People moan about the treatment of our spinners, so quick question. Does anyone remember Max Waller?

Re: Other counties

Yes I do but quite a long time ago Silas.  Would I be right in thinking he had some connection with Surrey?

Couldn't call myself a stick insect but now going in the right direction!

Ump, maybe you are thinking of Chris Waller.

Re: Other counties

Not just us caught up in the OS player farce.

Re: Other counties

Pathetic rules about o/s players.

Re: Other counties

10 days... how utterly, absurdly arbitrary

Re: Other counties

Silas - They have two young leg spinners in Max Waller and Michael Munday and I suspect one of them probably Munday will be released at the end of the season.

Re: Other counties

Breaking News.................

Surrey have offered Raoul Moat £150,000 per season contract.

Chris Adams, director of cricket said, "Everyone else is after him, so he must be good, we want him to captain the club next season, taking over from RHB"

Who is that man talking to Schlidd ?

Re: Other counties

I think Chris Adams and RHB might well end up in Arundel Castle Moat on Sunday - as their T20 dream finally bites the dust along with CA and RHB!  lol  lol  lol

Looks like Moat was a true cricket fan. Rather kill himself than join Surrey.

Re: Other counties

Ok I am stumped !! Middx played 3 Os players yesterday . Warner and O'Brien plus Henderson . ECB shows all 3 as OS .  O'Brien has an english wife so may now be non OS !!
Henderson was a Kolpak for the last 2years . Is he now ?. How come he has a work permit
when he has not played Ints not been here 4 seasons so unless he has aUk wife according to the rules he shoud not get a work permit. 

I think Henderson must have an english wife  !

Any ideas Sharkey ?

Re: Other counties

I can answer myself . Playfair shows  he played at Kent 2006 and Middx 2008 and 2009
but he played for Middx in 2007 so he has had awork permit for the last 4 years and thus can continue as a Kolpak

Henderson is now  a British citizen. He qualifiud by residence I think

The Kookaburra Man

Re: Other counties

He has to have spent 9 months a year here for 5years to qualify by residence which he clearly has not done as he is spends winters in Sa and India. Only Claude Henderson has done the 'time' . I assume Tyron's wife has a uk passport.

just another example of the farce called Kolpak .

Re: Other counties

Ah. Im talking about the wrong Henderson.

The Kookaburra Man

Re: Other counties

Dickie Henderson

Who is that man talking to Schlidd ?

Re: Other counties

HC showing his age , yes I am older than you.

Kim,Did wonder whether you were thinking of Claude

Re: Other counties

O'Brien has been playing as a local player for Middlesex all season I think.  He gave up on NZ for a county contract because his wife is English

Re: Other counties

daveshark - it says here that Middx signed O'Brien as an overseas player for this season - maybe hoping to register as a local player in future :

Re: Other counties

Not a particularly interesting piece of news. I was more taken with what the reporters parents were thinking when they called him Paul.

Re: Other counties

Confirmation Morgan will be playing next week. Also an interesting story about Sidearse, two injury prone seasons at Surrey?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricke … ottom.html

Re: Other counties

"At 32, Sidebottom’s international career would appear to be on the wane. Though he has been part of England’s Test, one-day and Twenty20 squads this season, his last international appearance came in the World Twenty20 final in May."

He bowled well at the World Cup. Surely he will be very much in England's minds for the 20-20. He's only 32 and only has to bowl 4 overs.

Re: Other counties

Irish spinner George Dockerill signs for Somerset on a two year contract which would appear to spell the end for Michael Munday or Max Waller.
