I read other cricket blogs as well - is that allowed? I live and work in Derbyshire as well. Not all Notts fans wish Derbyshire ill will you might be surprised to hear............<br /><br />And I'm well aware that the weather enabled Notts to sneak 4 points - I referred to it! More important though was Northants losing 5 for the poor over-rate just four games from the end.<br /><br />Still think the poaching tag is old hat though.<br /><br />Do you want Footitt back btw.

But the team rebuilding needs money and I guess they feel it can be better used.

Been at the club less than 14 months in total. By my calculations he's averaged mid sixties in 2nd team red ball cricket in that time. 50 odd in fifty over cricket. Was 2nd eleven player of the year last year and by all accounts was good enough to be a probable to open up in our T20 blast campaign baring injury. Not done a lot wrong for my money and at least deserved another year. No player should be judged on a single season. Form comes and goes but ability remains and his stats suggest good enough to show a little more patience with a young local player who is still several years off reaching his best potential. Very short sighted in my opinion.

Easily.<br /><br />And got promoted despite being down to 12 fit players at the end.<br /><br />Was that down to poaching? I think not. <br /><br />Libby/Root/Patel/Hutton/Wood/Carter/Moores not poached. And Mullaney/Gurney/Wessels hardly red-hot prospects when they switched. That leaves Read and Broad which would fall into the ancient history category. <br /><br />Hutton told Notts he was going in May. That's why Coughlin comes in.<br />Sad for Durham but that's life these days.<br /><br />Didn't Derbyshire win three games this year? And nearly win a fourth? At least a flirtation with promotion must therefore be the minimum next season. Notts only won 7. In that case why is Hutton joining Northants and not Derbyshire? They are hardly a moneybags team.<br /><br />Such comments smack of petty jealousy am afraid.ABnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-82086120906397647472017-09-30T10:13:51.969+01:002017-09-30T10:13:51.969+01:00I hope he was blushing as he said it, Keith.

Mr Coughlin is only the most recent example.<br /><br />My immediate thoughts are therefore, “Aw, diddums!” and “Pot and kettle!”<br /><br />REV KEITH<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-84036688582420672562017-09-29T19:25:31.880+01:002017-09-29T19:25:31.880+01:00I would take Azzarullah especially for white ball....I would take Azzarullah especially for white ball.
