Surrey CCC Sign West Indian Paceman...

[Trigger]

Surrey have signed West Indies fast bowler Franklyn Rose as a replacement for Saqlain Mushtaq for the rest of the season.

Mushtaq has joined up with the Pakistan squad ahead of the third Test against Bangladesh.

The 31-year-old Rose has played 27 one day internationals and 19 Tests for the West Indies.

First-team manager Keith Medlycott said: "Signing Franklyn on a short-term contract was very important to the club.

"He will bring some invaluable experience and quality to our bowling attack for our crucial remaining matches.

"We are delighted that we have been able to get Franklyn registered in time for our match against Kent.

"He will be a major boost in our bid to win both the Frizzell County Championship and National Cricket League."

They tried to get Brett Lee but he wouldnt go near any county that had Palace in it! F Rose is no Saqlain...once more the Holy Grail moves closer to the oldest county of them all.

Excellent news for Sussex aswell, apparently Robert Key had to go hospital for an x-ray on a finger or a thumb, if broken or badly damaged Kent will have to get a better batsman in for the championship game against Surrey, which is nice.

Excellent news Trigger (for Kent, Sussex and England).

This smacks of panic measures by Surrey. Settled sides (like Sussex's) perform better). I think that Surrey will do well to beat Kent but we shouldn't take Middlesex for granted, I think they've only lost one match all season - tough team to beat.

Franklyn Rose is a has -been, some would say, a never was.
