I hope you read James Worley’s excellent article a few weeks ago, in which he discussed Sussex’s best overseas signings in List A cricket.
It brought back some fond memories. It also reminded me of what a total horlicks Sussex made of overseas signings in the early years. They really did allow some gold dust to slip through their fingers.
By the 1960s, the post-war boom in county cricket attendances had slowed and something had to happen to pep up the game. This was done, largely, through the introduction of one-day cricket, the Gillette Cup (1963) the John Player League (1969) and the Benson and Hedges Cup (1972).
