Even Ponting looked so out of form he couldn't buy a run... although he's so ruddy minded, he still managed to average above 100!

Kent don't have money to sign an overseas but can sign all of their old boys and Rob Key's mates

Glos have got Peter Handscombe for t20 also, the young lad who smashed a ton in the BBL for KP's franchise

I bet Kent pay loads for all their management, analysts etc etc

[moggy]

Sussex have also got Mahela Jayawardene for the first 7 Blast matches

[Kieron_BT]

Yorkshire bringing in Pujara in replacement for Younis Kahn, in my opinion an even better signing!

There are some pretty Decent overseas around in County Cricket this year!

Gayle
McCullum
Sangakarra
Jayawardene
Pujara
Williamson
Finch
Maxwell
Dilshan
Ryder
Philander
Hilfenhaus
Tait
Sammy
Brendan Taylor (Kolpak, i know)

And those are just the ones off the top of my head, bound to be plenty more quality players that i can't think of.

ignoring T20 and OD stuff, how many are going to play at least half a LVCC season though?? (this is the one that makes decent players after all)

[ianbuchanan]

Somerset's 4 overseas players covering this season- Chris Gayle, Corey Anderson, Sohail Tanvir and Abdur Rehman.. Not bad!

[Sam]

Was suprised to see Fidel Edwards sign as a kolpak for Hampshire for the second half of the season. Didn't realise he was even still playing. Does anyone know if he's still up at a good pace like he used to be?

Bloody Voges getting picked for Aus has messed up Middlesex's planning. They'll need to get a decent signing to replace him, they are murmuring that they have a high-class replacement, but I've no idea who?

My word, you'll find a way to make anything a Negative won't you?

Why not accept that there's a lot of good overseas coming over (for whatever format) and that is a GOOD thing.

I asked who is coming over for the LVCC season as that's more relevant to the test team than someone playing in the T20. Hardly a crime and someone here for a few T20 games isn't exactly going to really push on the development of things if we are honest.

But isn't the fact that we prioritise the CC over the OD & T20 competitions the reason we suck the big one at International Level One day stuff?

Treating them more evenly is the only way we're going to improve, and that includes fans perception of the formats.

I'd take losing T20 and ODI world cups but be Test no:1 anytime.
