Thought Harmer went very early. Surprised Ackermann and Critchley didn't get picked up. Rimmington getting picked up was lol worthy to me. Malan seemed to go very late.
Hussain and others kept on going on about teams needing wks from mid draft which was stupid imo. Lots of reasonable options on offer for English keepers so could leave those options to later rounds as a lot of teams did.
Some fast bowlers didn't go. Suppose when you can only pick 15 names it's not a surprise teams weren't gambling on the fitness of like Stone or J Overton or Matt Fisher.
There are also guys like TRJ, Steven Finn not getting picked up for whom it must be a blow.

Guess it says something about Leicestershire that not one of there players was selected.

Got to feel sorry for the Sussex members. On the other hand where you have teams with only a handful of players picked it’s not going to be great for (county) team camaraderie.
Amusing that you had foreign coaches drawing on advice from England “star” players for advice on who to pick. Not exactly a group who are likely to have great expertise about the English T20 circuit

Worth the risk with his injuries and general lethargy ?
Can he still get added or has he missed the boat ? Thought he was ruled out now, but I don't have a particularly good grasp of this competitions rules!

Can’t they sign a £30,000 wild card after the T20 Blast finishes and just before the Hundred starts ? Not sure Gayle will turn up for £30,000, even if the rules allowed it.

Michael Neser in for Surrey for the first half of the season. Good signing that, he'll enjoy himself on early season English decks quite a lot I reckon

Malan joins Yorkshire.

https://www.middlesexccc.com/news/2019/11/malan-released-from-contract-to-join-yorkshire
Plenty of disquiet in both Yorkshire and Middlesex in recent times. Fans at Yorkshire seem to want rid of Gale, and possibly Moxon. Middlesex struggling in div 2 and losing players they want to keep.
Other news in recent times (nearly all Surrey) -
Topey signs on for two years at Surrey. White ball contract although he can play red ball games. https://www.kiaoval.com/main-news/topley-agrees-two-year-surrey-deal/
Amla also confirmed on a two year deal at Surrey under a kolpak contract. https://www.kiaoval.com/main-news/amla-joins-surrey-on-two-year-deal/
Surrey have also picked up a couple of well regarded youngsters from other counties. Nick Kimber (notts) and James Taylor (derbyshire)
Surrey also picked up Shadab and D'arcy Short for the blast. Durham had tried to keep Short but Surrey offered the better package. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/50167487
Saffer Michael Cohen joins Derbyshire on a two year deal. Derbyshire sign fast bowler Cohen

the downward spiral middlesex find themselves in since the 2016 championship winning season is astonishing.
malan is the only bloke at the club who scores an acceptable level of runs.
how on earth gus fraser has held onto his job eludes me.

Qais Ahmad signs on for Gloucestershire for T20 and 6 county games. https://www.gloscricket.co.uk/news/gloucestershire-sign-afghanistan-international-qais-ahmad/
Sean Abbott signs for Derbyshire for the first half of the t20s. Derbyshire sign Abbott
Paul Coughlin heads back to Durham from Notts https://www.trentbridge.co.uk/news/2019/november/coughlin-rejoins-durham.html
Shame about Coughlin these past couple of years. Might have been pushing for international honours in white ball cricket were it not for the bad injuries he's had.
Oah and yesterday Nathan Lyon signed on for Hampshire for the championship season. https://www.ageasbowl.com/cricket/news/hampshire-secure-nathan-lyon-signing-for-2020/

He was backing playing for Durham this year. He struggled though. He did play 13 champ games (averaging 27) though so it would suggest that Durham at least feel he is trying to put things right. I think he got a 2 year contract extension at the end of the season.
