Regular readers will know I have advocated this for some time and the tall left-hander thoroughly deserves te opportunity after a string of fine displays for the Seconds. His first innings against Kent will have done him no harm either and I am sure that he will work very hard over the winter to improve his game still further. The likelihood is that he and Paul Borrington, another who has had a prolific campaign, may be competing for one position next year and such healthy competition can only be good for the side.
Well done Matt!
Yes - great news! On the other hand - will his (Borrington's) lastest awful scores finally spell the end for Paul Borrington?
ReplyDeleteDoubt it mate, when he's got a three year deal. He'll come again
ReplyDeleteI am not so sure about a 3 year deal for Borrington but I am happy that Lineker has got another deal.

Well done to Lineker and also to Krikken. He deserves the chance and i wish him well.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn,t have given Borrington a 3 year deal either. I just don,t think the lad is capable of making the step up to county cricket. He may prove the doubters wrong,but i fear that he wont. He should really have been given two or three games earlier in the season. I doubt he will feature in the final game at Surrey.
To be fair though Marc he wasn't fit at the start of the year when he damaged his ankle ligaments in training. He was in good form then had to fight back to fitness and a place.
ReplyDeleteYes that was unfortunate and certainly didn,t help his cause. As i say,he may come through in the end,but he has to start making the most of any opportunity that may come his way.
