir at Sussex not only cast an eye over the proofs but also chased up the contributors – we nearly got everything in by deadline! Gavin Graimes and Chris Hewitt and Oliver & Graimes have done another professional job on its design. I’m also grateful to Alison McCreedy, Steve Lawrence, Phil Barnes and Getty Images for the pictures. On the pitch it was a pretty memorable season, culminating in a wonderful Vitality Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston. I hope our photographs capture the highs of the summer. Finally, my thanks to Paul Elford and Nick Sharp for compiling (and proof-reading) the scorecards and to Norman Epps, who has once again done a solid job with our records section.

BOB WARREN
Our first season with Jason Gillespie in charge proved to be very successful in changing the atmosphere, not only in the dressing room but throughout the organisation. I believe that our Performance Cricket management team of Rob Andrew, Keith Greenfield and Jason, with the relatively recent addition of Richard Halsall as Academy Director, is one of the strongest in the country.

CHAIRMAN
We mustn’t forget the people who make it possible for us enjoy the cricket we provide all over Sussex. I would like to thank our leadership team for the way they run our organisation in such a friendly and efficient way. Led by our Chief Executive, Rob Andrew, they are: Ian Waring, Keith Greenfield, Mark Judges, Tony Cottey, Sandra Hill, Kay Gunn, Andy Mackay, Chris Coleman, Sean Heal, Sam Keir and Laura Walford. FINANCE Overall, the organisation managed to bring the overheads in on budget. Our financial loss is lower than expected because of the income we received from the Vitality Blast Finals Day and the second concert, which wasn’t included in the original budget. We expect to move into surplus for the next six years. ECB Our negotiations with the ECB have been long and at times arduous. However, we now have some clarity regarding the new Hundred competition and know how the domestic season will look from 2020. We are still waiting for the financial information in respect of The Hundred, however. This is very important because this competition is owned by the 18 First Class counties and MCC. Hopefully, by the time you read this report, we will be in possession of the new County Partnership Agreement. This agreement will determine the financial relationship between the ECB and the counties for 2020-24. There have been many consultations with the ECB and we are hopeful the outcome will be fruitful. PROFESSIONAL CRICKET Keith and Jason have given a more thorough review of last year in their articles, but I think professional cricket had a good 2018. In the Specsavers County Championship there were many outstanding performances, particularly from our younger players. Captain Ben Brown set a fine example with the bat and we saw seven players score at least one hundred. Ollie Robinson and
Jofra Archer were exceptional with the ball, with good support from Danny Briggs and David Wiese, who also impressed with the bat. My personal highlight came in the game at Arundel against Durham when 21-year-old Phil Salt and 19-year-old Tom Haines both made their maiden first-class hundreds. We narrowly missed out on promotion. The defining matter for me was losing Stiaan van Zyl to injury in May. We are very hopeful that Stiaan will be fully fit in 2019. His experience, coupled with our talented youngsters having a year of first-team cricket behind them, leads me to feel optimistic about the season ahead. In the Vitality Blast, we had an excellent season and made it to the final. Laurie Evans – the tournament’s leading run-scorer - Phil Salt and Luke Wright were superb with the bat, and Luke also excelled as captain. Our overseas player Rashid Khan – who will be back this summer - was the tournament’s star bowler and was ably backed up by Jofra Archer and Danny Briggs. Laurie also topped the club’s run-scorers in the Royal London One-Day Cup and Harry Finch, David Wiese and Luke Wright scored more than 200 runs each. Our standout bowlers were Ollie Robinson and Danny Briggs. I would also like to thank Jason Swift, who progressed to become Jason Gillespie’s assistant, and Mike Yardy, whose impact as 2nd XI batting coach should not be underestimated. WOMEN AND GIRLS It was a very successful 2018 for our women’s and girls’ teams. Sussex Women were promoted back into the top division of the Championship and were runners-up in the T20 competition. Our under-15s reached the finals of their one-day competition. Nine Sussex players were selected to play in the Kia Super League and four - Sarah Taylor, Georgia Elwiss, Danni Wyatt and Linsey Smith have all represented England. In addition, Freya Davies has been given an England contract and 15-year-old Ella McCaughan was selected for the
England academy. In October 2018, we had a record number of more than 180 girls nominated for county assessments from under-11 to under-17 level. With this increase in the numbers of talented girls, we now have two sides at under-11, 13, 15 and 17 agegroup level. THE SUSSEX CRICKET ACADEMY We have transformed the way we coach and identify talent in our young cricketers, particularly in the 9-12 year-old age range and, under the leadership of Academy Director Richard Halsall, we are extending this initiative to take in older age groups. More than 500 boys and girls now move through the programme and we have the ability to track and develop them in conjunction with the other stakeholders involved. A new app and secure player management system has been developed that will enable tagging of data that immediately uploads to the player’s individual folder and informs all the relevant people connected to him or her - parents, club coach, school coaches/teacher - of their progress. SUSSEX CRICKET FOUNDATION The important work of the Sussex Cricket Foundation is covered by Chris elsewhere. It is important to remember that the Foundation is responsible for overseeing all aspects of Sussex cricket except those covered by the Performance Cricket department, and so is of massive importance to the wider organisation. I’d like to draw particular attention to some of the projects Chris and his team are involved in. Our Street Cricket programme brings cricket to young people in urban areas and uses the game to increase aspiration, promote social cohesion and create opportunities in diverse communities. Our disability work continues to thrive with over 1,000 young people and adults experiencing regular cricket provision in 2018 with funding secured to expand this in 2019. Last year, our Chance to Shine work saw over 7,000 kids complete the schools programme and an CHAIRMAN

Rashid Khan will be back to spearhead our challenge for T20 honours
independent audit noted how much improvement has been made and how we could now be held up as an example of best practice to other counties. The All Stars Programme ended with 1,600 kids being involved in Sussex. We are planning to increase this number to 2,600 this year linked to the ICC World Cup and a better aligned Chance to Shine schools’ programme. LEAGUE AND RECREATIONAL CRICKET The fully constituted formation of the new Sussex Cricket League was a major step forward in both management of league administration and providing cricket that the players wish to play. The league is made up of 34 divisions and has over 340 teams, making it the biggest adult cricket 6
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
league in the world. We have aligned branding of the new league with the wider Sussex Cricket organisation and the new league logo will be printed on all the match balls. We have brought all club communications into the Sussex Cricket CRM system, allowing us to communicate more smartly with our clubs and players. There are about 95 clubs who do not play league cricket and we need to ensure that we give these clubs as much support as possible. They are all part of the Sussex cricket family. We are also beginning the process of reviewing our junior league offering and we will be taking a similar approach as that adopted for our seniors. This review is planned for 2019 with implementation in 2020. VOLUNTEERS Throughout our organisation we are indebted to our volunteers. In recreational cricket it is estimated at least 7,000 people are helping at clubs across the county. The value they bring is unquantifiable and we would be much poorer without their input and the time they give to our great game. Many thanks to all of them. NOMINATIONS Our previous President John Abbott retired at the AGM. John has been an amazing President and will be a very hard act to follow. I’m delighted that Sir Rod Aldridge was elected as his successor at the AGM. Sir Rod is a life-long Sussex supporter who, through his foundation, has been a huge supporter of Sussex women and girls’ cricket. I’m also delighted that Richard Barrow was elected as Vice President after standing down from the Board following 25 years’ service. Overall, last year should be considered a success. However, I am confident that the improvement in our fortunes, both on and off the field, will continue. BOB WARREN CHAIRMAN
ROB ANDREW
It’s hard to believe two years have gone by since I started in the role. We have had an incredibly busy time over the last 12 months on all fronts and I will try to give you a flavour of the work we have done and the direction of travel we have set for the next few years. We concluded an interim strategic plan for 2018 and 2019 pending the outcome of the County Partnership Agreement (CPA) with the ECB. Following 12 months of intense consultation the CPA will be concluded in the first half of 2019 which will give certainty for the majority of our income via the ECB for the period 2020 to 2024. The ECB launched their new five-year strategic plan ‘Inspiring Generations’ on 14th January 2019 at a whole game meeting attended by both the First-Class counties and Recreational Assembly. As part of this strategy, the new competition being introduced in 2020 will be a ‘100’ ball tournament as opposed to T20. The venues were announced in 2019 and will be Headingley, Old Trafford, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston, Lord’s, Oval, Southampton and Cardiff. There will also be a women’s tournament
to run alongside the men. As more detail emerges through the CPA process, we will amend our own strategic plan to cover the same five years to give the whole organisation clarity on our priorities for this next phase of the game. We are very clear that our overriding purpose is ‘Inspiring a passion for cricket’. Our shared values across the whole of Sussex Cricket are: Honesty – Respect – Accessibility – Enjoyment – Drive – Selflessness. On the governance side of the organisation we aim to be Sport England Code compliant and to this end we amended our constitution at a Members’ SGM in November 2018. Not only is it the right thing to do from a governance and business perspective it will also become an increasingly important condition regarding future funding from either the ECB or other sources. PERFORMANCE CRICKET The Performance Cricket department has seen significant change over the last 12 months. Keith Greenfield as Director of Cricket has overseen a complete review which covers both men’s and women’s programmes from the pathway and age grade sides all the way to the first teams. Not only were we joined by Jason Gillespie last season but also Richard Halsall joined as our new Academy Director and we have improved and grown our development programme significantly. This is a critical part of our strategy and the development of our own players is fundamental to the longterm sustainability of the club. Alexia Walker has taken over as Head Coach of the women’s team and we wish both our men’s and women’s programmes continued success in 2019. Keith is also responsible for the provision of our groundstaff activity under the direction of Andy Mackay. This includes Blackstone and Brighton Aldridge Cricket Academy (BACA), which is also the home of Sussex Women’s cricket, as well as Hove. It is not an easy job juggling the amount of cricket that needs fitting in as well as our other activities including major concerts. CHIEF EXECUTIVE

COMMUNITY CRICKET A year ago, we announced Chris Coleman as our new Head of Community Cricket. As with the performance department we have spent a lot of time reviewing how we are structured and what our priorities need to be going forward. We have a new brand for the Foundation which links more readily with Sussex Cricket and our aim is to actively change lives through cricket cross the community. We use the game and the Sussex Cricket brand to deliver accessible and enjoyable opportunities that grow the sport, tackle inequalities, improve health and wellbeing and enable people to fulfil their potential. During the year we have restructured into four territory managers looking after our activity across the county and have created one league for all adult cricket in the county. The adult 1st Central Sussex Cricket League is the largest cricket league in the world. We are clear that our priorities for 2019 are to: support clubs to provide opportunities that meet player needs, support the next generation of Sussex cricketers to reach their potential, deliver and grow cricket for underrepresented groups and use cricket to deliver wider social outcomes. COMMERCIAL This is another area of the business we have re-shaped over the last 12 months. Mark Judges is now the Head of Commercial supported by Tony Cottey, our Business Relationship Manager. We are very fortunate to have a loyal group of business partners who are very much part of the Sussex Cricket family and we are very grateful for their ongoing support. We welcome the Cow Corner group to our business family this year and they will be taking over sponsorship of our hospitality and event space, appropriately located at ‘cow corner’. They will also be offering £1,000 for every time a Sussex player hits a six into Cow Corner in white-ball cricket. Our ground sponsor 1st Central have also renewed their commitment to the club and have extended the relationship to be the first sponsor of the Sussex Cricket League. 8
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
All responsibility for membership sales and match day sales and hospitality sit with the commercial department and to aid this we have introduced a new ticket system with Ticketmaster, to work with our new website and CRM system which we introduced in 2018. A big focus last year was on selling out our T20 matches (and but for the rain affecting two of them we would have achieved this on four occasions out of seven). We will aim to improve on that this year. We also aim to provide a first-class match day experience working alongside our hospitality provider Sodexo. At the Glamorgan game last year, we achieved our highest ever matchday experience scores. OPERATIONS The operations team led by Ian Waring continue to keep Hove special and to make improvements where we can. Over the last 12 months we have also been working on a masterplan for the next phase of development for the ground including the south west corner. This opportunity has been discussed for some time and we now believe the time is right to take advantage of the development opportunity presented and to use this as a catalyst for further ground improvements in areas that are becoming less and less fit for purpose. During the first half of 2019 we will be sharing our vision for the future of the ground and look forward to everyone’s thoughts and comments on our plans. Similarly, we continue to invest in the Blackstone Academy Ground, sponsored by Hurstpierpoint College, to ensure it meets the increasing demands placed on it. As well as ensuring we host all Sussex cricket and other high-profile matches at Hove (including this year the Kia Super League Finals Day for the third year in a row and an England women’s T20 international versus Australia), the team also assist with the delivery at Arundel and Eastbourne for our out-ground matches. Our reputation as a concert venue also continues to grow and following a successful 2018 we have announced Sir Elton John and Sir Rod
An artist’s impression of the new-look main entrance to the ground, which is part of the masterplan for the development of the south-west corner
Stewart at Hove in 2019. Elton John is already sold out. PEOPLE AND FINANCE All organisations must be underpinned by firstclass people and finance functions. We are lucky that the organisation has been well looked after in these two areas by Kay Gunn and Sandra Hill. With our people, our focus will be on leadership development in 2019 and working more effectively across departments as well as ensuring we have good governance and excellent reputation among all our many stakeholders. Our financial strategy led by the Board is to ensure we maintain financial sustainability whilst continuing to invest where appropriate in our cricket departments and making improvements to Hove to enhance both the facilities and the longer-term ability to drive increased match and non-match day revenue.
The finance department has been led by Sandra Hill for the past 15 years and we would like to thank her for all her dedication and hard work for the club over that time and wish her well in her plans for the future. The last 12 months for Sussex and cricket in general have been very exciting and the next 12 months look set to be even more so. We believe we are well placed to adapt to whatever changes may come our way. This time next year we would hope to have a five-year agreement signed with the ECB through to 2024 and a five-year masterplan for the ground approved and ready to go. Thank you all for your continued support and here’s to a wonderful cricketing summer in 2019. ROB ANDREW CHIEF EXECUTIVE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

KEITH GREENFIELD
The season is nearly upon us and we have been focusing firmly on planning for a successful 2019. Looking back on 2018 enabled us to see progress on the playing field, and a year which saw the emerging talent within our professional squad shine.

DIRECTOR OF CRICKET
Ollie Robinson and Phil Salt both made significant strides and cemented their places in our sides. Watching Phil Salt and Tom Haines both make debut Championship hundreds on the same day at Arundel Castle was incredibly rewarding and reinforced the need to develop our young players. The modern game now sees many of our players away during the winter months playing for clubs or in many of the T20 leagues throughout the world which dominate our off-season. It was also the year which saw the arrival of Jason Gillespie to the club. We were so near to our first trophy under the new Gillespie era, reaching the T20 Finals Day at Edgbaston only to fall at the last hurdle. Dizzy has a very positive outlook on the future and will continue to take us forward in 2019 and beyond. Jason Swift became Dizzy’s assistant coach and we welcomed back Luke Dunning who has now replaced Jason as the team analyst. Mike Yardy continues his development and spent time working with the England Young Lions during this winter. Another significant step forward for Sussex Cricket was the announcement that Richard Halsall would return to Sussex from his role with Bangladesh and become the Academy Director responsible for the entire player pathway. His drive and passion have already seen a huge change in our focus and quality of provision for a far greater number of players within the pathway. His forward-thinking and innovation have been outstanding. This is so important in order for the club to fulfil our strategy in developing homegrown players, not only for the benefit of the professional playing squad but for the strength and health of our new league set-up and local clubs. We have managed to source new investment which has been used to strengthen both the boys and girls’ player pathways. Sussex women’s and girls’ cricket goes from strength to strength having worked in partnership with the Aldridge
Luke Wright lit up T20 Finals Day with a brilliant innings against Somerset
Foundation, the Sir Rod Aldridge Cricket Centre and the Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, the home of the Sussex women and girls programme. Ian Cox has been appointed as the lead coach of the girls’ stand-alone academy and emerging players programmes, with Alexia Walker now the senior women’s head coach. Having gained promotion back into the first division of the County Championship in 2018 we now want to compete for the title with a newly created group of players. Another hugely important step forward also took place over the winter with the creation of one Sussex Cricket League. This came into being in November 2018 and will provide all players who participate in the league the opportunity to play the cricket they want to at all relevant levels of the
new league structure. Congratulations must go to Gary Stanley for his work in driving this through to fruition. By the time you read this, we will have taken the professional squad to Cape Town on preseason training ensuring that, like in 2018, we will start the season strongly and be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in 2019. Dizzy will join up with the squad for the trip and will be focusing on another successful year. All performance areas have clearly set objectives for success that form part of Sussex Cricket’s wider strategy. Our challenge, as ever, is to deliver them. KEITH GREENFIELD DIRECTOR OF CRICKET

JASON GILLESPIE
My overall view of 2018 is that there were signs of progress in all forms of the game from a team point of view and development from individual players throughout the squad.
12
HEAD COACH
Being new to the club I was certainly keen to see how the players went about their cricket, their work ethic and how they interacted with each other and people outside of the squad and club. For me, all these things are important, and my initial reaction has been a very positive one. I was told by a number of people that Sussex was a very welcoming and family-friendly club and this was exactly what I experienced: good people all wanting the very best for Sussex Cricket. Our Specsavers County Championship cricket last year showed signs of promise as well as some below-par cricket. It’s fair to say there were a number of missed opportunities, with a couple of losses that could have been wins. However, there were also some excellent performances from a team point of view and some brilliant individual displays. A real feather in our caps was scoring the second-highest batting points in the division, in a tough year for batting. Yes, absolutely, our batting can be more effective, but I believe the opportunities we were able to afford some of our younger players will benefit us greatly in the seasons ahead. There were a number of fine performers individually and I thought Ben Brown’s leadership was impressive throughout the Championship and Royal London One-Day Cup, a competition that we did not really get going in during 2018. Again, as with the Championship, we missed some opportunities to drive games forward but we just did not quite find our way in the 50-over form of the game. We managed to make Vitality Blast Finals Day by finishing the group stage strongly and beating Durham away in the quarter-finals which was a very good achievement by the players. There were plenty of positive words spoken and written about our bowling attack which performed strongly throughout the campaign, however I must also commend our batting group who understood their roles and implemented
their game plans well. I also felt that Luke Wright led the T20 side well in a relaxed yet focussed manner which was pleasing. There have certainly been many lessons learnt from 2018 and going into 2019 I will certainly be looking for signs of progress from individual players and from the team overall. There have been a number of things we looked at since the end of last season and we identified room for real improvement. From a physical side, we identified speed as something that we could look to work on during the winter as well as being specific to the individual physical needs of players. In the end of season appraisals, all the players were keen to develop this part of their games further with a view to giving themselves the best chance they can to perform on the field. All players have identified individual skill to work on leading into 2019 and our support staff has also bounced some ideas around with the players on opportunities they have observed which they believe will help them improve their games. As a team we certainly want to perform better in all forms of the game. It is our goal to also continue to afford playing opportunities to our young players coming through the ranks. There is always that balance of giving players a chance and having them earn the opportunity. You always want to reward good consistent performances in the 2nd XI and this is something we stress to the players: continue to perform and opportunities will present themselves. My goals, and the goals of our support staff, are very clear for the players - continual improvement. If we can look to continually strive to be better as players and as coaches, all the while conducting ourselves in a positive and respectful manner, then I am very confident that the games of cricket will look after themselves. Our continued focus will be on what will allow us to be better. Players individually have identified how they want to and need to get better from a
skill and physical point of view. As coaches we have looked at how we can work as well as we can with each other and the players to help them improve and we will continue to engage with all our friends in and around the game. This includes our fans, our sponsors, our wonderful staff here at Sussex and our friends in the media who do a great job helping to promote our great game to everyone out there. I am very excited for season 2019 and we are all very excited about sharing our journey. I look forward to seeing everyone at our games. JASON GILLESPIE (DIZZY) HEAD COACH

RUPERT, HUBERT AND OAKY
Rupert Webb (left) and Alan Oakman prepare for the 1948 season
For Sussex supporters of a certain age 2018 was tinged with the sadness of the passing of three much loved cricketers, Alan Oakman, Hubert Doggart and Rupert Webb. It felt like the clatter of stumps in some celestial cricket match; it was as if the Ultimate Umpire had suddenly developed a rather twitchy forefinger, in the manner of the old official, Sam Cook, and the umpire he mentored, Ray Julian. And in this mode of dismissal there is no DRS. The consolation, the great comforter, is that each of these Sussex cricketers had played an innings of substance. Webb was the county’s oldest surviving player, at 96. Doggart was 92. Oakman’s 88 seems rather skittish by comparison. I feel a little fraudulent writing this appreciation because I never saw Webb or Doggart play, and 14
RUPERT, HUBERT AND OAKY
Oakman was in his last season with the county when I moved to Sussex in 1968. But all three were still vividly around, and their deeds were warmly recalled by most members at that time. Oakman, at 6ft 6in and a former Grenadier Guardsman, was a tall and commanding figure at the ground, at least until the even taller and more commanding Tony Greig arrived in 1967. He was the last surviving member of the England team that beat Australia at Old Trafford in 1956, the match in which Jim Laker famously took 19 wickets. Laker would later concede that Oakman had been a key figure in his success, for
he took five catches at short-leg. “He had a great pair of hands,” Jim Parks told me. “For Sussex he usually fielded at first slip, but was never far away from the bat. And people forget that he was also a fine off-spinner, who got plenty of bounce. We were very good friends. I used to stay with him in Birmingham when he moved to Warwickshire and he used to come and stay with us in Sussex. He joined the staff at Hove in 1947 and I arrived a little later, in 1949. At Sussex he is still best remembered for his Little and Large opening partnership with Kenny Suttle.” By 1968 Oakman had slipped back down the order. But at his best, especially on hard wickets and against fast-medium or mediumpaced bowling, he was an eye-catching batsman, renowned for his long reach and fluent driving. He was originally viewed as a bowler who batted a bit – in 1954 he took 99 wickets at 20.97. But he moved slowly up the order after reaching 1,000 runs in a season for the first time in 1952. He formed a successful opening partnership with Don Smith before Suttle came along. After he packed up playing he became an umpire before moving to Warwickshire, first as coach and then as an administrator. It was there that I last spoke with him some years ago. “I was a batsman, mostly, but I bowled a lot early in my career and one of the most memorable moments came when I turned one of my off-breaks through the gate to bowl the great Denis Compton in front of a packed Bank Holiday crowd. “But not everyone shared my joy. The umpire groaned ‘Oh, Denis.’ And my team-mate Charlie Oakes walked up to me and said ‘You prat – I love watching him bat.’ “My best time at Sussex was in 1953, when we almost won the Championship under David Sheppard. The Lord was our Sheppard, you might say. At the end of that wonderful season David wrote me a personal letter thanking me for everything I’d done. That was most unusual.” Doggart, like Oakman, played twice for England. He looked likely to win more caps
when he scored 215 not out on his first-class debut, against Lancashire, in 1948. The following year he scored over 2,000 runs for Cambridge and Sussex, at over 45. But when selected for England, in 1950, he found life more difficult against Ramadhin and Valentine. He was something of a latter-day CB Fry. In his last year at Cambridge, in 1949-50, he captained the university at cricket, soccer, squash and rackets. He also won a half-Blue for rugby fives. “He was a terrific athlete,” remembers Parks. “I thought he was an outstanding footballer. He took over the Sussex captaincy in 1954, and succeeding David Sheppard was a difficult act to follow. In 1953 David had taken us from almost bottom of the table to almost the top. He was an inspirational figure.” Doggart was a stylish, attacking batsman who made a great impression early in his career. He was even touted as a future England captain. Although he finished playing for Sussex in 1961 his zest and enthusiasm continued to influence everyone he met – and not just at Hove. He became MCC president in 1981-82 and also served as president of the Cricket Council. Webb appeared to have a more colourful time of things after he retired. In 1994 he played a small part in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, as the father of Hugh Grant’s jilted bride. And he was a male model in his eighties. He advertised banks, building societies and even promoted hot tubs in Hastings. He was married to the actress Barbara Whatley, who once turned down a marriage proposal from Elvis Presley. The couple renewed their vows on their 30th wedding anniversary in 2013. He was the first-choice keeper for Sussex between 1948-1958, when he was replaced behind the stumps by Parks, who told me: “By the end of 1958 he was making a few mistakes behind the wicket and I stepped in. I didn’t even know I was going to keep.” Captain Robin Marlar, it seems, was never a great fan of Webb the wicketRUPERT, HUBERT AND OAKY

Central to Sussex’s aim of thriving Following a successful three-year partnership, 1st Central is delighted to further our commitment of being a part of the Sussex Cricket family by supporting the game in the county at all levels. Now, not only are we the title sponsors of The 1st Central County Ground and a proud partner of the Sussex Cricket Foundation, we’re also supporting local cricket through our sponsorship of the world’s largest cricket league, The 1st Central Sussex Cricket League. As a large Sussex-based employer, we pride ourselves on the fact that our active involvement within the local community helps everyone get on with what they love. That’s why endorsing Sussex, a club that has a long and recognised history in cricket and is well loved by residents and families in the area, is hugely important to us. After a thrilling 2018 campaign led to just missing out on the T20 silverware, we’re excited to see what 2019 has in store. And with a strong team both on the field and behind the scenes, we’re sure 2019 is going to be a great success.

keeper. He recalled: “Marlar was sort of anti-me. I don’t know why but he was. For instance, one of Glamorgan’s openers was a notorious edger. Robin bowled without a slip, so I said ‘Rob, let’s have a slip. He’s an edger!’ ‘No, no,’ he said. ‘I’ll have Oaky ’round the corner.’ “So, three or four balls later, the fellow got a thick edge, where Oaky would have caught it at slip, and at the end of the over Marlar said to me ‘You should have caught that, you know.’ I said ‘You’re not serious, are you?’ He said ‘Oh yes, you should have caught it.’ That sort of thing started happening in 1957.” I first met Rupert in 2003, the year Sussex won the Championship for the first time. “When we
were second in 1953 we played all the teams. In 2003 Sussex played only half of them and one overseas player took all the wickets while another scored most of the runs. “But some things have improved. I remember, in the 1950s, there being a Sussex committee of 36 amateurs. One year they gave John Langridge and Harry Parks, two great Sussex servants, a joint benefit!” Oh, my Oakman, Doggart and Webb long ago!

THREE CHEERS?
Extra promotion spot is there for the taking. April 5 is a date better known for the scramble to get tax returns completed rather than the start of the cricket season. So, the fact the dates coincide this year is probably a good reason to keep the Revenue happy, get the return done early and concentrate on the cricket! Mind you, the weather may have other ideas. Early April can be cold and wet, but it can also be gloriously sunny. Let’s just hope the South Coast comes up trumps. The latest ECB restructure of the Specsavers County Championship makes a return to the top flight more likely for Sussex this season, but definitely not a certainty. The two relegated sides, Worcestershire with their seemingly endless production line of talented home-produced players - and Lancashire will both be determined to make a swift return to Division One. Middlesex surely can’t have as bad a season as last summer, particularly with new Head Coach Stuart Law at the helm, and expect a revival from Glamorgan, where new Director of Cricket Mark Wallace should ensure that some of their insipid performances from last season aren’t repeated. Leicestershire, with Pakistan fast bowler Mohammed Abbas in their attack, could emerge as genuine outsiders while Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire and Durham have all added to their ranks during the winter. So, what are Sussex’s chances of securing one of the top-three places? Certainly no one will relish a trip to the south coast where Sussex were unbeaten last season. Away from home was a different story. Just one win from seven in 2018 was a disappointing return and this form will need to improve if Sussex are to challenge for one of those coveted promotion places. Phil Salt, Tom Haines and Harry Finch all
Stiaan van Zyl’s experience was badly missed last season
scored their maiden Championship centuries last season, and benefited from the consistent selection policy employed by Head Coach Jason Gillespie. “Everyone was a young player once,” he told me on countless occasions, and it meant those players weren’t constantly looking over their shoulders for fear of being dropped. The challenge for them this season is to consistently score runs with Stiaan Van Zyl, hopefully restored to fitness, providing crucial top-order experience. With a middle order led by skipper Ben Brown and David Wiese, Sussex shouldn’t be short of runs. The bowling will again be spearheaded by Ollie Robinson. Only Simon Harmer, the Essex off-spinner, bowled more overs in the Specsavers County Championship last season and Robinson’s 74 wickets were a tribute to his fitness and determination to overcome the injuries that had dogged him in 2017. How much we will see of Jofra Archer once he is eligible to play for England will be a major factor in any promotion challenge. Brown will need to manage his other seamers’ workloads carefully to cover for that eventuality. So, can Sussex be promoted? Well of course they can. Expect a few bumps but I see no reason why Sussex won’t finish in the top three.
As for the Royal London One-Day Cup, an improvement is needed although finishing second bottom of the South Group last season was probably a bit harsh. The fact that eventual runners-up Kent were hammered at Hove, and eventual winners Hampshire should have suffered a similar fate, shows the fine margins that exist at this level. Losing two matches to the weather didn’t help, but a terrific win at Taunton was frustratingly followed by a poor performance in Cardiff, and that ultimately cost Sussex. The Vitality Blast campaign was the highlight of last season. Winning the last three group games, under enormous pressure, to qualify for the quarter-finals was an extraordinary achievement and although Finals Day ended in disappointment the groundwork was laid for another successful season in 2019. Thank you for all your support and your emails, texts and tweets during the commentaries. Roll on the new season whatever it brings.

COMMUNITY CRICKET Will Beer meets the fans of the future at a Cricket Foundation awareness session
It has been a transformational year in both a playing and operational capacity within the Community Cricket Department and for the Sussex Cricket Foundation. The start of the year saw the new Head of Community Cricket starting and a fresh approach to how Sussex Cricket serviced and delivered cricket in a wide variety of community settings began.
20
COMMUNITY CRICKET
We had a review of the departmental priorities and the agreement that these should focus on four areas: support clubs and leagues to provide opportunities that meet players needs; support the next generation of Sussex cricketers to reach their potential; deliver and grow cricket for underrepresented groups; and use cricket to deliver wider social outcomes. In relation to working with clubs and leagues, 2018 saw the formation and constitution of the 1st Central Sussex Cricket League, the largest adult league in the world. This league sees the coming together of 140 clubs, 340 teams and 34 divisions. This has been a two-year task driven by volunteers and Sussex Cricket staff which saw the merger of the four leagues within Sussex to fall under a single playing structure, a single set of playing conditions, a single set of regulations and increased buying power to save money across the network of clubs.
During the league merger process, we produced the biggest piece of insight ever completed across cricket in Sussex. The player survey, which was sent to every registered player in Sussex, sought their opinion on start times, playing formats, league structure, short format cricket, travel times and generally how their experience could be improved both on and off the pitch. This led to an overhaul in many of the playing conditions and the introduction of early start and finish times with limited overs win-lose cricket being played across 32 of the 34 divisions and reduced travel times for away games. This all allows players to be finishing their cricket earlier and creating a cricket “and” not cricket “or” ethos. These changes not only reflected the views of the cricketers of Sussex but also the national insight developed by the ECB over the past ten years. We have also entered into exciting new partnerships with 1st Central as the headline sponsor of the Sussex Cricket League and Gray Nicolls, who will be the official ball supplier, offering a better quality and cheaper balls to all clubs in each division. The league merger has been showcased by the ECB as best practice of how cricket should be delivered at a local level. It is also the next step in merging all cricket in Sussex under the Sussex Cricket banner and will see every player playing with a ball graced by the Sussex Cricket logo in 2019. In order to service our portfolio of 169 accredited league and non-league clubs, we have restructured our staffing model to have a more local focussed, hands-on approach. The team of four territory managers hold direct relations with the clubs, providing a first line of support to volunteers and a direct route into Sussex Cricket. These managers also develop local plans for clubs to support both their internal development and links to the wider cricket network. Our All Stars programme showed good growth in 2018 with 54 clubs signing up and over 1,600 kids aged 5-8 completing weekly sessions at their
local club, many having their first experience of cricket. The programme offered many moneycan’t-buy experiences like free trips to the 1st Central County Ground, the opportunity to attend an England international at the Ageas Bowl and visits from Sussex professionals Tymal Mills and Stiaan Van Zyl. It’s a programme we want to grow significantly in 2019, and we are aiming to reach 70 clubs with 2,500 kids involved. This programme helps to secure the next generation of cricketers in our clubs and broaden their reach. The All Stars programme is fed by our redesigned and all improved Chance to Shine programme. We work in partnership with the charity to reach over 20,000 kids in a school setting through either the 21-hour programme of coaching and classroom work or a series of roadshows and competitions. The aim of this is to bring cricket into state schools, upskill staff to provide sustainability and transition kids into clubs via the All Stars programme. The programme had been in special measures last year due to concerns around delivery, but the latest audit highlighted our work as an example of best practice - a real step forward with a major funding partner. The Foundation continues to support a number of individuals to reach their potential through our Hardship Fund. This is contributed to by a number of donors/organisation and sees the Foundation support young players through our pathway who would otherwise not be able to afford it. Our Women and Girls offer has continued to go from strength to strength this year in both hard and softball cricket. We had 30 clubs with women’s and/or girls’ sections and increased schools’ delivery through our partnership with the Aldridge Foundation. This has led to a larger than ever attendance at our county assessment days and an increased number of squads in our talent pathway set-up. Alongside this we ran 18 women’s softball festivals, aimed at giving women their first experience of cricket in a fun and informal setting. We achieved 168% of our ECB target with 753 … COMMUNITY CRICKET

… unique women attending sessions. Sussex continues to be a beacon for women’s cricket and it will continue to be a priority for us into 2019 and beyond. Disability cricket in Sussex has seen an expanded programme in 2018 working in partnership with Lord’s Taverners and the ECB. Last year we delivered 464 sessions to 716 unique participants (including 173 female participants approx. 25%) across 50 separate organisations. Fifteen young leaders were also trained through the programmes. DIScoverABILITY Day 2018 saw 420 unique participants from 23 organisations, 49 community volunteers and 60 sports leaders all gracing the outfield at the 1st Central County Ground. This was the best attendance figures so far for this event and one of the highlights of the year for us. Sussex Visually Impaired Sharks were winners of 2018 British Blind Sport Cup Final, brilliantly supported by investment from the Priory Foundation. We also transformed our community hubs to Lord’s Taverners Super 1’s Clubs and the number of clubs increased from five to seven. This brings a national competition structure and focus to weekly community sessions. Our Street Cricket Programme provides informal tape-ball cricket in inner city locations. Last year was successful, with the five programmes running across the county all culminating in a showcase at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy. We also arrange for all street participants to come to a white-ball match either at Hove, Arundel or Eastbourne, demonstrating their skills on the pitch during the intervals. For many, this was their first experience of live professional cricket. At the backend of 2018, we launched our first ever Sporting Memories programme. This sees the Foundation use remembrance work and light physical activity to help tackle dementia and address social isolation. This is a programme we will be expanding in 2019 and running until at least 2021. In our final year of delivering the No Boundaries
programme, the Foundation helped 70 people through the employability programme, many of whom are now in full-time work. One of the key highlights of the year for me was the Outstanding Services to Cricket Awards. Held at the end of the season, the event celebrates the work of the volunteer network in our clubs and schools. Volunteers are integral and fundamental to running cricket in the county and it is not an exaggeration to say we could not function without them. Thanks again to every person who has given their time to help cricket thrive in the county. Internally, there have been numerous staffing changes and I have been truly taken aback by the commitment and drive of all the staff both in the Foundation and more widely across Sussex Cricket. I would like to thank the work of the Foundation chairman Jon Filby and all of the trustees who have provided strategic and hands-on support throughout the year. Sussex Cricket feels like a club that is heading in the right direction. In the wider cricketing landscape, 2019 promises to be a landmark year. With both the men’s and women’s Ashes and the World Cup hosted in England and Wales, cricket fever nationally should be at an all time high. Locally we have a young, talented and inspiring team who will be expanding their engagement in the community to inspire the next generation of Sussex cricketers. The ECB have launched their new strategy which will see increased investment into community cricket from 2020 onwards. 2019 will see us review our junior league structure, expand our street and women and girls’ programmes and continue to grow our disability programmes while linking employability opportunities for our participants. We will be getting smarter around how we measure the impact of our work, demonstrating how we can use cricket to change people’s lives. Here’s to an exciting 2019 and beyond.

WOMEN’S AND GIRLS CRICKET
Sussex faced some new challenges in 2018. They were in Division Two of the Royal London County Championship and were determined to get straight back into the top flight.
24
WOMEN’S AND GIRLS CRICKET
Their season was packed into just two months during which they played back-to-back weekend fixtures in the Championship followed by their NatWest T20 campaign. This enabled any Kia Super League players to play the full county season. Sussex started at the Brighton Aldridge Community Academy, which is the home of Sussex women and girls cricket, against Derbyshire. Showing their intentions from the start, captain Georgia Adams scored the first Sussex century at the ground with 106 off 110 balls, helping us to a mammoth total of 316. Sussex then bowled out Derbyshire for 65 with opening bowler Freya Davies taking 6 for 10, the joint second-best Championship bowling figures by a Sussex player. The following day, at the Blackstone Academy Ground sponsored by Hurstpierpoint College, the team scored an impressive 285 against Northamptonshire with wicketkeeper-batsman Sarah Taylor making 88. Sussex put in another outstanding bowling performance and dismissed Northamptonshire for 76 with Georgia Elwiss taking 3 for 13. The side faced Surrey the following week and knew it would be a tough game as their team included several England players. Surrey elected to bat first but again Sussex put on a great bowling display, dismissing Surrey for 120 with Paige Scholfield taking 3 for 17. Sussex needed to reach the target quickly to get extra bonus points and ensure we remained at the top of the table, and won in the 28th over with Taylor 60 not out. For our fourth game Sussex were back home at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy against Essex. Sussex bowled tightly and restricted Essex to 158 for 9 from their 50 overs. Left-arm spinner Linsey Smith was the pick of the bowlers and took 3 for 28. Essex came at Sussex hard with the ball and took wickets at regular stages. We were all bowled out for 114 and lost our first game of the season. May Bank Holiday weekend saw the squad travel first to Wales, where their game against
Glamorgan was called off without a ball being bowled. The rain cleared the following day for the trip to Devon, where the home team elected to bat first. Excellent bowling, in particular from Georgia Elwiss who finished with 4 for 22, restricted Devon to 129 for 9 from their 50 overs. Sussex chased the total down within 30 overs with Elwiss 39 not out. In our final game we faced Berkshire, who were also relegated in 2017. Sussex fielded first and bowled Berkshire out for just 94 with offspinner Chiara Green taking 3 for 13 and seamer Tara Norris 3 for 17. Sussex reached their target quickly to secure maximum bonus points with Green scoring 32. Five wins and bonus points meant promotion was secured at the first attempt. It was a quick turnaround for the squad as they had four weekends of Vitality T20 matches in Division One. The squad travelled to Middlesex where they faced Yorkshire and the hosts. Fielding first, they restricted Yorkshire to 103 for 6 and in a close finish Sussex claimed victory with five balls to spare thanks to a partnership of 79 between Izzy Collis (45) and Abbey Freeborn (37). Against Middlesex, Sussex were put in and made 107 for 8 but could not prevent England players Fran Wilson and Sophia Dunkley taking the hosts to victory inside 17 overs. Kent and Surrey then travelled to Billingshurst for what proved to be two low-scoring matches. Sussex bowled Kent out for just 69 with Cassidy McCarthy taking 3 for 10. Sadly, on a slow, low wicket, Kent skittled Sussex out for just 61 in 18 overs. In a rain-affected match against Surrey reduced to 11 overs a-side, Sussex restricted Surrey to 74 for 3 and chased it down with five balls to spare, Paige Schofield top scoring with 28. Sussex then beat Warwickshire and Lancashire to go second ahead of the final weekend. Against Warwickshire, Sussex were bowled out for 109 with captain Adams top scoring with 32. Sussex put in an outstanding bowling performance against a strong side, bowling them out for just
67 with quick bowler Davies taking 4 for 8 and spinner Adams 3 for 9. Sussex put Lancashire into bat and kept them to 109 for 6. Another outstanding performance from Adams (61) and Collis (35) led Sussex to their fourth victory and a chance to win the title. Going into the final weekend, Sussex needed to win both games and hope other results went their way. They did what was asked and got their victories against Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire. Notts were overcome with spinners Adams and Harman taking three wickets each before Worcestershire were beaten by nine runs with Adams 64 not out. Sadly, Middlesex won their final game to clinch the title with Sussex second. Among the juniors, the under-15s had an outstanding season in the Royal London OneDay competition and reached the final against Yorkshire who were just too strong and took the title. Finishing second was still a wonderful achievement, nonetheless. Women and girls cricket continues to grow in Sussex with over 180 players nominated for county assessments in 2019, a huge increase on previous years. Typically, we have had under 100 girls in the past. It has meant, with the numbers but also the standard higher than normal, we will be having two under-11, two under-13, an under 15 development, under-15 and under-17 team this year.

THE BUSINESS OF CRICKET
The complex ecosystem that is business within cricket continues to evolve as the 2019 season dawns and the green, green grass of Hove is prepared for a hard-fought season of cricket.

THE BUSINESS OF CRICKET
In the winter of 2017 we began implementing the largest systems and process upgrade Sussex Cricket has seen since it was founded in 1839. This work was undertaken with one aim – for Sussex Cricket to become a data-driven business relying on insight rather than assumption, whilst ensuring our members and supporters are at the centre of our decision-making moving forward. Last winter was a continuation of this work, the main focus upgrading our ticketing and membership platform. Our previous platform had been in place for 12 years and proved archaic against customer expectation and progressive functionality. An upgrade to the system was due in 2018, however the provider failed to deliver. This led the Commercial team going out to market with a clear vision of a progressive platform with enhanced functionality which the club could continue to grow alongside. The process was concluded in August and Ticketmaster, who are widely respected within sport as the leading ticket solution provider, were appointed. Ticketmaster work with many of the world’s leading professional sports organisations and other first-class counties including Manchester United, Arsenal, England Rugby, Surrey, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Hampshire. We think you’ll agree we’re in good company. Reflecting on 2018, it was strong year financially across all areas of responsibility for the Commercial team. The department is responsible for the following areas: • Sponsorship • Match Day Hospitality • Membership • Ticketing • Club Shop • Marketing Revenue across the Commercial department is again proving positive for 2019 with sponsorship retention remaining high within a competitive and tightened market. Ahead of the new season we are pleased to announce extension and
acquisition of the following major sponsors: • 1st Central – new three-year ground naming rights agreement in addition to growing their involvement with the Sussex Cricket Foundation. • Cow Corner – new Hospitality Suite sponsor for a minimum of three seasons. • Galloways – new County Championship shirt sponsor for a minimum of two seasons. Other major sponsors, including Boundless, Parafix, Aldridge and Jointing Tech, are continuing their involvement as part of their active sponsorship contracts with the club. In addition to these major sponsors we have retained over 95% of corporate partners and welcomed new partners to the club, including Ridgeview and One Parking Solutions. As with any business, social and digital media is one of the most important and fastest changing sectors and this has been a key focus for the Commercial team over the past 12 months. A concentrated effort has seen our social media
reach grow significantly, enabling us to engage with new audiences not only within Sussex and the UK but across the globe. Sussex operate across the majority of all major social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat and combined we have more than 300,000 followers. So, what does the future hold? Everyone within the game has an opinion and debate about cricket is a good thing. It keeps the game progressing. But only one thing is certain – 2019 will answer a lot of questions, shape the future of the game and provide clarity on the strategic direction of cricket as we head into 2020 when The Hundred competition is launched alongside an ever competitive and exciting county season - not to mention the exciting new ground developments planned here at Sussex.

OBITUARIES ALAN M CAFFYN
President of Sussex County Cricket Club from 1983-87, he died in April 2018 aged 84. He later became chairman of the Club from 1990 until 1997, resigning after the members’ protest meeting held at the Grand Hotel. As chairman of Caffyn’s car dealership at Eastbourne he arranged the car sponsorship for the club in the 1970s which included Tony Greig’s luxurious white Jaguar. In his playing days he was described as an outstanding wicket-keeper for Eastbourne and he maintained his involvement in cricket, being appointed the director of the Friends of Arundel Cricket Club in April 2012. He remained a VicePresident of the county club.
GEORGE HUBERT GRAHAM DOGGART, O.B.E A former Sussex captain, England Test cricketer, MCC president and vice-president of Sussex CCC, he died at Chichester on 16 February 2018, aged 92. He was one of several Cambridge Blues to have captained the county and he also distinguished himself as a housemaster at Winchester and headmaster at King’s School, Bruton. Born in London on 18 July 1925 young Hubert was educated at Winchester where he was in the XI between 1941-43. In that first year he ‘showed remarkable form for a boy of 16’ and became captain in his last year when he scored 77 at Lord’s for The Rest v Lord’s Schools. In 1944 he joined the Army and was commissioned into the Coldstream Guards, serving in northwest Europe, and so when he went to King’s College, Cambridge, in 1947 he was 22 years old. In December of that year he gained his soccer Blue scoring a goal in the Varsity match. This was followed in May 1948 by a sensational first-class debut at Fenner’s when he scored 215* against Lancashire. The Doggart family home was at Middleton and young Doggart, who had played 28
OBITUARIES
for Sussex in wartime matches, made his debut at Portsmouth that year. There was another outstanding performance at Cambridge in 1949 when he scored 219* and shared an unbroken partnership of 429 with John Dewes against Essex, followed by a brilliant 166 v MCC at Lord’s. Doggart was captain of Cambridge University in 1950 when the top four in the batting order were Dewes, Sheppard, Doggart and May. He also played in two Test matches that year against West Indies but in September started his teaching career at Winchester. He was given leave to captain Sussex in 1954 and making occasional appearances until the last of his 155 matches for Sussex at Worthing in 1961 when he was 36. He continued to play, however, touring Netherlands with Free Foresters in 1962 and 1965 and appearing for Old Wykehamists in The Cricketer Cup between 1967-70 and the Arabs. Other cricket tours took him to West Indies in 195556 with EW Swanton’s XI, East Africa in 1957-58 with MCC and South America in 1958-59 with MCC. In 1972 Hubert was appointed headmaster of King’s School, Bruton where he remained until 1985. During this period he was appointed president of MCC and in 1982 he escorted HRH the Queen from the Lord’s pavilion to greet the India and England teams. That year he represented MCC at Colombo for Sri Lanka’s inaugural Test. He also served MCC as treasurer from 1987-92 and, as vice-president of the Cricket Society, he addressed a packed audience at the Royal Overseas League in 2014-15. Other presidencies were those of the English Schools Cricket Association (1965-2000) and the Quidnuncs and he also chaired the Friends of Arundel Castle Cricket Club between 19932003. At Cambridge young Doggart achieved Blues for cricket, football, rackets and squash and represented the University at rugby fives. He later played soccer for Pegasus and Corinthian Casuals. Hubert Doggart’s father was chairman of Sussex CCC, his brother Peter played for Sussex

between 1947-51 and his son Simon played for Sussex II between 1979-80. In 2015 the Sussex Cricket Museum arranged a lunch at Horsham to celebrate Hubert’s 90th birthday and published Hubert Doggart 90 Not Out. In first-class cricket Hubert scored 10,054 runs (average 31.51) with his stylish right-hand batting, with 20 centuries (13 for Sussex), took 60 wickets with his off breaks and held 199 catches.
ALAN STANLEY MYLES OAKMAN The popular Sussex all-rounder from 1947 to 1968, England Test cricketer and vice-president of the club, died on 6 September, 2018. The funeral was held at Robin Hood Cemetery, Shirley, Solihull on 20 September followed by a reception at Edgbaston. Born at Hastings on 20 April 1930, Alan made his Sussex debut in 1947, aged 17, but his career was interrupted by National Service with the Welsh Guards. His great height (6ft 6in) assisted his off-breaks and he took 66 Championship wickets in 1951, when he was awarded his cap. In all first-class matches in 1952 he scored 1,429 runs and took 83 wickets, including a hat-trick against Somerset at Hove – a fine performance for a 22-year-old. A broken thumb halted his progress in 1953 but the following year he took a career-best 99 wickets,
including 7-39 (off 27 overs) against Glamorgan at Eastbourne. In 1956 he scored 80 for MCC v Australians as well as five centuries and played in the Headingley and Old Trafford Test matches of that year, famously catching five Australians in Jim Laker’s leg trap at Manchester. Touring South Africa with MCC in 1956-57, Oakman scored 150 against Orange Free State but he sustained a back injury that restricted his county appearances in 1957 to just two matches. His best season with the bat was in 1961 when he scored 2,307 runs (average 36.61) which included a career best 229* v Nottinghamshire at Shireoaks. Alan was an important member of Sussex’s Gillette Cup winning team of 1963 and, in the Lord’s final, his 13 overs yielded just 17 runs and the prize wicket of Tom Graveney. His benefit in 1965 realised £5,900 and after his retirement in 1968 he was a first-class umpire in 1969 before becoming coach of Warwickshire from 1970-87, guiding them to the Championship title in 1972, and then served as assistant secretary. In 1972 he stood in the England v Australia ODI at Edgbaston and briefly stood in the Edgbaston Test of 1973 when Arthur Fagg refused to umpire following a disagreement with Pakistan Captain Rohan Kanhai. Still enjoying playing cricket, Oakman turned out for the Old England XI between 1984-99 and raised a team to play against Derek Underwood’s XI in the last ever match at the Central Ground, Hastings in 1989. Alan Oakman conceived the idea of a Sussex Cricket Society in 1965 and acted as patron - it is still going strong. Fondly remembered as one of Sussex’s most successful all-rounders and a brilliant close fielder, Alan’s right-hand batting in 538 first-class matches realised 21,800 runs (average 26.17) with 22 centuries and he took 736 wickets (average 27.63) and 594 catches.

RUPERT THOMAS WEBB
Rupert Webb came to Sussex in 1948 after being spotted by Patsy Hendren
ROBIN HUGH CLOUGH WATERS He died in Dublin on 9 December 2017, aged 80. Born in Calcutta on 6 December 1937 he was a lower order right-hand batsman and wicketkeeper. Playing in the Shrewsbury School XI in 1954-55, appeared for Sussex Young Amateurs between 1956-59 and made his first-class debut in 1960 for Col LC Stevens’ XI at the Saffrons. The following year he made his Sussex debut against Glamorgan when he was at St Edmund Hall, Oxford University but disaster struck just before the University match when he was injured in a car accident with the Nawab of Pataudi. He represented Sussex in eight first-class matches between 1961-65 and also played for Oxford University in 1961-62, Bengal in the Ranji Trophy 1962-63 and Ireland 1968-69. In a firstclass career of 38 matches his wicket-keeping claimed 55 victims and he scored 929 runs (average 18.21) with a highest score of 70 for Ireland v Scotland at Glasgow in 1968. 30
OBITUARIES
The Sussex wicket-keeper from 1948-1960 and a vice-president of the Club, he died at Rottingdean on 27 August 2018, aged 96. A celebration of Rupert’s life was held in the pavilion on 4 October. Born at Harrow in 1922 the young Webb worked and played cricket for Kodak, impressing Middlesex coach Patsy Hendren with his wicket-keeping in a charity match in 1940. Called up into the King’s Own Scottish Borderers at Berwick he transferred to the Royal Navy and was on board a ship dodging U-boats in Greenland and Norway. In 1948 Hendren, now coach at Hove, sent for the young wicket-keeper from the MCC staff and on his first-class debut he stumped Tom Graveney at Bristol off Alan Oakman’s bowling. Webb’s sound wicket-keeping and defiant batting earned him a county cap in 1950, followed ten years later by a benefit (£4,100) when he played the last of his 255 matches for Sussex. In first-class cricket Rupert dismissed 454 batsmen (325ct/129st) and scored 2,685 runs (av. 11.72) with a highest score of 49*. In 1965 he reappeared for Sussex against International Cavaliers at Bexhill. When he retired from cricket he continued working for Powell Duffryn and in 1983 married the actress Barbara Whatley. Work opportunities as a model presented themselves and he appeared in national advertisements and in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral where he is seen walking the bride down the aisle. Rupert maintained his links with Sussex CCC and recounted many hilarious stories from his playing days. In recent years he arranged several cricket forums at St Nicholas’ Church, Brighton and St Aubyn’s School and St Margaret’s Church, Rottingdean when he hosted distinguished cricketing colleagues to raise funds for those churches and the Sussex Cricket Museum. In 2012 the Museum published a biographical booklet entitled A Celebration Lunch for Rupert Webb to celebrate his 90th birthday.
MICHAEL RICHARD GRATWICKE EARLS-DAVIS A grandson of Ranjitsinhji’s friend Dr W.G. Heasman (Sussex 1885-95), he was born at Hampstead 21 February 1921 and died in a Sherborne hospital on 5 April 2016, aged 95. Michael Earls-Davis was educated at Sherborne and Cambridge University and appeared for Sussex in wartime matches in 1941 and 1945 and for Sussex II in 1947. He also played for Cambridge University in 1940 and again in 1947. A lower order left-hand batsman and right-arm fast medium bowler, he played for Somerset in 1950 and represented the Arabs between 1948-61. The Sussex Cricket Museum has recently been the grateful recipient of a silver cigarette case presented by K.S. Duleepsinhji to Mr EarlsDavis’s grandfather.
DONALD JAMES WEEKES
A son-in-law of the old Warwickshire professional Len Bates, he was reported as having died ‘a while ago’ and information would be welcome at Sussex Cricket Museum. He was born at Horsham 8 May 1930. A right arm fast bowler and tail-end right hand batsman, he played one match for Sussex against Oxford University at the Parks in 1952.
RONALD HENRY WILLSON
He died in Zimbabwe on 5 January 2017 and was on the professional staff at Hove between 1948-57 appearing in 19 first-class matches from 1955-57. Born at Seaford on 14 July 1933 and educated at Burgess Hill, he was a slow left-arm bowler and middle order left-hand batsman who played for Sussex II at the Oval in 1949 when only 15 years of age. The following year he took 5-33 against Hampshire II at Hove. His first team debut was in 1955 and in 1957 he was in ‘splendid driving form’ in an innings of 113* against Somerset in a first-class friendly at Hove, adding 149 with the 46-year-old George Cox. He played for Devon in 1959 but in 1960 emigrated to Rhodesia, representing that country in three first-class matches in 1961-62 and was a coach at Falcon College near Bulawayo. In quite recent years he visited the County Ground for lunches arranged for former players. In a career of 22 first-class matches he scored 411 runs (average 14.17) and took 4 wickets.

DEREK YORK

SUSSEX CRICKET SOCIETY
SUSSEX CRICKET SOCIETY Consolidation came in the form of a further programme of lunches and evening speaking events together with one winter afternoon talk.
Following last year’s Annual General Meeting we had the traditional review of the Sussex cricketing year presented with his usual wit by Dick Holste. In November 2017 there were two events with Alan Butcher, of Surrey and England, entertaining us one evening and Mick Newell, leg break bowler and coach at Nottinghamshire, talking to us after the Autumn Lunch. December 2017 brought David Smith to Hove so that he could give members his thought-provoking opinions on the current game. Last January, Keith Greenfield described his responsibilities, covering the professional players, youth programmes and liaison with clubs throughout the county. He emphasised the county’s desire to get to the stage where they can field at least nine English-qualified players in first XI matches. Last February, Rob Andrew stressed that with new people in post as President, Chairman, Chief Executive, Head Coach and Chairman of the Sussex Cricket Foundation the county would be seeking to improve consistency of performance in all three forms of the game. The next month was hugely entertaining as John Abrahams’ clever presentation had the audience guessing the names of former players and team-mates. He was kind enough to congratulate members on the knowledge shown. The Spring Lunch featured David Steele, of Northamptonshire and England, who kindly stood in at short notice due to illness. The Society’s annual Garden Party was held during the second day of the Specsavers County Championship match against Derbyshire.
New ventures for the Society have come in the form of a change of direction in our support for the county’s cricket. To this end, £1,000 was presented to Keith Greenfield towards the Club’s Youth Development programme. Boys and girls joining the training pathway are guided through the Club’s academy, not only at the five-lane Indoor School but also at training facilities throughout Sussex. Developing this theme, the Society paid a visit to the Brighton Aldridge Cricket Academy where members were told of its work by the Director of Sport, Simon Funnell. Simon detailed the way in which girls and boys who demonstrate a passion for the game can benefit from the facilities. Sussex’s women cricketers also use the centre for both training purposes and as a base. BACA is an MCC Foundation Hub, the only one in a state school so far. News of all these events are publicised by the Society’s Newsletter which now appears 12 times per year and also contains interesting facts and opinions relating to Sussex cricket written by Membership Secretary Chris Scovell. The Society’s greatest problem in recent years has been a reduction in membership. In order to attract new people, the Committee has produced a leaflet detailing the work of the Society and this, together with an insert describing the autumn and winter events programme, has been circulated widely.

REVIEW 2018
Luke Wells congratulates Phil Salt after he made his first Championship hundred at the 1st Central County Ground, against Derbyshire
With three counties going up in 2019, Sussex will not have a better opportunity to end their four-year exile in Division Two of the Specsavers County Championship. Most players, coaches and those watching from the deckchairs at The 1st Central County Ground would agree that the standard in the second tier has improved during Sussex’s spell away from the top flight, but that doesn’t make their absence from it any less frustrating. 36
SPECSAVERS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW 2018
It looked as if it might end during the heat of high summer. Five wins out of six lifted Sussex into second place and a tense three-way promotion battle with Warwickshire and Kent in the final weeks seemed to be coming to the boil. But while Sussex remained strong at The 1st Central County Ground, where they were unbeaten, their challenge faded away from home. Defeats to Middlesex, on one of the worst Lord’s pitches Sussex have probably ever played on, and Durham – where there were 16 scores below 15 across their two innings - proved costly and by the time they slipped to a twoday loss at Northampton in the final match their rivals were already up and playing for the title at Edgbaston. Warwickshire, who had secured promotion with a draw in the final game of the season at The 1st Central County Ground, were deserved champions. During that somewhat dispiriting end to the season, only two fifties were lodged in those three successive away defeats. Sussex struggled for runs all summer away from Hove. After scoring 374 at Edgbaston and 438 for 8 declared at Leicester in the opening two games, they failed to reach 300 in ten more innings. Skipper Ben Brown was scathing in his assessment of some of the pitches they encountered on their travels, and not just at Lord’s, describing some of them as ‘awful’. Their only away success was a tense 27-runs victory at Cheltenham - four days which produced Championship cut-and-thrust at its best, enjoyed by big crowds included many Sussex supporters, and played on an excellent surface. At home it was a happier story. The campaign gained momentum with a three-wicket win over Middlesex in May before Durham and Glamorgan, who pitifully folded inside two days, were both trounced by an innings. Derbyshire and Leicestershire were well beaten too and Andy Mackay and his team produced wickets that Sussex’s seam-heavy attack relished. Unfortunately, the pitch prepared for
Warwickshire’s visit tilted heavily in the batsman’s favour and it was no surprise that Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott, who always seem to relish Sussex bowlers more than any other county, both scored hundreds to effectively seal promotion, Trott’s his last before retirement. Player of the season in the red-ball format was undoubtedly Ollie Robinson. Fit and strong, he played in all 14 games and finished with 74 wickets, taken at a cost of just 18.66 runs each. At times Robinson looked international-class. He may not be express pace, but bowls a heavy ball and his rhythmic, repeatable action made him one of the stand-out performers of the season in either division. His tally included five five-wicket hauls and there was no loss of form as the summer wore on with 28 of his wickets coming in the last four games. He only went wicketless in an innings once and was just as formidable on the road, with half of his scalps claimed away from The 1st Central County Ground. Because of IPL commitments, Jofra Archer didn’t return to the Championship team until Arundel week in mid-June but he still finished with 42 wickets at 17.85 from eight games including eight in a match on three occasions. The dependable David Wiese had a very solid summer both with the ball, taking 41 wickets, and the bat (538 runs at 33.62) while Chris Jordan, who also missed six games, and India’s Ishant Sharma, who proved a capable overseas locum at the start of the season, played their part too. Despite the dry weather Sussex encountered few spin-friendly surfaces, but Danny Briggs played in 12 of the 14 games and picked up 28 wickets. George Garton, Abi Sakande and Stuart Whittingham all found it hard to break into the attack, playing once each, and in December it was announced that Whittingham had moved to Gloucestershire to get more opportunities. Tellingly, no batsman passed 1,000 runs and Sussex badly missed Stiaan van Zyl, who flew home after playing in the first four games with
a knee injury, for which prolonged rest was the only cure. The South African’s experience could have made a difference but in his absence only skipper Ben Brown consistently carried the extra burden. He finished with 912 runs at 43.42, but no one else averaged more than 35. After a golden summer in 2017, Luke Wells struggled for form and Luke Wright, who missed five games with various niggles, found it tough. Jason Gillespie wanted to give others opportunity and Phil Salt, Harry Finch and Tom Haines could all claim to have progressed. All three made their maiden Championship hundreds, Salt and Haines doing it in the same game at Arundel against Durham after Haines had been summoned from a second-team match at New Malden and driven to the ground by his mum. One of Gillespie’s biggest successes was turning Salt, hitherto regarded primarily as a one-day batsman, into an opener who will only benefit from a year’s experience in the front line. Collectively, the batting often relied on contributions down the order. In many games, only Archer was the only player without a firstclass hundred to his name, although that is surely only a matter of time given the quality of his ball-striking. Brown would dearly have loved to have been part of Sussex’s successful T20 campaign, but that enforced absence in mid-summer had a beneficial effect. He led the side well, wasn’t afraid to be critical if he felt it was warranted and kept wicket to a consistently high standard, as well as those nuggetty middle-order contributions in that busy but unflustered style of his. If Sussex can find a few more runs in 2019 there’s no reason why they can’t fill one of those promotion places because the bowling attack will again be potent. BRUCE TALBOT

REVIEW 2018
Laurie Evans was the star of Sussex’s campaign with seven fifties including one against Worcestershire in the final
Regarded by many before the Vitality Blast got underway as the team to beat, Sussex Sharks lived up to the pre-tournament hype to reach their second final. Sadly, there was to be no repeat of their 2009 triumph, but few complaints either when Worcestershire deservedly eased to a five-wicket victory under the Edgbaston lights at the end of another memorable Finals Day. “If we had to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was Worcestershire. They are a very good side and executed their skills brilliantly,” said skipper Luke Wright. Sharks’ campaign reached a crescendo in the final week of the qualifying stage, when they won three games in a row to finish third in the south group. They swatted aside Durham at the Riverside in the quarter-final before Wright’s belligerent 92 – the highest individual score on 60
REVIEW 2018
any Finals Day – helped overwhelm Somerset in the semi-final. But if Wright had made the biggest single contribution in getting Sussex to the final, he then had to bow to his opposite number Moeen Ali. The England all-rounder took three wickets, to help restrict Sussex to 157, and then made 41 in a chase which stuttered for a while before Ben Cox scored an unbeaten 46 to see Worcestershire to their first title. While magnanimous in defeat, Wright and co. were entitled to wonder if things would have been different had Rashid Khan, one of the stars of the tournament, been bowling on a worn, dry pitch instead of watching on a TV in Dublin
as he took part in Afghanistan’s one-day series against Ireland. The brilliant leg-spinner proved an inspired overseas signing with 17 wickets and a willingness to embrace the club ethos not seen since the days of Mushtaq Ahmed. The sight of the 50-strong local Afghan community cheering his every move became a colourful part of T20 nights at Hove. Khan would have relished the exhausted pitch used in the final and although Laurie Evans, the other stand-out performer in Sussex’s campaign, made his seventh half-century and finished the tournament’s leading run-scorer, the Sharks came up just short. A curio of the group stage was that in the driest summer for years Sussex suffered four wash-outs which looked like dealing a terminal blow to their hopes at one stage. On successive nights in early August they were frustrated by rain at the Kia Oval and Hove, when the match against Kent was abandoned without a ball bowled – the second home washout of the campaign. It left the Sharks needing to beat Glamorgan, Gloucestershire – both rivals for a top-four finish and Middlesex to go through. But they managed it – and with a bit of a swagger too. Glamorgan were crushed by 89 runs after Tymal Mills took a brilliant hat-trick to help hustle them out for 88 in just 13.3 overs. The victory in Bristol two nights later was just as impressive. Chasing 160 on a tricky surface, Phil Salt blasted 60 off 30 balls to set the tone before David Wiese used all his experience in making 38 to seal victory with an over to spare. That left Sussex needing to beat Middlesex, who were already consigned to last place, at Hove. A full house lapped it up as Salt (66) and Wright (74) helped Sussex pile up 215 for 5, Wright passing 7,000 format runs in the process. Middlesex gave it a go with Paul Stirling and John Simpson sharing 122 off just 49 balls before Will Beer removed both and their challenge faded away. The quarter-final draw could have been kinder, sending Sussex to the Riverside for their first
ever T20 game against Durham, but the long journey was worthwhile as the Sharks produced a thoroughly professional performance with bat and ball to ease to victory by five wickets with ten balls to spare. It was another night to remember for Evans, who made an unbeaten 63 in Sussex’s chase of 141. Head Coach Jason Gillespie had a hunch that Evans would prosper higher up the order. Batting at no.3 gave him ample time to play himself in and adapt to the situation, whether that be anchoring the chase or utilising his natural ballstriking skills, particularly square of the wicket, to up the tempo. His consistent performances caught the eye around the world and enabled him to hone his T20 skills in franchise tournaments in Bangladesh and Pakistan this winter. Evans thrived on the extra responsibility while Wright and Salt were pretty consistent too, with nine fifties between them. As was the case in the Championship, Stiaan van Zyl’s experience was missed but Gillespie’s decision to rely on home-grown talent rather than a second overseas player, or even a replacement for Finals Day once it was known Khan would not be available, was vindicated. Khan, along with Surrey’s Aaron Finch, were the best of the overseas players but contributions by Danny Briggs (18 wickets at an economy rate of 7.06) and Will Beer were crucial too. Indeed, between them Sussex’s three slow bowlers took more than half (45) of their 89 wickets. While the final itself proved to be a match too far, Sussex look capable of making another strong show in 2019. Khan will be back, at least for the first half of the tournament, while proven matchwinners like Archer, Jordan, Tymal Mills, Wright and now Evans, emboldened by more experience of the format from around the world, will all be around again. It’s a heady mix – and a potentially successful one too. BRUCE TALBOT

REVIEW 2018
Sussex Sharks’ Royal London One-Day Cup campaign was a frustrating experience. In their South Group wins over eventual finalists Kent and at Taunton, where Somerset are rarely outplayed, they offered glimpses of how good a 50 overs team they could be. But when the heat was on, and they needed to win their last two games to reach the knockout stages, they succumbed to Glamorgan in Cardiff and then at against Essex at Eastbourne, despite the compensation of glorious weather and another successful return to the Saffrons. The scheduling of the tournament in the early weeks of the season did Sussex little favours. Indian Premier League commitments precluded either Chris Jordan or Jofra Archer from playing until the last two matches. India’s Ishant Sharma was only available for the first four games while Stiaan van Zyl missed the entire tournament after succumbing to a season-ending knee injury. At times the Sharks played some good cricket, just not consistently enough. “We probably left one or two good performances out there,” admitted Head Coach Jason Gillespie. This year’s scheduling, which sees the tournament begin on Good Friday, means Archer will again miss much of the competition due to IPL commitments, although Jordan and hopefully a fully fit van Zyl will be available. The competition began promisingly enough. In van Zyl’s absence, Luke Wells was given the opportunity of an extended run in 50 overs cricket and initially the signs were promising. The left-hander made a maiden half-century in only his seventh game in List A cricket before Ben Brown, pushed up the order to no.4, saw Sussex to victory against Kent. Those spectators who ignored the royal wedding on TV two days later saw a great game against Hampshire which Sussex should have won. Harry Finch was 82
ROYAL LONDON ONE-DAY CUP REVIEW
Harry Finch acknowledges the crowd after making his maiden List A hundred against Hampshire, who went on to win the Royal London One-Day Cup
dropped twice but went on to make his maiden List A hundred and Luke Wright contributed his 26th half-century in his 200th game in the format. When Hashim Amla was out, Hampshire needed 118 from the last 16 overs but Lewis McManus and Gareth Berg counter-attacked superbly and saw their side to a target of 251 with four balls and two wickets to spare. They went on to win the tournament – not that it offered much comfort to the Sharks. Still, Sussex quickly got back on track with a commanding win at Taunton on a flat pitch. Sussex’s total of 340 for 7 was their highest in a 50 overs game. Wright made 107 from 85 balls and David Wiese and Michael Burgess hit rapid half-centuries towards the end. Somerset were always up with the rate before losing their last five wickets for 26 runs in 22 balls. Unfortunately, any momentum gained was quickly lost with a heavy defeat to Middlesex at The 1st Central County Ground by 75 runs. They were punished by a record first-wicket stand of 198 between Paul Stirling, who made a century despite batting for more than half of his innings with a runner because of a thigh strain, and Nick Gubbins. Only Wiese, with 57, offered much in response. Rain then intervened. Play at Bristol was called off before the start after overnight storms before an even more spectacular deluge left the Kia Oval outfield under water two days later. Suddenly, in a qualifying group as competitive as ever,
Sussex needed to win at least one of their last two games and rely on other results. Two wins would definitely have done it and Sussex gave themselves a chance in Cardiff when they posted 277 for 8 after Burgess and Wiese had revived their batting in a stand of 120 in 17 overs for the sixth wicket. But the Welshmen won comfortably with ten balls to spare thanks to captain Colin Ingram’s unbeaten 95. There was still a glimmer of hope and more than 4,000 people flocked to Eastbourne in gorgeous seaside sunshine to see if they could beat Essex and squeeze through. Evans made his second one-day hundred and Sussex plundered 107 off the last ten overs as Jordan and Archer peppered the small boundaries. The target was 282 but only Briggs offered the necessary control to keep a strong Essex batting unit in check, Tom Westley’s 88 proving decisive. Often the bowling was decent enough but Sussex struggled to post the 300-plus totals which other counties seemed to manage regularly. Two wins was one fewer than in 2017 but after securing just one victory in four campaigns before that Sussex are at least competitive in this format again. The next step is to become more consistent, as Gillespie has identified. BRUCE TALBOT

SECOND XI REVIEW
Tom Haines made his breakthrough in 2018, culminating in a maiden Championship hundred against Durham
Last season was my first experience of running the second XI and it really opened my eyes as to how best to develop and prepare players for first team cricket. Firstly, I believe that no player should be aiming to play second XI cricket for a long period of time. Their aim should always be to perform well enough and show the right attributes to be playing and performing in the first team. This aim can be a little more challenging if a player is playing first-team cricket in one format and therefore does not have the opportunity to stake a claim for a place, for example, in the Championship team by playing red-ball second team cricket. While players are in the second team, it is important that they are using the time to get a greater understanding of how they play at their best and are given opportunities to perform. In terms of players performing well enough and showing the right attributes to play firstteam cricket, there were a number of examples 94
SECOND XI REVIEW
last season. Firstly, Tom Haines displayed all the qualities to show he was very much capable of being successful in the first team. Although Tom did not score a large number of runs in the seconds, he did make an excellent hundred against Essex and played very accomplished innings whenever we came up against an attack with experienced first-class bowlers. It was therefore great for Tom to score his maiden Championship hundred against Durham and to be part of the rest of the team for the rest of the season. Delray Rawlins played very well in second team T20 cricket and then showed his undoubted talent in the first team, putting in a number of valuable performances. On the seam bowling front, Abi Sakande played a lot of second XI cricket and used these opportunities to show that
he has the attributes to be a very effective firstteam bowler. Equally important as preparing players for first-team cricket is giving players opportunities to perform. One example of this is George Garton who has the raw attributes to become an excellent cricketer for Sussex and hopefully to go onto higher honours. George put in some match-winning spells last year, particularly at Gloucestershire where he ripped out their top order in the fourth innings. Ideally, over the next year or so, George will be putting in these types of performances consistently in the first team. For me personally, I felt George made huge strides with his batting. As a result of having fewer specialist batsmen on the professional staff than in recent years, George gained a number of opportunities in the top five which culminated in him scoring a match-winning unbeaten hundred against Leicestershire at Blackstone Academy Ground sponsored by Hurstpierpoint College. Alongside a number of encouraging performances by young professionals, there were also a number of opportunities for the county’s age-group players. Tom Clark played a number of very impressive innings, two of which particularly stood out. Firstly, he scored a very good 60 against a Surrey attack including Stuart Meaker, Matt Dunn, Matthew Pillans and Gareth Batty. Tom also showed great composure and skill against a Middlesex newball attack of Tim Murtagh and James Harris. Jack Carson recorded a five-wicket haul against Essex in a 50-over game and showed good potential for a young off-spinner. Will Sheffield, a left-arm seamer, progressed as did leg-spinner Will Collard which was very encouraging to see. Both have spent the winter in Australia where I am sure their game will have developed further. Although some of the young players did not necessarily make telling contributions, the main aim was for them to experience professional cricket for the first time and they will have more chances to show their
attributes in the years to come. The aim – in line with the club’s wider strategy – is to develop a number of players from our age-group set-up into first-team players like Luke Wells and Ben Brown. We also played a number of triallists looking to gain professional contracts. Aneesh Kapil was a standout performer, scoring two hundreds as well as making key contributions with the ball. Due to the performances and development of a number of our young batters, there was no space on our professional staff for Aneesh, but I hope that a county sees his undoubted talent and gives him an opportunity. Looking at the overall performances of the second team, it must be said that it wasn’t a hugely successful season. After winning the title in 2017, T20 was again our most productive format as we narrowly missed out on Finals Day. In three-day cricket we had some very good games against Middlesex, Leicestershire and Gloucestershire, but the 50 overs competition was disappointing with only one win against Kent. Although results were disappointing, it is important to remember what I believe is important for a second team: helping develop cricketers ready for the first team and beyond. Looking ahead to this season, I would hope to see more telling contributions alongside the potential – so more five-wicket hauls and hundreds. I’d like to give a special mention to Stuart Whittingham who unfortunately was unable to force himself consistently into the first-team squad and has now joined Gloucestershire to increase these opportunities. Stu is a wholehearted performer who will hopefully thrive at his new county. In 2018 Head Coach Jason Gillespie shown great faith in picking young players, who then repaid his faith. That should be a huge encouragement for any player in the second team or coming through our development pathway. MIKE YARDY COACH SECOND XI REVIEW
