    According to The Cricketer, Dawson will be getting a central contract (and there's the possibility that Baker will get one too). I'm not sure how much this will affect their availability for us going forward but wouldn't it also mean that we have more money to play with, still keeping within the salary cap? Good news if so, bring out the chequebook quickly please for some new batters.

    Baker is almost certainly getting one. Presumably Dawson will be playing ODI and T20 international cricket regularly now which gives us a headache.

    "The Cricketer understands that both the seamer (John Turner) and left-arm spinner Andrew Neal are likely to sign multi-year deals with the club."

    Good news, as long as Turner can press the reset button and go back to the basics that made him successful when he first broke into the 1st team squad.

    Very pleased for Neal. Hope he gets an opportunity in the CC, particularly when Daws is unavailable.

    Well clearly Heather Knight has done something to please the cricketing gods because she's getting more lives than a cat.

    The ECB have scrapped the use of the Kookaburra ball in the CC. <diva>

    The games would be fun, and the players would be (Southern) Brave
