County Ins and outs

I have created this thread, in case of transfers between the different counties..If you hear of a deal being made, we can write it here, and see how activity there is between now and the start of the season

Yorkshire- Ben Sanderson released.

Nice idea cf.

thanks just thought it was good so we know who is at our respective counties next season

I know this one was confirmed a few weeks ago but thought I would add it to the list for any feedback


Jon Lewis Gloucester to Surrey

Joe Denly to Middlesex from Kent.
Van Jaarsveld to Leicester from Kent.

Are these confirmed???

I hope kent having replacements lined up as they are two big departures.

im very suprised about van jaarsveld to be honest.

Yeah, confirmed.

wouldnt suprise me if chapple retired now..He has just won the county championship as skipper with lancs, he is having problems with injury he could go out on a high, and maybe be their bowling coach, the lancs players have a lot of respect for him.

Very happy about Van Jaarsveld heading to Grace Road!

Yeah that is a good signing for Leicester.

We(Worcestershire) have David Lucas joining us from Northants.Was confirmed earlier in the summer.Hopefully he does as well as Richo.

Very good signings for Middlesex and Leicester, a bit gutted about Denly as I would have liked him at Surrey as a more solid and regular opener to partner Hyphen.

i would love it grayson signed us a decent spinner for essex, cos phillips is good one day spinner, but awful in the county championship

Andrew McDonald won't be returning to Leics at all next year, due to visa problems. But Abdul Razzaq will be back for the T20's.

However, it should be noted that depressedsurreyfan remains on standby and could return at short notice.

Any chance he could turn out on loan for Gloucs, just to maintain his match sadness?
We promise you could have him back when necessary (probably at the end of next season).

you would think that would be a huge blow for the foxes to be honest.

rumour has it that neil carter could be out of warwickshire

wonder how long hoggy will continue to play for, he will be 36 next season, he's already dropping in pace, now bowls 80mph at the highest, how long do u think he will continue to play for?

haha lol, strengtns the side somewhat

Maybe heretical - but I think it would not be a bad time for Ramps to retire. I don't like to see him struggle.

Hoggy too - I think he should consider going out on a high with the T20 win....

Corporal - in case you haven't caught up with the wallpaper site yet, just to mention there's reference there to Ramps recently tweeting about having an injection for his back and separately a hospital operation. Whether the op related to his back, knee or something else isn't apparent.

All in all, far from encouraging although I don't think Ramps will throw in the towel until having given things every chance during this winter.

Agree about Hoggy. Seemed far past his best when I saw him bowling in the County Championship at the Oval this summer. Shame.

Somerset have signed Roelof van de Merwe as their overseas player for this season, replacing Murali Karthik, and he starts in June. They are still looking for a playing to play the first two months of the seaosn for them. This is all dependent on Van de Merwe not getting valled up to the SA squad for their tour to England!

Also, Pollard returns for the T20's for his third season with the Cidermen.

Surrey have released Chris Schofield aftwer six years at the county.
Anyone interested or is it The Minors for the former England leggie and useful batter?

I think Schofield could do a useful job for another county. OK he's proved not to be good enough bowler for the four day game but he had made valuable contributions with bat and ball in limited overs. Also a good fielder and someone who gives 100%

bring him to essex! we need a spinner, and schofield is better than phillips.

Boom Boom Afridi coming back to Hampshire for the 20/20's

CF -I see that Phillips has now got another deal with Essex for 2012.....

Not exactly an "in" but more of a "staying in". Lancefield and Jewell have signed new one year contracts with Surrey. Neither has so far made an impact and Lancefield was injured most of the 2011 season.

Good to see them get a further opportunity, although I rather fear their first team appearances will continue to be limited. I think they will need to put in consistent outstanding performances in the second XI to force their way into the team. With pace/seam options of Tremlett, Dernbach, Meaker, the Viscount, Lewis, Jordan, Dunn, the Brain....it's difficult to see how Jewell will get into the team short of spate of test calls and injuries...

Very surprising news given the strength in bowling and the seeming reluctance to give Lancefield a go in any form last season. I suppoe we don't really have much batting depth so he may well come in handy to cover injuries and he will have to prove his ability when that happens. Good luck to them both though!

Corporal - very much agree with your sentiments and fears. To the pace/seam options, you can also add 'Boy' George Edwards who, although not making the starting XI, was in the first team squad for the last few Championship games.

The likes of Lancefield, Jewell, Edwards and Dunn will hopefully get a chance in the pre-season games next year. Any chances offered will need to be taken quickly with both hands.

I also hope Adams considers sending some of the younger second eleven players out on loan to Division 2 Championship sides. That might be beneficial to all.

i wonder if yorkshire will make any decent signings, that releagation must have stung them.

they can have tim phillips

Kent release Robbie Joseph

Outs: Denly, Joseph, V.Jaarsvald
In: Powell?

hasnt the kent coach resigned as well?

Resigned or re-signed?

Farbrace has left the club if thats what you are asking

kent are being ripped apart by lack of budget, yet they seem to have enough to redevelop their ground.....

Yeah, its killing us. Not enough cash for Overseas for the last two season either. Really sad times

Kent has been left in a messy state, but brought on by themselves...

instead of re-developing the ground they could have brought some players instead

derbyshire have signed david wainwright, steffan jones has been releaed by derby, with Greg smith joining Essex

Kyle Coetzer has joined Northants, and Ben harmison has been released by durham

Essex have let Chris Wright go

Glamorgan have signed Marcus north as their overseas player, they have also brough Simon Jones back from Hampshire

lecistershire have let Harry Gurney join Notts

Somserset have released Charl Willoughby

It seemed odd last season that Wright went on loan from Division 2 side Essex to Warks who were pushing at the time to win the Division 1 County Championship ....

i thought wright was one of our better bowlers, and deserved more of a go.

cricketfan90 wrote:i thought wright was one of our better bowlers, and deserved more of a go.

I wonder if there was a personality issue. As touched on before, strange that he wasn't in the Essex team and then almost ends up winning the County Championship with Warks ....

hmm must have been...

Grayson can rub some players up the wrong way.....we need a quality overseas bowler for next season and not Tsotsobe!!!!!!!!!!

also we need some good batsman, we have already signed Greg smith but he isnt quality

Wonder whether Harmison will get another county - don't know much about him but I had the impression he is a bits and pieces sort of player who can bat a bit and bowl a bit but isn't really front line....

we will take him at essex lol
