Wonder who will take him on. I can see Hants doing it despite us already having 2 good young spinner talents  :-[.

Somerset could do with a quality spinner - Dockrell seems to have faded away.

I think he'd want more remuneration than a signed Jack Russell print though.

Twitter rumours say Essex. At least for the rest of this season.

While I don't condone his actions, I am very surprised Sussex decided to effectively sack him. Surely rehabilitation is the preferred method of dealing with these things (and keeping a good player). Maybe more going on than we know?

RHB was identified to be there via CCTV. It is possible that other Sussex players were also out having a few but weren't picked up. At least he went after Monty when it was obvious he was, um, at leave of his senses to try and help reflects well on him - lesson learned perhaps?

the video is or has been on the net-it just looks really bad. RHB is there as well find it hard to believe a tea total religeous player has got so far down the line he is plastered in a night club

someone will take him on provided he takes a huge pay cut.
Northants sound like they have a great team culture starting out-perhaps not them.

I'm also a little surprised they didnt go down the route of helping a bit but Sussex will know the real story here.

RHB is trouble and unless he sorts his life out he will end up a very average county player.
He said he left Surrey to get away from the bright lights too-looks like he was right back in them

Think northants have said they don't want him.  Would love to see him at worcs. Add a bit of control to the line up. Richardson exempt everyone else bowls 4 balls on regular occasion.

Would love him to pop down to Kent, we could really do with some quality and he would be great for Adam Riley to learn from.

Monty to Essex, gets on with Childs and close to Burns. Hopefully a good signing!

RHB well he seems to be an 'interesting' character

Available for the game against Northants this week @ Colchester as well. The inclusions of Panesar and Gambhir are good additions to the Essex side! What is RHB doing?

From what I've heard there is LOT more to this than just one unfortunate/disgusting incident, and Monty himself was hardly itching to be held to his contract.
