It's quite apt that Garry Park chose today to register an excellent all-round contribution, as 72% of those voting rated him the best of our winter recruits.
Both Tim Groenewald and Mark Lawson may well have opportunities in the months ahead, but Park has taken his with both hands and looks a very good acquisition. As a batsman he has shown he can stick it out as well as playing the expansive shots, while he is rated the best cover point in the country.
Add that to the fact that he was Durham's reserve wicket keeper and, as we all know, can bowl a mean medium pace, we look like we've a real renaissance man in the South African born player. I look forward to seeing his progress through this season and beyond.
Now for this week's poll and it's one for the officianado! The cricket world is gradually realising that we have terrific all rounders at Derby. Graham Wagg, Jon Clare, Greg Smith, Garry Park - that's not even mentioning the talents of Dan Redfern, Tim Groenewald and Wavell Hinds!
So who do you thin is the best prospect. We've not seen enough of Groenewald's talents thus far, while Redfern is a fine young batsman who can bowl a little spin. Wavell is also a useful, rather than genuine bowler. But who, from the rest, is the best all round prospect.
Can't wait to see how this one pans out...
