"Brilliant, I can go out in Heathfield..."

After an injury to Mushtaq Ahmed, and mindful that Luke Wright will be off with England, for most of the summer, Sussex have signed the West Indies allrounder, Dwayne Smith, to play in the domestic Twenty20 competition. Though his batting average of 9.75 makes you wonder if D'uane Ladejo might have been a better bet, his strike rate of 128.3 hints at what might lie ahead, and he is renowned for his intelligent bowling that has given him an average of 15. "I think it's an exciting signing," said skipper Chris Adams, "I haven't a great knowledge of Dwayne but he is a great fielder, hits the ball a very long way and is an improving bowler."

Well Chris, let us be of help, click here to see Dwayne in action.
