Mulder has just picked up his first IPL gig, signing for SRH in place of the injured Brydon Carse. Good luck to the fella, hope he does well.

I'm sure he would recommend the club to others if asked seeing as we gave him a nice boost

Yes up from £440k last year. Crowds for the T20 blast fell by 28 per cent 

Crowds were poor, however it was baltic most nights and some weird timings

So the figures for the last financial year have been released  just under 568k which was about what was predicted 

Seems I misread the figures actual  losses for last year were nearly £818k £817 916 to be precise

[Graceroad]

How ridiculous  is it that I will be watching Leicestershire this season because I purchased a Notts membership in other words I have given money to a club that don't need it to be able to watch a club that does need the money and I suspect that there  will be a few others doing the same thing

Utter madness

That new commercial director did a fine job.

Excuse me for being thick... is that because you live in Notts so more to see or because Notts is a cheaper membership than ours and includes the recipricol agreement?

 

*edit - I've just seen how much cheaper Notts is  christ...

It's because of the price buying a Notts  membership costs £160 Leicester £240

You seem to get an awful lot more with the  notts one too! 

[Cakey]

I wouldn't take a Notts season ticket if it was free tbh. However I understand the point ridiculous. Crazy really.

Effectively the difference between an international/test match ticket.

Decent interview with Hull:

Handscombe captain, good move 

[Walshy5]

Good call. Seems to be a great leader. Doesn't say he's captaining the T20 side though so I wonder if that means we're still getting Shan Masood?

In The Cricketer it says that Masood still coming for the Blast and to replace Handscomb later on in the Championship. Rishi Patel listed as a candidate for the Blast captaincy.

[Walshy5]

I did here that about Masood but weren't sure if it was still happening as it's gone really quiet. Would be a good signing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[BigWesMorgan]

Who’s this then? Only person I can think of is Keshav Maharaj

 

EDIT: Ah, no. Just Kimber as captain

Edited 14 March by BigWesMorgan

[Cakey]

Odd choice. Nice guy but as captain? I've never seen him.get 50 in a t20 maybe I missed it. Not convinced he should even be in the side. Lacks application and concentration when batting. Bowling average. 

 

Good luck to him. We will get behind him. Needs to improve hugely imo

[Walshy5]

This is a strange choice. Expected it to be Rishi. I hope we're still planning on signing Masood to take Handscombes place in the side. Though something tells me we're not because surely it would've been announced by now to try and help sell tickets.

Utterly hopeless decision this. Not exactly one of the game's deep thinkers is he?

[Voll Blau]

I like Kimber but this is very bizarre. Surely you just give it to Cox?

 

Does make me wonder if England have had a quiet word in case Patel needs to keep himself free around that time...

Patel well down the England pecking order
