Too many people 'hear' things and relay them to get a story around and whoever told you may be doing the same. If the club have plans for him or anyone else we'll hear them soon enough...<br /><br />Coles? Yes please. Fine player but others will fancy him and his talents. Very good player but I'm unsure if we'd come out on top in a bidding war. We could though, as you say, offer good prospects of first team cricket and he'd be a good six or sevenPeakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-22464210776864527572013-08-22T20:54:47.076+01:002013-08-22T20:54:47.076+01:00The other 'reason' Madsen won't get a ...The other 'reason' Madsen won't get a Lions call up is that he plays for little old Derbyshire who've seemingly become more marginalised as the years have progressed.<br /><br />On a different note, I heard today that the club don't seem particularly keen offer Ben Slater much beyond the pittance of a summer contract he currently has.

Whilst there are problems in the batting, the club cannot bring players in if that type of player isn't available. <br /><br />However I read with interest that we have made a formal approach to Kent for Matt Coles, who KK probably knows from Div 2 but also from the trip to India last year as a coach.<br /><br />Could he be a ready-made replacement for Ross Whiteley?
