I just read this too, Yorkshire are gonna have even more of a presence in the England dressing room once the white ball stuff starts again!

Always a shame when smaller counties lose star names to larger more wealthy counties. I imagine he was a hero and inspired lots of youngsters at Northants, via his 20\20  and one day performances.

It is a shame but considering the financial difficulties Northants are allegedly having you can see why they've agreed to it, probably a good move for everyone involved really.

this is the reality now thou, clubs with more money will sign the best players, sometimes those that have come thru the youth system, like Willey and James Taylor.
The clubs left simply don't have the finances to hang onto players once they play for England.They are the same clubs without International fixtures.
I expect in the future County cricket will have a radical change as it's not financially viable for a large proportion of clubs, but what that change will be is anyone's guess.
I don't think myself it's impossible to see clubs merging to create a smaller Championship.

Yorkies are turning into the Man Utd of cricket, just buying the best players in!

Yeah but most players won't just leave a county after playing with them for years because another club pays them a little bit more, the problem is Northants are in a whole heap of trouble with financial issues so they are paying him very little . If he was with a club where their financial state was ok, he probably wouldn't have left.

Although from the article i read on Cricinfo regarding Northant's financial difficulties they were getting circa £100k a year each for Swann and Panesar as they produced them. Now they've both lost central contracts they no longer get the money and it leaves a big hole in their finances. Assuming Willey and others go on and play for England their producing clubs not just their contracted club get decent money so as long as counties can produce talent they still can do well out of it financially

maybe...but he may be thinking with the current set up with England he has a better chance of playing for England with the current County Champions rather than an 'unfashionable' club like Northants.
That may be how he is looking at it.

they're reducing the number of champ matches anyway. reducing the number of counties will follow.
