Ben Cox leaving is now official! Nice one Thomas for not putting your ego to one side to allow us to keep one of the best wicket keepers in the country! 😡

You reckon? Hope so for him. Got three keepers though. But he is excellent

Basically dodged the question like politicians.

I was told by someone who's well connected there its a cash issue.

I wonder if they will keep hold of Ahmed as it looks a pretty uninspiring squad if he leaves too!

 

If we do end up going down Budinger will do a good job at the top of the order and we will need Handscomb to come back and keep as don't rate Tattersall.

Batting or keeping?

[narboroughblue]

Either. We need better IMO.

You'd hope that Tattersall will be good enough for Div 2.

 

Clearly not in the same league as Cox with bat or gloves though, he's going to be a huge loss.

I actually don't want all the points back there is no financial benefit to being in division 1 over 2 and I think it's better for the rebuild that will happen over the next two years to start in division 2 again. 

 

Also from a supporter perspective games against sides with such obvious gulfs in class especially in the bowling ie Warwickshire are quite boring to watch. 

 

A good result would be the suspended points and 5 grand back. 

I would be fairly confident that we could mount a promotion bid again if we have Holland nipping out the top 3 or 4 every game, backed up by Davey and both Greens.

 

I've no idea, but I'm assuming that sponsorship and general income is a bit higher in div 1.

Signed Josh Blake so he will keep. Not saying he us brilliant but seen him play a few times, tidy, decent bat

If that’s becuase of Thomas, Im starting to hate Thomas. The chaos is just not worth it.

this is on a par with offering Vestergaard a three year contract.

I bet Thomas was in his ear telling him not to offer him anything! 😡
