I suspect it will be the pros plus Chadwick and Young. I wonder if Rollings and Hatchett will be taken to gain experience what with Adkin and Thorpe at University.
DOES ANYONE NO WHEN THE SQAUD IS PUBLISHED ON THE WEBSITE.

and Chadwick.
The squad is as follows:
Ragheb Aga,
James Anyon,
Will Beer,
Ben Brown,
Michael Chadwick,
Joe Gatting,
Andrew Hodd,
Chad Keegan,
James Kirtley,
Chris Liddle,
Matthew Machan,
Robin Martin-Jenkins,
Chris Nash,
Monty Panesar,
Ollie Rayner,
Michael Thornely,
Luke Wells,
and Mike Yardy (captain).
.............Keegan back again as well
Keegan in fine form - just has a one day contract like last season because of his back but I think we can expect to see him as an important part of the one day teams defence of the double,
As Chad took the time to come to the quiz - hes alright by me!
Where does it say Keegan has a one-day contract? I really can't see the point of Keegan being here as I think he will just hold back the likes of Anyon, Aga and Liddle. If Keegan is central as AEW puts it to our hopes of retaining our two one-day trophies god help us! I would rather have seen Young, Rollings or Hatchett taken for the experience instead.
Pleased to see Wells, who is now free of University commitments and Machan named in the squad and there should be opportunities for both out there with only six batsmen named in the squad.

Its going to be an important tour as well for rags and lidds i think its going to shape there season and robbo and the coaches will be looking for them to have made progress and look fully fit for me there season starts here for them 2 players they need to make an impression or they could find themselves in there last year at the club.
Batting wise also there is a massive carrot there to play themselves into the 1st game of C.C against slurrey,lets hope someone takes that chance.
Sharkey, you keep on telling us about Rollings, so far as I can find out he was injured/not fit last season and played very few games, if any!
Until he plays in the SCL in a 1st team and gets wickets he should not be considered in any Sussex team.
Please refrain from including him in any team/squad selection until he has some stats behind him.
Lets talk about those that are fit and do play, Thorpe, Adkin and Hatchett.
The squad is as follows:
Ragheb Aga,
James Anyon,

Strongest XI out of that...............?
Nash
Yardy
Gatting
Thornley
Wells/Machan
Hodd
RMJ
Rayner
Keegan
Kirtley
Monty
Anyon instead of Keegan.
Stonefish - I can see where you are coming from as I am at a bit of loss as to why Rollings and Endersby have represented Sussex 2XI given how little they have done and yet Jones who scored three centuries last season hasn't! Robbo seems to rate Rollings. However, like you I would like to see him perform in the Sussex League first and prove that he can go through a season without getting injured. For me Adkin and Thorpe look the best of the four and have performed in the Sussex league for 2 / 3 years now. Hatchett had a good 2009 season but needs to back it up with a good 2010. With Adkin and Thorpe at Uni until June Rollings, Hatchett, Glover and Endersby are likely to be the four seamers selected.
