County Cricket 2015
« on: March 11, 2015, 07:38:47 PM »
Thought I'd just quickly make a thread for us to discuss the upcoming county season :).

Appears as though Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor is retiring from international cricket at the age of 29 in order to pursue a career at Notts who will presumably be missing Hales and Taylor with regularity with season while Lumbs out injured for the start of the season and Hampshire have resigned Owais Shah for the T20 blast.

Yorkshire look very strong on paper and with Finch, Maxwell and Williamson they have some exciting overseas talent.

It will come down how many England take for their 1s and Lions games.

No lions tours this summer I think so none should go from there. Wonder if Maxwell will be the big show or no show again  :D.

Well, that's potentially good then. Just see what the England squad is then.

I think his recent performances show he has matured a bit and improved. Whether that is a long term thing or a flash in the pan, we will wait and see.

Compton to Middlesex and Shahzad to Sussex are the only players with international caps moving as far as I can think of.

Yorkshire to win the County Championship and the T20
I have no idea who will win the 50 over stuff, such a hit and miss competition in my view...

How the bookies view it if anyones interested :








Notts appear to be the team consistently up the top along with Yorkshire however will be interesting to see how they go if Taylor and Hales disappear regularly and the fact that Lumb's out for the start.

is sangakkara playing for slurry all season? 

If so, I'd back surry with a £5. He'll be top scorer by a mile.. Oh, and if KP comes back.. that county will do well

there seems to be a few good overseas signings for the natwest blast this year, hopefully it'll make it exciting.

Somehow Surreys overseas players always seem to underperform.

Yorkishire look ominously good, again.
