Yorkshire County Cricket Club had been my home over the past year. Signed up at the beggining of last season, I had shown so much potential to make it. I batted left handed and bowled Medium Fast, playing most of the season in the 2nd XI having a good season scoring 1400 runs in all competitions and taking 69 wickets with of average of 40 and 15.43 respectively. However it is my appearences in the Friends Provident T20 where were I really shone. I was selected for 8 games in the FPT20 scoring 346 runs with an average of 69.2 and taking a handful of wickets. Performances in other 1st XI games have got people talking about me.
My Yorkshire Contract is now at an end and they don't wish to re-sign me right now so it's time to move home. I have recieved contracts from 3 different counties all of which would have advantages and disadvantages. The three offers where from:
Glamorgan- A good option for playing time as I would more than likely make the starting XI first game. However they aren't the strongest of teams and won't make the biggest challenge for trophies.
Lancashire- One of the best teams in the Championship. The old enemy but the team has good chances of success. Would be more of a push to make the starting XI but I would be suprised if I was sat in the 2nd XI for too long.
Essex- A top team that will put up a challenge in all competitions. Success here could really boost my name however with an incredibly strong first team could be very hard to get 1st team cricket in the coming season.
So there's 3 offers on the table here giving me one hell of a decision to make. Glamorgan, Lancashire or Essex? All tempting in their own way this was going to take a while to decide. Which team will I choose?
