Another one bites the dust

One player we won't be signing is Rana Naved ul Hasan. I read a piece today that said that he has re-signed with Tasmania for next winter and is close to a deal with Sussex to return there in an overseas capacity.

Ho and indeed hum. Yet he remains the TYPE of player we could do with. I've likewise been impressed by what I've seen in the IPL of Chaminda Vaas, a fine left arm bowler who can also wield the willow effectively. Now he is finished with international cricket he may fancy a stint in the T20 in England and is still a very good bowler, as evidenced by a hostile opening spell the other day

This week's poll should show how many of you agree with me, but much will depend on who is available, as I've said all along.

A slight worry for Derbyshire in that Chris Rogers was unable to take his place in the Victoria side for the Sheffield Shield final against Queensland. Rogers has a fractured knuckle in his left hand, sustained while fielding. He missed the last match of the league season with the injury and was named in their squad but dropped out. From a purely selfish and Derbyshire perspective I'm glad, as Buck is integral to our chances of success in 2010. He now has just under a month to get fit and be ready for our opening match of the season.

For those who want to listen to some cricket sooner than April, Yorkshire Radio have travelled to Barbados to broadcast on their side's matches in the pre-season. If you're interested, the details can be found by clicking the link below

Must be a tough gig, wouldn't mind that one myself. Mind you, I don't know if I could watch Yorkshire all the time...

See you soon.

  1. Not surprising to see Radio Derby not there seeing as they cant even cover away games in this country. Shame on Colin Gibson.

    If they put 1% as much effort into commentating on the cricket as they do on the football we would be okay.
