In county terms and Australia I am thinking of players such as Greg Chappell and Andrew Symonds.
Hayden Kerr could be another.
He is that rarity, a genuine all rounder and his left-arm seam will offer useful variation to the Derbyshire attack. Meanwhile his powerful batting will be a big bonus, offering crucial depth and that precious boundary - clearing ability at the end of an innings.
He had a fantastic Big Bash this winter and only went for 7.5 runs an over while taking 25 wickets, while making a highest score of 98.
He seems to have a lot of varieties in his bowling and that different line will be an asset. So too a young man with a reputation to build, taking his place in a team doing the same.
He is with us until September too, for all formats. That will help him to hone his game, and will be a great asset to Mickey Arthur and his team mates.
I can't wait to see him in action.
Welcome to Derbyshire, Hayden!
A very exciting signing! Signing a quick who can also bat is a smart move by Mickey. This will give us more depth. I can't wait for Friday. By the way, Steve, for some reason when I try and publish with my downthewicket email, I only get the anonymous option.

DeleteA fantastic signing Peakfan. We spend sometime in Sydney and the Sixers are our Aussie team. Kerr was excellent this season so another a great season by the Mickey and the Executive Team. Clay Cross Mark
