I doubt they put quite as much effort in.

He was run out, so I guess that's his one saving grace. A soiled looking 3 off 15 balls isn't too impressive though!

Amazing to see that these sort of players don't have better records at this level!

Got to remember the lad is only 22, so when he was 17 he scored a double hundred in one of the best club leagues in the country

Jamie plays northern league

Jamie used to play Northern League - not been re-signed for 2012 - replaced by Doolan, the Aussie, who I believe is on the brink of the national team

He was at Leyland yes - they terminated his contract under mutual agreement, as it sounds as though Leyland are strapped for cash.

It seems the trend in the Northern League this year is to sign local lads as the 'pro' -  sounds like they're all skint

I would think 2012's weather has hurt both big and small clubs alike. I'd go as far as to say if 2013 is as bad or even half as bad the game will lose a lot of clubs and so players (as 99%) of players have no interest in going to a club and being rotated or not getting regular games.

The days of 5 figure pro coming over have seemed to have disappeared althought there a rise of Asian professionals steadily and the fall of Aussie and Saffas Iam finding.

The rise of the Indian touring academy's has helped a whole generation of cheap professionals into the uk with many on less than 150 a week.

Had some big pros in the Lancs League of late. Faf Du Plessis played with Ramsbottom a few years back whom is now scoring many runs, now my club have signed Brett Pelsar who will be a great addition. In the 90's we had Shane Warne at Accrington when he was 19!!!! Chris Cairns at Bacup also!!

Your forgetting Alan Donald at Rishton also viv Richards also at same club Steve Waugh at Nelson and so many more roger harper at bacup and bevan at rawtenstall

Shame the standard of pro across the board has gone down yet they ask for more money
Not just lancs league Bolton league across all leagues in the area

Justin Langer, Adam Gilchrist, Azhar Ali, Daniel Flynn, Yasir Arafat have all played in Scottish Club Cricket.

Shane Harwood supposedly was unplayable when he played for St Anne's  in the Northern Premier league. Took 100 wickets in 22 games @ 7's in 2005!!
