I don't rate Denly extremely highly, but I would do Denly + ? for O'Brien + Brooks or Denly for one of O'Brien/Brooks.

I'd do Denly + Claydon

Deal.

I'll post the transfers.

Nice one

Sidebottom + Nicol for Finn?

Thought I would post my squad list here for you

Marcus Trescothick
Alex Barrow
James Hildreth
Craig Meschede
Nick Compton
Alfonso Thomas
Roelof van der Merwe
Lewis Gregory
Chris Gayle
Albie Morkel
Vernon Philander
Wes Durston
Jos Buttler
Craig Kieswetter
Nathan Buck
George Dockrell
Muttiah Muralitharan
Simon Jones
Shaun Tait
Tim Southee

Also still interested in Finn

Cheers for the squad info Hodge.

And sorry all, I'm currently pretty tight on starting U25 players in my squad, so Finn's verging on not-for-sale barring an incredibly good offer.

Playing XI will be tweaked depending on conditions/injuries but is looking like

Martin Guptil (overseas)
Shane Watson (overseas)
Brendon McCullum (overseas, wk)
Dale Benkenstein (Kolpak)
Eoin Morgan (U25)
Dawid Malan (U25)
Neil Dexter (Kolpak)
Daniel Vettori (Overseas)/Gareth Berg
Jack Brooks/Irfan Pathan
Praveen Kumar (overseas, U25)/Tom Smith (U25)
Steven Finn (U25)

anything for Niall O'brien?

afternoon kiwi

Looking for some english u25 people you got anyone available at all?

i would be prepared to give you james foster for Niall o'brien?

ok i shall confirm, if you take o'brien out of your squad and update the injury list

Crook for Ramps?

Awesome mate, needed a kolpak fast bowler in reserve

If he's English qualified then thats even better

Peterson + Hogg for Morgan?

Very very interested in Steven Finn.

For Samit, it would have to be a front line spinner. Or a batting all rounder, who bowls a bit of spin/seam.
