Ed Giddins, sacked by Sussex after failing a drugs test two years ago,
plays against his old team-mates in a specially arranged benefit match
for Peter Moores at Hove on July 6. Warwickshire fast bowler Giddins
lines up in a former Sussex XI against the current county team in aid
of Moores, the long-serving wicketkeeper. Former captain Alan Wells,
batsman Martin Speight, leg spinner Ian Salisbury and all-rounder
Danny Law, who all left Sussex in the exodus from Hove two years ago,
also return.
Essex all-rounder Stuart Law will have surgery on a shoulder injury at
the end of the championship season in an attempt to reclaim a place in
Australia's team for next year's World Cup.
Law has told Queensland Cricket officials he expects to have an
operation before advancing his national one-day team claims in the
Sheffield Shield competition with Queensland later this year.
The state association said today that Law, 29, expected to miss some
of the Australian pre-season upon his return from Essex where he is
leading the batting averages with 48.18. Law lost his place in the
pecking order for the international one-dayers last Australian summer
when a wrist injury sidelined him for a month.
