I hope they actually use him though, and they don't use it as a subtle hint to be getting starts you need to be playing Division 1. 

 

[The People's Hero]

Got his signed shirt while he was still here, fortunately.

 

Excellent prospect.

Metrics sound promising, will be a good option to rotate with Finan.

Salisbury signs…

Hmmm …. Feel the same about this as when we replaced Gurbaz with Rutherford. Underwhelmed. But I suppose this kind of signing is where we’re at right now.

Meh

Another needless long-term deal!  How bad are we at negotiating?

[CrawlingFox]

Not the most exciting signing perhaps and a 3 year deal is a bit worrying considering his more recent struggles to get gametime at Durham.

 

However he does have experience and an alright record and has had a couple seasons in the past of reasonable note, 44 at 24.77 in 2018 for example.

 

Given the way players with similar records like Griffiths and Davis have come here and had their careers flatline I'm going to remain on the fence but I do hope he can rediscover his previous form.

 

Our bowling returns in the 4 day competition this season were shocking, so if Salisbury can come in and match his career average of 33 then I'd be very chuffed to be honest.

Bonkers. 3 years for a second team player. I can't believe there was a long list of counties competing for him

[Tommy Fresh]

He's probably rocked up and told Jarvis and co that Notts have offered him a mega deal but he'd sign with us for less if we give him 3 years and they've just lapped it up.

Fvck me turns 30 in April and in 43 FC matches has 1 5wkt hall. About on a par with others at the club who cant make the grade. Not sure if the management want us to lose first class status

Ackermann playing for the Dutch in the T20 this morning.

[CrawlingFox]

Looks like Nick Welch is over in Zimbabwe for the Winter, a handy 90 in his first 50 over game.

 

Didn't do Ben Compton any harm last year so let's hope he comes back in similar form!

 

Edit: Ben Curran is also out there but playing as a local player and seemingly committed to trying to get international selection. Given up on County Cricket? I only mention him as we were linked with a Northants batter earlier in the season.

If we are skint… I’d like to think we’re looking at some of these smaller nations for talent, someone like mohammud waseem from UAE for t20 would be good.

 

[CrawlingFox]

Given Gareth Delaney was pretty decent for us in the Blast a couple years ago I'd certainly not mind us having a look at Curtis Campher.

Agreed. Trumpleman 90mph also. 

 

What about Blessing Musarabani from Zimbabwe? 

 

I think Ackerman has three ducks in a row......

Madhevere is meant to be pretty good isn't he.

I'd really like us to take a punt on someone like Dewald Brevis for the T20, although I'd rather we threw money at someone with a good record in all 3 formats. Brevis hasn't played enough red ball to judge him properly in that format though and think we need someone who's guranteed to provide a solid base 9 times out of 10.

I’d probably guess we’d have Mulder and Naveen back if available

Yeah we’d have them back….. Naveen must be sick and tired of bowling brilliantly being the highest wicket taker but having very little back up to get us over the line

Rushworth leaves Durham…….

 

surely not

Don't get your hopes up, he's going Warwickshire.
