State Vice-Captain
During a stormy dressing room meeting Jimmy Maher was told by the Qld manager that his services were no longer required. Maher was not happy as he hoped to stay with Qld until retirement. The offer from Somerset was too good to knock back. Maher was last heard leaving the Gabba in his purple Valiant with tyres squealing.
Maher has been good for Qld. Maybe a little patchy but good overall. This leaves James Hopes as the last original in the Qld squad at this stage.
Qld welcomes batsman Marsden from WA via Somerset and fast bowler Lawson. The other player to leave Qld in the deal is J Beasley who never really fit in his two seasons with Qld.
Earlier in the day J Bradshaw made way for Z Keegan in a deal that will bolster the batting line up. I never thought I'd let Bradshaw go but the addition of Keegan is great for Qld.
There are a few more trades to be considered in the near future.

Colts Issue 'Hands off' warning
Colts manager Age Master today issued a 'Hands Off' warning to somerset in regards to their pestering for a trade involving Talanted recruit Darden.
"Hes got no chance, there is no way he can make me a good offer for Darden. i simply cant retain the players in the draft. today he tried a new ploy... He drew racist pictures over MSN to annoy me, and said he would keep doing it till i traded Darden to him. he was promptly blocked. It would be advised that he stays away from now on, i have 4 hitmen waiting at our HQ should he keep annoying me, i have also requisitioned a number of security forces to protect dardens person from danger, i have no idea how far he will go. i just hope he learns and shuts up soon"

Guyana have negotiated their first trade for Season Six with Glamorgan. Guyana traded star four day bowler and one day batsman Younis Cole and one day spinner Umar Swanton for Glamorgan pair Z McDonald and Y Engineer.
Guyana manager Kyle Wright said that while he was sad to see such a fine player of Cole's ability go, the temptation to improve the wicket keeping facet of the team and to have a bowler able to make both the one day and four day sides was too good to not persue.
"I am a great fan of Younis' work and he has been our best player for the last two seasons, and I had hoped he would be with us for a very long time.
"But I am the manager of the side and it is my responsibility to improve the side and make it more competitive and ultimately the best side in the competition, and this trade definately improves our side. McDonald has been in great touch this season with Glamorgan and Engineer is bowling extremely well in the four day game, and we feel we can offer his a spot to play in our on day side aswell." Mr. Wright said.
Mr. Wright also explained his disapointment at not being able to get in contact with a manger of Northerns' to negotiate some trades.
"Yeah, it has been frustrating for sure, we have a number of players to offer Northerns and we are only after one of their players, so we think it will benefit both sides, but what can you do when you can't get in contact with someone who can deal with this sought of thing?
"My main fear is that when a manager does become available, we may lose out to someone who gets in before us, it is not the ideal situation, but I'm sure things will work out for the best." Mr. Wright said.

seeing as the World Club Cricket Herald's dissappeared I'll make my views public here..
Slats4ever launches scathing attack on One Day Cricket.
Traditionalists have long held the view that cricket is a 4 day game, one that tests out all skills over a prolonged period of time. The argument has long been swept under the rug by WCC administrators but Province manager Slats4ever is keen to bring it to light.
"I find it appalling that equal emphasis is placed on OD cricket in this system as their is on 4 day cricket. Personally I think the OD competition should be abolished as it is all in place for money and commercial quality". He argues that rival cricketer administrators the ICC have had to now lower themeselves to a newer concept of cricket called 20-20 and that he hopes this never happens to WCC. "It's certainly heading that way, some managers now place more importance on OD cricket and keeping commercial interests happy rather than playing good cricket". He see's the administrators of WCC's attitudes on this issue a key one in them overtaking the ICC as the most important "there's only one style of rugby played throughout, cricket's a 5 day game, let the ICC suffer with the consequences of poor commercial biased attitudes, not WCC"
It's about time in Slats's eyes that the WCC board did something about this, in Slats's perfect world the OD competition would involve each team meeting eachother only once. "What are we here for? to make lotsa money or to play good hard cricket, I'm sure Bradman would roll over in his grave if he found the game in today's state".
