Encouraging News for Chris from Stroud ....

Gloucs wicket keeper batsman Jonathan Batty (who, I think it's fair to say, has never totally won over Chris from Stroud) is apparently in the running to return to Surrey as second eleven coach.

Others in the mix for this post who might yet scupper Batty's chance and Chris' hopes include former Surrey stalwart Ali Brown and Paul Farbace, until recently head coach of Kent.

Oh, thank you, Guildford, thank you.

Tell me more, tell me more.
(Was it love at first sight?
No, but it was probably a duck after a very long time scratching around at the crease.)

Oh, the lure of Division One cricket; fingers crossed that it is irresistible.

I think that GasheadinChelt might be pleased too, though I think he is over on not606.

Chris - order him to return to barracks at once! Going AWOL from 606v2 is not allowed

was batty any good in limited overs cricket?

Sorry, Corporal, we're an ill-disciplined lot in the West Country.

He wasn't any good (for us) in any form of cricket, other than to block the path of promising youngsters into the team. I think Surrey got rid of him at the right time (for them).

ah right lol fair enough, seems harsh.
