Yeah, but it's not too far different from Rankin who basically plays as Warks' 4th seamer half the time.

Wonder how many keepers we have up here.
Lancashire too but I don't know with them.

With him having an England contract (one day) you would think most sides can afford him too.

Yeah, you could see the Lankys really marketing him for one-dayers at OT too.
Really didn't want this, CK should have tried to just bat his way into the England team for Tests, and leave the gloves for Jos.
Grrrr.

Sussex had the same problem with Ambrose and Prior didn't they.

It happens quite a lot really, last time Adam Wheater. Only one position. Nixon left Kent because of a certain persons hero.

Much as I would love him at Lancs I can't see it. We never sign any big names that are actually good.
Wouldn't put it past him signing for Warwickshire actually,there's the Gilo connection and they seem to have struggled a bit for middle order batsmen this year so could play Ambrose as a batsmen

Yes was at cheltenham today. Good day for a Gloucestershire fan. There was a hattrick for Fuller in there as well. Basically a crazy half an hour of madness where the wicket looked to be doing everything and the other 6 hours flat.
Was slightly bittersweet the hattrick. Brought Moeen in as captain to one of my fantasy cricket teams and transferred Fuller out, both this week.
On the subject of decent young bowlers Craig Miles is a decent prospect. Only 18 but has 33 wickets @ 24 this season. Take a look at the ECB highlights of the Glos games this season. Tall but bowls at a decent pace, swings the ball and has taken wickets this season for Glos when others haven't been. Still erratic and a long way from being seriously mentioned but not a complete non hoper like someone of the people Glos and Worcs bring out.

Miles Hammond, the 17-year-old offie, is an Oxfordshire product. Can bat as well, but obviously there's a chasm between batting 3 in minor county age group cricket and the first class game. Couple of years too old to have been coached by me at any stage, though.

yes bowled ok today. decent flight. Ripped his first delivery past Andrew but after that they looked to get after him and he bowled a bit full. Doesn't really look ready for first class cricket at present but in time hoping for good things. Also dropped a fairly straightforward (by first class standards) catch on the mid wicket boundary. Will probably get some more bowling 2nd time around as the wicket was taking turn today.
