Based on last year all had a lot of work to do to get to that stage and I am not convinced you can spend money on 'just in case' players.<br /><br />Besides, if things turned bad, the loan market will be there again and could be utilised.<br /><br />My concern, as I have written before, is the dearth of REAL quality spin around the globe and I can only think of a couple of genuine options.Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-47198994293697209542018-01-28T14:35:45.814+00:002018-01-28T14:35:45.814+00:00With the same bowlers you could also spin it that ...With the same bowlers you could also spin it that none of them have bowled for a full English season in the last couple of years!<br />Assuming that the promised overseas pace bowler arrives, then I am Ok with our approach to the first half of the season. However I am not sure about the second half of the season. My recollection is that it our overseas plan is for a spinner who can bat a bit. With no overseas pace bowler & injuries more likely in the second half of the season we could be stretched on the pace front. If this happens then it would be unfortunate if it derailed a promotion challenge.<br /><br />Mark B<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-88835665910485493482018-01-28T14:14:00.740+00:002018-01-28T14:14:00.740+00:00Nice to see a new name and thanks for getting invo...Nice to see a new name and thanks for getting involved, but for accuracy Rampaul is 33, Dino 35 and until last year Viljoen had been robust for several seasons. <br />Take your point on Davis, who has to prove he is not a modern era Alan Ward, but you can't make such a comment on Tony, whose dual role will see him as a horses for courses man.<br />I take your point on those released, but I think we must trust the judgement of those in charge. Maybe there were no winter signs of progress from them, but more from the young lads in the Academy. <br />We will see, but again, in agreement that our overseas has to deliver for us.Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-73677375325644202412018-01-28T10:39:05.080+00:002018-01-28T10:39:05.080+00:00Can’t believe what is happening with the bowlers. ...Can’t believe what is happening with the bowlers. We will be left with hardus with poor injury record, Rampaul 35 +, palladino 37 and Davis who can’t stay fit for more than 2 games at a time . Could be a heavy burden on Cotton. <br />Feel sorry for the lads as they have had no red ball coaching since Welch left . Palladino’s only aim is to keep himself in the team. I can’t help but think we are going in the wrong direction, the academy has produced some real potential, but we have cast them aside. Overseas signing needs to be very special Simply supersonicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-13655381915596219002018-01-27T21:56:28.461+00:002018-01-27T21:56:28.461+00:00Cotton to go next, watch this space.Cotton to go next, watch this space.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256807851834903460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-71513411730363744042018-01-27T09:57:33.632+00:002018-01-27T09:57:33.632+00:00Not surprised at all Peakfan.

It may well be timed with contractual 'end' dates, or perhaps a sign of moving goalposts.<br /><br />If we are close to sealing the player we wanted, or the type of player, then Tom would understand that an extra year was going to do his career no good if it was to be in 2nd team cricket. <br /><br /> I can only assume that they are sufficiently impressed with the next line of seamers coming through that they are prepared to clear a pathway through for them. They need to play a better level than academy cricket but wouldnt get second team games with Milnes and Taylor sharing a new ball.Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-82383046996121194142018-01-27T01:58:23.365+00:002018-01-27T01:58:23.365+00:00Good luck to the lad but for me I was expecting th...Good luck to the lad but for me I was expecting this news at the end of last season. If I remember rightly we announced he was staying for another season so makes me question the decision making process. Mark Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195212583411179197noreply@blogger.com
