The batting has managed just 4 50s and a ton in 11 games. The same as Derbyshire's Wayne Madsen on his own.

Notts field placing, bowling excellent. Leics batting ? Did not seem to be actually trying, all a bit worrying.

That’s exactly what I thought last Sunday,, they didn’t seem to be trying.

Ha! Fair point!

I thought we would do better in this, have been surpised

[MaidstoneFox]

Not sure what they do with the Mulder situation going forward for next season. 

 

He's economical in red ball and had played some big innings, though not consistently this year.  But in T20 he doesn't seen dynamic enough with bat or ball to occupy one of the overseas spots. Really you need match-winners in those roles.

Shambles

[Bert]

Parky, Wright and Ackerman have all rejected contracts and will leave for other clubs in the summer.

Read that Ackermann and Parkinson are off to Durham. If Wright's not retiring then we should be chucking a few more quid his way.

[Graceroad]

Been told numerous  times that there are problems behind the scenes with Sean Jarvis he needs to go along with Henderson

[CosbehFox]

Parky I think we all knew. Ackermann has been very much of a muchness for a while now. Does strike me a little bit we don't want to make market rate. 

 

Wright is the real loss. 

[Graceroad]

Well be amazed if Patel signs a new contact

Ackermann averages over 40 every season its a huge loss

Rumour has it he had the cheek to ask for a two year contract rather than a one year one. 

[SemperEadem]

We will struggle to replace them.

[katieakita]

Too much negativity losing Parky,Ackers and Wright will give us the chance to bring in some  bang average cast offs from other counties shite nobody else will touch. Our back room staff will find something past the shocking injury list and poor averages they will have

Normally mid-30s (35 and 34 first class last two seasons). Averaging just over 40 this season. 

Last year greatly assisted by the 277* he scored at Hove

Never get a full season out of him sadly due to Netherlands and the Hundred. 

Outside of Budinger, he has the lowest batting average for us at the Blast this season from the regular batsmen. (17)  

Just the one wicket in the Blast this season too. 

 

Actually think we are being fairly wise.

That's us fully ****ed then, thought we'd have an issue of him retiring, not going elsewhere

I think our recruitment for next season is going to be key and Nixon has the opportunity to refresh the squad.

 

I've heard Ackermann and Parkinson are both already off and that's a lot of experience out the door.

 

Patel is out of contract I think and both Scriven and Kimber may be as well give both signed their last deals in 2021 with lengths undisclosed. Hopefully they were 3 year deals not 2 but keeping hold of those 3 should be number one priority.

 

Ahmed is tied down long term, Hill and Salisbury are signed until 2025 with Finan, Hull and Budinger until 2024.

 

I believe Evans, Steel, Lilley, Barnes and Davis are all out of contract and I'm not sure any really warrant new deals unless it's purely for depth/backup. Wright is as well and could retire.

 

Welch and Walker may be out of contract too as well as neithers contract length was disclosed when signing and again I'm not sure there is a strong case to keep either though both could still make a case and I do like Welch who just seems to need a big score. Swindells I can't find anything on.

Quote of a previous post above on where I think contract statuses could be.

 

Wright is a huge, huge loss. Frequently been carrying our bowling for the last few years.

 

Parkinson often the other bowler to finish a season with respectable numbers also off is also a blow.

 

Ackermann perhaps not been at his peak over the last few years but a lot of experience gone and can we find someone as good to replace him? Probably not.

 

Patel will surely have clubs courting him and I think numerous others may be out of contract as above possibly including Kimber, Scriven
