signing for the T20??

Glad to see Wheater  in the squad. And Taylor and Dixon

Bangladesh media saying he's only here for "8 or 9 games". Probably only going to be available for the first clump of games then going back before our game against Yorkshire. Worth keeping an eye on the Australia wages issue as well, tour of Bangladesh in August could be in trouble.

Could be some unemployed Aussies floating around...after all, there's not as much call for bar staff in these days of austerity...

Honest opinions, is Iqbal much better than Ryder ?

I agree about Wheater and Taylor but Dixon?!!....no, no...NO!!

[Stringbok]

Ironically after years of complaining that the club prioritises T20 over Chanpionship cricket we sit proudly atop Divison 1 and are fielding the weakest T20 team I can recall without a second quality overseas.

I think he is trying to wind someone up.

Bsmith does appear to have his sources, but there is nothing on the ECCC website or twitter about this. Bsmith could mean confirmed as not signing.

Confirmed as signed. Just waiting for visa issues to go through.

Confirmed- as not in the squad for tomorrow announced this afternoon.

Always the odd clown on this forum who when presented with actual real news are very quick to jump down people's throats when it isn't instantly confirmed. As I mentioned, the delay is visa issues.

Merely made a factual statement that he was not in the squad announced. If you read the whole thread you will see I acknowledged that you have sources, never said that your posts were not factual. Absolutely no need for the word that you used. Looking forward to your apology.

Not difficult is it?

Now, now   

Although I trust Deep Throat/Bsmith's judgement.

In and out very quickly...

Shame, was looking forward to seeing him play.

Interesting to see what the club does now. 2 defeats from 2 but 12 games still to go. I reckon we will give Velani or Wheater a chance instead of signing a replacement.

Farce.

Nat,

Why is it a farce?

Do you know the facts of his departure?

If Lawrence was picked ahead of them in the first match then I'm not sure why he wouldn't be given the first opportunity.

Sees himself as being in the know & gets very touchy if his pronouncements are questioned.

Even in jest I recall.
