Look 👀!!!!

Curveball for Middlesex, who've been hoping to sign Victoria seamer Sam Elliott for the first batch of Champo rounds. He went down with a hamstring injury in the Sheffield Shield final and had to be replaced by Lancs-bound Mitchell Perry. thecricketer.com/Topics/county-…

@SaintsDanSFC It should be open at present. Gates will be locked on Friday 🏏🏆🔐 fantasy.thecricketdraft.com/leagues/join/e…

@draftinsight Is this still open to join or locked? 🔐

@gowellender Yes. Today’s pre-season encounters may provide a clue. They won’t all play but there’s up to ten players in the £4-£4.5m bracket who are in with a real shout of playing CC GW1 🏏🏆!

Could we be in for some surprise selections when final XIs are announced on Friday morning? 👀 🏏 Potential England players available 🏏 Overseas arriving last minute 🏏 Young Stars given opportunity 🏏 New signings given debuts 🏏 Returns from long-term injuries

@thecricketdraft Fascinating. If Barnard’s at The Hundred, maybe Stokes will fill the void for many DOCs come the One Day Cup… though a lot can happen between now and then ⚪️🏆🤷🏼‍♂️!

It’s all happening this morning!

There’s been of speculation re: Sam Elliott potentially signing for Middlesex but he’s been subbed out, replaced by Lancashire recruit Mitch Perry in the ongoing Sheffield Shield final. I don’t know the extent of the injury but it’s a potential spanner in the works 🏏🇦🇺🤷🏼‍♂️!

Not content with taking four wickets (So far) for not many runs in the ongoing Sheffield Shield final, Fergus O’Neill’s 64* is the highest score of the match to date. When he does arrive in England, he’ll be straight into a lot of teams 🏏🏹📱📈!

Yorkshire are expecting captain Jonny Bairstow to remain with the county and ignore any offer from the IPL. thecricketer.com/Topics/county-…

Ben Cliff 13-2-56-3 Walter, Westley & Benkenstein Jay Singh 11-3-39-4 Allison, Pepper, Thain & Elgar It’s difficult to see how either of these young Yorkshire bowlers play in CC GW1 but as the season progresses, opportunities could come across the different formats 🔴⚪️!

@gowellender Don’t you dare make me regret not picking Thompson… before we’ve even started! 21 of Kimber’s came in one innings!

@josheyb03 @gowellender @CountyChamp He’s looked skittish at times and England have prob moved on to more ‘exciting’ options. He’s done okay in recent seasons but having set such a high standard early on, it just feels like a drop off 🏏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿!
