I wouldn't be all that surprised.

So then Mr ITK. Any idea if there's any chance of us getting Naveen back?

[Silebyfox_89]

Still think we're a class batsmen light, Rahane seems to have gone cold but the cricketer says its a done deal? Confused.

Those were pretty non commital comments though, if he hadn't of signed you'd of hardly been berated for saying what you did.

[BigWesMorgan]

The scenes.

[Bert]

Great news! 

[Voll Blau]

Absolutely buzzing for the lad, amazing stuff.

 

Remember though, counties like ours need culling for the good of the national team. 

[BigWesMorgan]

Out of interest, when was the last time someone actively playing for us was in the england squad?

Broad got in the one day squad just before his Notts move irc.

Similarly Taylor was in the Lions but his move to Nott$ really kicked him on with the selectors.

James Taylor made his ODI debut while with us in 2011, according to Cricinfo.

[Tommy Fresh]

Class that is, hopefully if he does get game time the pitches are better then when Australia toured

[Corky]

Amazing news.

Wasn't Paul Nixon in the world cup team 2007?

Yep. Snape also got a T20 cap the same year.

There's one who really wasted his talent.

Slightly worried this may have not quite been the signed sealed deal we all hoped it was.

He certainly did but still had one of the best Ashes sledging comebacks of all time to his name!

Ackermann has bagged himself a franchise contract in this year's BPL.

 

Incidentally so did his Netherlands team mate Max O'Dowd who looked handy in the World Cup. If Naveen isn't coming back then I wonder if he'd be worth a look up top for us in the Blast?

 

May depend on what Finan can add to the attack as although we're well covered for spin with Ackermann, Ahmed and Parky we'd be completely reliant on Mulder and Finan for pace unless Scriven or someone came in.

If we can't get Naveen back then I wouldn't be against giving Hendricks a go in T20. He did good for us in the one day cup.

Could we tap up any of Naveens team mates? Like Farooqi? Naveen has been so good for us, need to go all out and get him back.

The fixtures are out. Bad day for the clubs website to be down.

[CosbehFox]

Some standouts from the fixtures 

 

- Blast fixtures start late May bank holiday. Friday night at home to Warwickshire. That weekend on Monday away at New Road. 
- Oakham School has a CC fixture in July v Worcs 

- July might have Glamorgan away  in CC at an out ground 

- ‘Tough’ one day cup group which by way means we will play a lot of top counties weakened. Surrey a looks an out ground, Kent a at Beckenham,

A chap on 24/7 cricket forum saying it's done but may not be announced until Feb time.

[Cakey]

Will Davis extends. Once again, extending a contract for someone who seldom plays is seldom selected when fit. 

 

I really don't understand it to be honest.
