Michael Strong

June 28, 1974

Northamptonshire

Strong only made a two first-class appearances for Sussex, but was best remembered at Sussex for losing a bet and having to run across the outfield in his underpants clutching an inflatable banana. Strong then made the move to Northamptonshire in 2000 taking 31 wickets in his 13 first-class games spanning over two years. During a one day game against Gloucestershire, he conceded a record 99 runs from his nine overs (a new record for the most expensive analysis in the one-day league surpassing Dominic Cork"s 96 conceded against Nottinghamshire in a 50 over game in 1993, though he bowled only eight overs). Now after stopping playing professionally he continues playing cricket as a sports director at a prep school in Sussex.
