May as well start a new thread about this ongoing story. The rumours were correct regarding his approach.
I can understand Sussex fans not being happy but what on earth have Surrey done wrong? This is NOT an illegal approach - Surrey have asked Sussex permission to speak with RHB with a view to offering him a deal. Sussex fans are over-reacting massively over this and saying it is a disgrace etc etc - join the real world please - these approaches happen all the time in the business and real world we live in - ever heard of headhunting ?
As long as it is all above board unlike Chelsea and Kakuta etc then no issues. I am sure Sussex are upset that this has happened but Surrey have done nothing wrong and at end of the day RHB is Surrey lad through and through. He is no world class player but Adams I am sure can see something in him and is taking a big risk. It is down to our appauling management over the last few years that he left in the first place.
Time to wait and see what occurs but if he chooses to leave Sussex then it is quite clear that his loyalty has always been with the county of his birth or else he will stay with Sussex. My opinion for what it is worth is that i was never sorry to see him leave as he was not showing any potential with ball or bat in our second XI. It appears he has started to work at his game more since leaving but this was always the issue at Surrey - players esp young ones not putting the hard work in and relying on their young talent......
