They won two consecutive promotions to div 2 and then had a good finish in their first season in that division.

As i play and have played both teams. Ill have my input.

1. East dean is a shithole. That thrive on having a cheating umpire (when no umpires were issued). And have 1 player in chad chisholm. Who quite frankly isnt that good. We played East Dean in the only game he didnt play and beat them. I won the game with a 6 from a slog sweep, frankly their bowling was awful. I didnt feel troubled by their openers at all.

2. As for poor grounds the worst ground in Firle and Forest rows division ia willingdon. Just as bad as east dean and the pavilion is a small shed.

I played at East Dean a couple of years back. Given out run out when I was actually stood in the crease. I'd backed up a bit but was back in the crease before mid off picked it up and underarmed it to the bowler who jokingly took the bails off and said how's that, umpires finger was up quicker than Ben Stokes' red mist! Their skipper told me not to go anywhere and told the ump he was wrong.

Our no.3 was giving LBW gloving it straight back down the wicket to the bowler. The debate went on for atleast 5 minutes maybe even longer and their captain refused to retract the appeal.

When we played them at home the ump triggered me as soon as one hit my pads. I couldn't complain about it though as it hit me below the knee on middle, but he gave it so fast that I reckon I'd have been gone even if it was missing a second set.

I had Haywards Heath CC get in touch last night with a big spiel trying to sell their project to me. I've never spoken to anyone from there so I was quite surprised, only thing I can think of is one of my uni coaches said something.

I wont be going there though, I'm committed to Ansty, been doing some winter coaching and a couple of socials, really nice bunch of lads. They're also in the same division as Haywards Heath, relegated to Sussex div 2 whilst HH were promoted to it so no change in standard.

Having played both teams a fair few times I would say Ansty are your best bet. Hayward�s Heath is a great place to play as a batsmen....but ansty have always been better blokes

@mohawks94 make sure you play well, otherwise you might get dropped to their 2's and play me.

I'm looking forward to the challenge at a new level with a nice bunch of lads.

Ansty have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome since I rocked up for a net last summer, have got me involved in socials etc. I see it as a chance to write a new chapter in my career, leave all the baggage of my old club behind me and hopefully push on and have a shot at county cricket. I'm told that Ansty have recruited a Sussex bat for next season, and two of the ladies are on the England elite development set up so a good club all round.

If I do play badly I will no doubt deserve to be dropped!

They are a good club, say hi to Stephen Rustling and Luke Forster if they still play there. Former team mates.
