Problem was, prior to being hit with Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome in 2010, he did have it. Played for the Lions against Australia before his illness.

Yorkshire stood by him, got him back to health but his form since then has been pretty poor at first team level.

There's maybe a space for him as old head and captain in the seconds or Academy, but his first team days have to be numbered.

hrrrrmpphh

Some interesting declarations and forfeitures going on around the country. Good to see people making a game of it.

Surrey's gamble with Warwickshire is really interesting, even if it is understandable.

Has Boycott dismissed Yorkshire's season as a disappointment and demanded the entire playing squad be sacked yet?

Lancs sign Jos Buttler,good for the one day comps but can the regular Lancs watchers on here give a view on if he's better than what we had this season.

I'd say so, yes. I'm worried that he's likely to end up playing more for England, though. On a brief aside, Davies is a good 'keeper and knows which way up to hold a bat. Given a few regular chances and learning of the experience of Buttler then he can become a very, very good player.
