County Championship discussion thread 2015

There will be loads of Aussies who have not made the Ashes squad who will be looking to play county cricket this summer. Cummings, Pattinson, Faulkner would be very decen.t

Australia have an A tour to India coming up apparently. This is in July, so they might be free in August.

Australia A four-day squad Usman Khawaja (c), Matthew Wade (vc), Ashton Agar, Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Patrick Cummins, Andrew Fekete, Peter Handscomb, Travis Head, Nic Maddinson, Glenn Maxwell, Stephen O'Keefe, Gurinder Sandhu, Marcus Stoinis.

Australia A one-day squad Usman Khawaja (c), Matthew Wade (vc), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Cameron Boyce, Joe Burns, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Patrick Cummins, Callum Ferguson, Peter Handscomb, Travis Head, Chris Lynn, Gurinder Sandhu, Adam Zampa

Faulkner not in either squad, must be lined up to play county cricket so he is on stand by for any injuries to the Aussie bowlers/all rounders.

Cummings and Faulkner are at the IPL and Pattinson currently has a hamstring injury. Half the CC fixtures have been played by the time the IPL is complete and they also miss end of season games if involved in the finals.Durham signing of Hastings gets shrewder by the day.

Giles has said we're already looking for a replacement, good to see us being proactive for once.

Yorkshire Sign Pujara for the first 2 months.

[andy]

good signing to replace Younus

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sounds a good signing, but he didn't have a great time at Derbys. Good luck Chet.

did still average 57 with the bat.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Did he! Maybe he got a big not out ton towards the end?

Yeah he did lol.
Although by all account he batted well in a low scoring game.

[Alviro Patterson]

Very pleased how Yorkshire acted swiftly on finding an overseas replacement and one who really wants to play red ball cricket.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I suppose that means YK won't be going to Yorkshire at all.

Yes, he wants to tour Bangladesh.

Ian Bell has signed a further 3 year contract with his beloved Bears. Hardly surprising but still a sensible thing to do on his part. He'll probably spend the rest of his working life with them in some capacity or other.
