Damien Wright's a decent bowler - exactly what you want in a stopgap overseas signing.
Not that I have the slightest time for such signings, they're an unbelievable waste of money. No-one should be allowed more than a single overseas-player per season IMO. If someone picks-up an injury, tough.
Anyway I hope Aga actually plays this season, pointless for them to have even signed him otherwise.

Good to see the Jesse Ryder of English cricket in the runs again.
NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
Wright had a very good shield campaign with the ball and his batting is useful too. It wouldn't surprise me to see him hit a ton, I reckon he can do a role similar to Andy Bichel did when he played County Cricket.

Seems like a tight affair at Hove. Sussex 132/3 in the 58th. Jimmy 2/32, Chapple with the other, all the seamers keeping it really tight. Another couple of quick wickets and we'll be on top.

Good to see Essex doing well. It would be good if they could get promoted and see how they go in Div 1 next year. Such a great little club.

Jimmy 21-7-35-3, decent start to the season

He turned down an IPL deal to stay with Surrey as well. Surrey's argument was looking towards the future but just one look at that and you would take back Ali in a heartbeat.

Found that baffling myself. It'd have been fair enough if he'd done nothing last season, but he'd been decent enough when picked. Totally inexplicable the way they pensioned him off.
Mind, at 39 anyone is always going to be a huge risk and it'd not surprise me at all to see Brown have a horror year this term. Ali Brown being Ali Brown, though, you can never really predict with much confidence.
Hampshire face a trip to Edgbaston tomorow, despite defeat on Sunday I am pretty confident for the rest of the season, think we will avoid the drop and could put up a title challenge (especially if Tahir has the impact he did last season) although as always think the batting will not quite be good enough.
Good to see North coming in, was a bit suprised they have dropped Lumb as despite a pair in the first match played well on Sunday. I Would have been tempted to drop Balcombe and play an extra batsman, would have meant we batted right down to 8 with Cork at 9 but I understand why the didn't go for that. Have Ian Bell to contend with of course but hopefuly our bowlers will give him a little bit of a sterner test than he got last week.
