We keep saying we can't see us getting 20 wickets in a game and with no Rana, possible departures of Hoggy and Shahzad and Kruis also probably on his way out at the end of the summer it looks obvious to me where we need to recruit.
Looking at the second team i think the young batters could step up a level (Ballance, Root etc) but the young bowlers (non-spinners) have yet to convince me.
Where would van-J bat?
Sayers
Rudolph
Mags
Gale
Lyth
Bairstow
Rashid
Bresnan
...
Is it a cover for if Rudolph goes back to the Saffers?
Van Jaarsveld's move to Lancashire was agreed in principle at the end of last season.
I see no reason for that arrangement to change,and fully excpect that move will be confirmed at the season's end.
Kent will not offer a fresh contract.
He's keen to join Lancs. and they are happy to have him.
There's only a problem if someone complains TC,and in the big wide world,deals are done like this all the time.
No problem,except perhaps to Yorkshire,who are far too late with their interest yet again.
