Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Lewis is 5th overall in the comp. so far with 20 wickets.

My benchmark for an outstanding season is 30 wickets, so with 3 rounds to go he will go very close to that.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Good news indeed Crow. Thanks for posting these updates and well done Lewis

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

I hasten to add...these 20 wickets are at an average of 16 and an economy rate of 2.85

They do not include one day wickets..3 matches 4 wickets @19 econ 3.08
or T20 wickets (5th overall again) 4 matches 7 wickets @11 econ 5.00

Very, very tidy in all formats of the game.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Brilliant.

This lad has played almost a full Oz season at a standard that is pretty much the equivalent to 2's cricket and has good figures across all formats.

Hopefully he's ready to get back to Hove pre season and hit the ground running and stake his claim, if he can do alright out there then he's got the skills to do it here pre season and then who knows?

We're not in the position to turn away good young quicks so he'll get his go alright...

Good luck son, get back and show people what you can do...

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Can only second that big d looking forward to seeing him this coming season.
Lewis lets see how much you want it,good luck.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

I heard today that Lewis has recently undergone surgery for appendicitis and will only play (at most) 2 of the last 3 games.

He is resting up at the moment but (if he reads this message board) I'm sure he would appreciate a few well chosen words of encouragement.

There would be nothing worse than being banged up in bed, sore as hell, without all of the 'comforts' of home.

All the best for a speedy recovery and getting back to knocking over a few more Aussie batsmen before returning to a successful English season.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Poor lad - get well soon Lewis - theres a place in the Sussex team waiting for you!

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Can only second that sweaty.It could be a big season for the young man.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Robbo mentions developing a pool of young bowlers including "Lewis Hatchett, if he wants to be involved". Perhaps the young lad has other options....

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Lets hope he wants to be involved given the drought of fast bowlers.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

I took that comment to question his attitude, anyone else get that impression?

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

It could be he has other options open to him,lets hope its not the club up the road.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

We have a quartet of seamers bowlers aged 19/20 (Adkin, Thorpe, Hatchett and Rollings) that Sussex need to try and develop further.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

First game back after illness (didn't bowl last game but batted the week before - maybe selection was a bit premature?).

50 overs.

Southern Districts 6/200
Kensington 90 (Hatchett 8-2-21-2) - top order wickets (2&3), rather than charity wickets at the death.

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Following on from some good reports in winter he's taken quite a few wickets recently.

Has anyone watched him for seconds this year? Any eye-witness accounts? What sort of pace is he?

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Decent debut innings supporting wrighty - good luck with the ball today Lewis.  There's an interview with "Hatch" on Sussex TV after close of play yesterday where he talks about his time spent down under.

I know we had this in the lookalike thread some time ago but he does look a bit like Lewis's sidekick - Hathaway (Laurence Fox = Mr Billie Piper who lives in Sussex I believe !)

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Better than looking like the previous Mr Piper.

Good to see Robbo acting fast before any other counties start sniffing round!

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Excellent news

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

well done!  what sort of pace is he?  lewry of old or lewry last year maybe?

life member - you're stuck with me!

Re: Lewis Hatchett in Aus.

Excellent news. Hopefully Adkin, Thorpe and Rollings will follow suit.
