Or, and this again is going back to the future, Andy (now AJ) Harris is being loaned out a lot these days -might be worth a punt for a year, see if he has an Indian summer.<BR/><BR/>Matt, LittleoverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-53719620480009401182008-09-15T21:20:00.000+01:002008-09-15T21:20:00.000+01:00Personally, I would let White, Hunter and Sadler g...Personally, I would let White, Hunter and Sadler go. I realise Morris has indicated the latter will most likely stay, but I really have my doubts about him. I recently checked out his 1st class record. Three tons in sixty games does not look too clever to me.<BR/><BR/>As far additions go, Lawson has had a couple of poor years. Although a wrist spinner potentially carries a greater slow bowling threat, I am not so sure here. Control is always the issue.<BR/>The same doubt applies to Marshall, formerly of Lancashire. Perhaps a tad more controlled, but less of a tweaker. Brown, on the other hand, was good in both long and short forms of the game at his peak, although I have not seen him recently.<BR/><BR/>I would certainly run with Klusener and/or Blackwell. Corky - not sure if the return -v- expense looks that enticing.<BR/><BR/>Ally Brown hauled up from the smoke for a year might be interesting. Mind you, Surrey is not a good omen.<BR/><BR/>On the younger side, perhaps Oliver Newby or Tom Smith from Lancs, if either could be prized away. They have both been out on loan - any chance Lancs might loosen their grip? Nick Compton is looking for a new team I understand..... Guess more casualties and leavers will come out in the wash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
