Usman Khawaja
« on: January 19, 2011, 05:56:27 PM »
According to a certain Derbyshire player I know Usman Khawaja has signed as there overseas player for next season, top signing I reckon, I remember watching him play there last season for Australia.

You heard it hear first

I assume it's all signed and sealed If not I will remove the thread

Tip top signing, if it's all gone through I reckon. Good for him too, Hussey learnt his trade here, so..bodes well I guess. :) And good for Derbyshire, as well (ofc).

Being a Derbyshire fan myself I think it's fantastic if it's definate! He is an awesome player for the future, would love to see Callum Ferguson in English cricket

yeah, that was announced the other day.

not heard much of him but his stats are pretty good, good addition to a poor worcs attack anyway.

good player

But I really think the county should be penalised for helping an up and coming Aussie player!!!

Espo, who do you know at Derbys?

I think we're sponsoring 2 or 3 of their players next season. So will ask around.

he used to pro up in scotland for grange, had some serious gas back then but that was a good 7-8 seasons ago, not the worst bat either.

He pro'd for a team in my league a couple of seasons ago and broke the batting records. Was a class player, and easily the best batsmen I have ever played against.

In fact there are a couple of players who used to play in my league now playing for Derbyshire. Chesney Hughes used to play for Fleetwood as an amateur and Wayne Madsen used to pro for us.

Derbyshire, really are moving away from the team that finished bottom of the league every season.
