Oooo, I didn't know Rana Naved went to the dirty Yorkies!

Damn college and it's habit of making me miss important stories.

And I agree Kev, International cricket doesn't count.

 

[Leicester Fox]

Would it be fair to add David Masters and Stuart Broad to Leicesters outs? We have no chance next year, all our faith is now in kolpaks, youth and the odd rubbish Englishman thrown in for a laugh

 

[TheDon]

shane warne is surely hants overseas player?

They were Leicestershire contracted players last season and they won't be next, so yes its fair. The list makes do distinction as to how they left, out of contract, released or retired.

But you make a good point about Kolpaks, already its clear that the one overseas player rule is just going to lead to an increase in kolpak players rather than an increase in young english talent as it was intended to do. Smacks of a knee jerk over reaction rather than a well thought out rule to me.

 

[manee]

A few sources in India said a few months ago that Munaf Patel may play for Worcestershire next season as the overseas player but obviously, this is not confirmed whatsoever.

I was thinking of taking an interest in County cricket, but am wondering who to support. I'll probably just support Yorkshire, just to spite Evo and because they have a few players who I rate.

 

[evertonfan]

Lancashire, coz they are from Lancashire like.

 

[Kev]

shane warne is surely hants overseas player?

Ooops, missed him off probably because he isn't moving and I've only been tracking movements, added to the list.

 

[Leicester Fox]

I thought he was German now? Manee support Leicester, we really do need some help, don't be a glory boy wikipedia has some more up to date ins and outs Kev i think, its where i just saw we lost John Sadler too, this is getting stupid now, our clubs going to be all kolpaks and youth, we need someone to sort it out.

...I cant be a glory boy: I don't know who is good and who is not.

 

[RoboRocks]

I heard that Gary Balance who played the occasional game for Derbyshire is now going to Yorkshire but I'm not certain on that.

 

[manee]

Let's look at yorkshire's squad to see if I should support them...

Gough as captain, I do rate him and always have...Vaughan...nothing much there...

Lets look at Leicestershire:

Nah, no one really there.

Lancashire?:

Jimmy Anderson...good good. Freddie...getting better. Nah, no one else.

Home counties...Surrey and Kent.

Kent:

Nope. Playing for Kent Youth (U10, U11) was the most degrading experience of my life. Put me off them.

Surrey:

Butcher! Ramps! Chris Jordon goes to my mate's school (Dulwich College) and he is talented and quick. And an Indian overseas player. Surrey is looking good for now...

Still many months to decide though...

 

[evertonfan]

Lancashire;

Anderson, Flintoff, Mahmood, Cork, Loye, Law, Hodge, Murali not to mention promising young talent such as Smith and Cross who could very well play for England in the coming years. Errr, and we have Mark Chilton as well.

 

[Animator!]

Ballance has gone to Yorkshire. Very good young prospect that lad is.

Asif is at Surrey as O/S player.

Yes Mark Chilton leads by example.

Finally Worcstershire have got rid of the great alrounder Roger Sillence.
Lets hope Greame Hick can keep going since Worcs need him badly.
