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...

Since when was asif an indian player?

 

[Dare]

cant wait to see Asif, Collins and Saqlain play some of my fav players.

It was Harbhajan. Sorry for the mistake.

 

[Gunner786]

this 1 overseas player rule will benefit the english game loads.
but will lead to certain players leaving their countries alot more now

 

[Animator!]

No it wont. The counties are all scrambling around to replace the position left by the O/S with a big kolpak player, especially if the ruling on Aussies and Kiwi's becoming viable Kolpaks goes through.

Anyway, Rikki Clarke confirmed as Derbyshire captain today

Simon Jones has left Glamorgan and gone to Worcstershire.

Agreed, It will be interesting if the EU does sign a trade agreement with NZ and Aus before the start of the new season, I wonder how this will effect the counties that have already signed overseas talent versus those who have not.

Simon Jones has left Glamorgan and gone to Worcstershire.

He's not quite signed yet I believe. Surely he could have done better though.

 

[Animator!]

I think he's probably got offer the best deal by them. In fairness even the Hampshire offer included certains amount of money not being earned if he wasn't fit etc.

 

[Animator!]

Wavell Hinds has signed a one-year deal with Derbyshire, as a kolpak player.

For god's sake, why can't we have Murali instead of Hodge as our only overseas player?

Chappy for captain, I say! Stewie Law might also be a good choice, Corky's also experienced enough, but I don't think he'll get it.

He can't control himself nevermind a county team.

:bump:

Stewie Law signed a new 1 year contract.

Thank god, he was like our batsman all year last year, until VVS arrived.

Is Henderson still playing for Kent? Hows he been doing lately? I used to know him

 

[Kev]

Henderson played for Middlesex for some of last season, don't know if he'll be playing in England this year, maybe he'll get signed up as a replacement again.

Thats a shame. Can you fill me in on everything Kent have been up to lately please? Who are in form run scorers and bowlers, etc?, I have an interest in them because Kemp, Hall, Martin v. j. and Hendo have all played there.

 

[Kev]

Key was top run scorer for all competitions (He averaged over 70 in Twenty20)
MvJ was the only other player to score over 1000 first class runs for the team, but he really needs to work on starting his innings, he'll get out for 0 or make a huge score.
Ryan McLaren impressed me greatly and was our leading wicket taker.
Hall didn't hardly play for us and has since signed so some two bit division 2 team
Saggers had a great second half of the season after a loan spell to Essex and Cook bowled really well.
As for who's coming in next season, I've not heard anything substantial on the rumour mill, just pie in the sky stuff like Kallis. Kemp coming back has probably been knocked on the head with him being given the vice-captaincy for SA, there were romours he'd sign as a Kolpak, but I don't know how close they came.
