How about asking KP ?

 

[Luke93]

We are a batsmen light. We haven't really replaced Goodwin yet, especially for county Championship games. Last year we relied a lot on Joyce and Wells, with Yardy supported well down the order. One day side looks great though

Free spending Surrey are confident, apparently.

Hypothetically, would you want him? I certainly would, but can't see us having the financial clout and not convinced he would be at ease with our facilities.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

If that egotistical wanker was ever employed by Sussex, I would rip up my membership card in front of the pavillion.

He has burnt most of his boats and in England, Surrey is his only option left who have the cash and are close enough to London for him. Given that situation, I think Surrey can be quite confident of getting him.

Looking forward to a day in the boundary rooms day 1 lvcc v midx Sunday 6 April, it will probably be snowing!

...was caught behind off Stevens and in the next over Van Jaarsveld, anxious to atone, ran out Lou Vincent.

40 days? Jesus this winter has flown by!

Jordan potentially not being around is a worry! Could be another tricky season ahead perhaps, have bad vibes.

don't even joke, last seasons friendly v Hants (Late March) the fielders were wearing wolly hats, never seen the like. It was perishing.

 

[e77]

Got my T20 tickets this week and my membership card arrived yesterday.

Summer starts here.

 

[Trigger]

Definitely light on the batting, it wasn't great last year and we haven't improved it at all.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Still need a batting coach.

KP, with something to prove. Yes please.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

At least we'll have Matt Prior available for most of the season. He really needs to get a few good scores early on.

 

[The Oldman]

Can't wait. Lying back on a deckchair, pint of Harveys, Gala Pie, Sausage rolls, a little nap and some cricket. It's great being an oldie.

Or, retreating hastily to the bar and reading the Daily Telegraph as it pisses it down for the fortieth consecutive day.
