Profile
An Irishman who always held ambitions to play at the very highest level, Ed Joyce was an important part of Middlesex's middle-order for a decade from his debut in 1999. Born in Dublin, and from a large family with four brothers and four sisters, Joyce was a star for Ireland at ICC Trophy level, scoring 758 runs in 14 matches between 2001 and 2005, at an average of 84.22. However, he completed his English residency qualification in 2005, and made his one-day debut against Ireland in 2006 before seemingly cementing his place with good performances in Australia and then against lesser opponents in the 2007 World Cup, although questions began to be raised about his fluency and he was discarded after England's dismal tournament. His county form was not enough to push his claims for a recall, and after an unhappy 2008 he severed his ties with Middlesex and moved south to Sussex.
