Sussex CCC sack their captain
« on: July 26, 2021, 11:29:15 AM »
Just picked this up:

Ben Brown is being replaced as captain of Sussex's county championship and One Day Cup sides.

A Sussex statement said: "Sussex Cricket’s men’s 50-over and Championship teams will be led by new captains. Tom Haines will captain Sussex Sharks in this season’s Royal London Cup. A captain for Sussex’s remaining LV= Insurance County Championship fixtures will be announced in due course.

"Permanent appointments for the roles will be made following the conclusion of the 2021 season. Luke Wright remains Sussex Sharks T20 captain.

Certainly there's a short list of successful wk/skippers, but the likes of Rod Marsh would disagree.

Given Butterfield and Pepper arr supposed to keepers, and the clubs tendency to sit on their hands i don't think BB will be moving to Chelmsford.

Fozzy’s captaincy was certainly the stuff of nightmares.
