Billy Godleman has also swapped clubs, having been released from Essex he has signed for the newly promoted Derbyshire. Can't believe he's still only 23 years old, seems to have been around much longer.

Gary Keedy has signed for Surrey, good signing for them

Adams is a gerontophile, IMHO. Gets a proper cob on for the oldies. Brought in the 36 year old Jon Lewis last close season and has snapped up Solanki and now Keedy this time around, both of whom are also closer to 50 than 20.

The big irony is that Adams is probably one of the youngest CEO's :laugh:

At least with Ramps quitting he won't be younger than some of the players :p

Slightly perverse that Keedy is moving up to a Division One team to get more games.

Anyway Slurry and Notts becoming the Chelsea and Man City of cricket.

Given that Kerrigan went backwards last season I do hope Lanky don't have cause to regret letting him go this time next year

Well you've got Parry as well, spin bowlers learn by bowling, often through the bad times. With the Summer we had last year opportunities were limited, Kerrigan wasn't the only spinner to go backwards. Best you show faith in talent, IMHO.

Rolling back the years with the OAP's aren't they Surrey? Must of been a time around 2004/200505 when they had Butcher,Thorpe, Ramps, Stewart, Bicknell and Salisbury in their playing X1.

Keedy leaving was always on the cards during this close season, and I guess it's a decent time to shuffle about the playing staff having dropped down to division two with Keedy following Mahmood and Tahir our of the door.

bellend bracewell killing me talking about looking for a replacement captain.

“Australia, for example, have a real void in leaders at the moment so there could be a good opportunity to talk to them about developing one."

Dude your meant to be developing Gloucestershire cricketers to play for England rather than improving Australians or New Zealanders which he seems to spend all his time doing. bellend

Disappointed Moores couldn't/wouldn't persuade him to join Lancashire - there's just no loyalty amongst old muckers any more

Yes you'd have thought something like the Goodwin of old, would have been an ideal acquisition, though he has been struggling of late. I'm sure he'd have added more to the club than just his skills on the pitch though.
