Is he not actually slow left arm orthodox , rather than a leggie ?

apologies

I've re-read it.... they said best spinner in the division, rather than my piece of old nonsense about them saying the best leggie in county cricket

or maybe it was edited?

more likely to be me at fault

ECB have confirmed that subs will be trialled this year for injury, illness and significant life events. It might include England matches as well as county matches, I haven't worked that out yet

There will be no limit to the number of substitutions a team can make and no cut off point beyond which subs cannot be made. Nor will there be an opportunity for the opposition side to substitute somebody in response, which was part of Cricket Australia's trial

I haven't seen anything to suggest that it would have to be a like for like substitution

To try and prevent gaming the system, any player being replaced will be made automatically unavailable for selection for a period of 8 days for all competitions except the Centiball, so expect a raft of tactical injury subs in the last round of CC matches in July
