I'm fairly sure he was tied with someone at 5 limited overs trophies, can anyone think of anyone with 6 or more titles ??
I can't think of anyone who has had as much success as Slug in terms of winning trophies.
A player would not only have had to have had a lot of success (which isn't that common for Hants as I believe our C & G in 2005 was the first trophy for 13 (thirteen) years, but also had a long career, Players such as Greenidge had long careers but would only have picked up the Championship & a couple of Sunday Leagues - unless someone was in tghe etam for all 3 Sunday Leagues? Even if they were they would not have won nore than 4 trophies altogether as we never even reached finals of one day tournaments, let alone won them in those days!
Players such as Bates at least have won some silverware with Hants in their relatively brief careers & hopefully we will find a county.
Tommo was ecstatic over winning CC2 as it was his first ever professional trophy.
Different topic ; just been reading the first ever Wisden Cricketer magazine of October 2003.
It features 8 young wickies to watch out for. The freshfaced lads are:
Mustard (Durham)
Foster (Essex)
Wallace (Glamorgan)
Jones (Kent)
Read (Notts)
Gazzard (Somerset)
Ambrose (Sussex)
Prior (also Sussex)
I hadn't remembered that Ambrose (once suggested as a Hants keeper as was Foster) was once Sussex & whatever happened to Gazzard???
