just noticed a change to my signature, which I didn't put on.

2012?

Some mod deleted your signature because i think you won some other County FL as well

The Footman won the 2012 FLt20 Fantasy League, he almost forced me to do the final scores as he was going away for the week whilst I was still recovering from that epic trip to Cardiff.

I remember that. I think I was going away on holiday, at the time, and I just had to know. Maiden century, and all that. I've now made 2 centuries (11 a side) without ever having recorded a half century (5 + 2)

I have made a duck, sadly, although my pride has forced me to forget which FL that was. Might have been the Champ T, but don't quote me on that

[Durhamfootman]

there... I've worked out how to do it now

hurrah!

Going on what I've heard/read sporadically, I thought EU law could be used as a loophole for that?

No, the ECBs definition centres on playing for another full member internationally.

Chris Wright is fit again

Barker, Wright, Woakes, Rankin, Clarke and Patel. Now that's an attack.

But think Pop Welch, the coach that attack loves, will be going to Derby

Nottinghamshire sign of former Lancashire veteran spinner Gary Keedy, whose primary role at the county will be as an assistant physiotherapist.

The 39-year-old is looking to further his career away from the playing side of the game, although he will be available to play should his services be required.

"We're pleased to have agreed a deal with Gary who has a wealth of experience and is uniquely qualified to serve us at this stage of his career," said Nottinghamshire's director of cricket Mick Newell.

Keedy's career has just sort of petered out....shame really very good spinner.

Most cricketers careers peter out when they join Surrey. I agree, he's still a quality bowler-will close one end up on flat tracks and take wickets on helpful tracks.

Yorkshire batsman Joe Sayers announces his retirement from 1st class cricket

Bit shocked with the announcement considering Joe has a year remaining on his contract, but hasn't been the same player since suffering from post viral fatigue syndrome.

Backed by a high-flying Indian politician closely associated with Indian cricket, a new seven-a-side corporate cricket league - to be called 7PL

7PL, it is learnt, has the blessings of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India ( BCCI). However, it will not be an ICC recognized tournament, sources said.

POWER OF 7

- 7 teams of 7 players each representing the 7 UAE Emirates
- 7 overs per innings
- Players from 7 countries to take part.

Graeme Welch has taken the top job at Derbyshire with Alan Richardson retiring with immediate effect, and taken the bowling coach job at Warks.

[Alviro Patterson]

Good appointment by Derbyshire given Welch's track record at Warwickshire, particularly with the rejuvenation of Chris Wright's county career.

Former Yorkshire pace/lower order hitter bowler, Graham Stevenson has died. He played a couple of Tests and a handful of ODIs, but was mainly a stalwart bowler for Yorkshire, in a useful attack with Old, Oldham, Sidebottom etc. A good record in Roses cricket.

Sad news, I remember him scoring a century at No 11 in a CC match. (against Warwickshire I think)
