I read a line some place, that Akram may probably walk in as the Captain of the side too (Hampshire). Not sure, if its true or not. Good thing Hampshire folks don’t read reports from Justice Qayyum. :k: :slight_smile:

I don't think anyone give a hoot about county cricket.

I can't wait for Twenty20 competition!! That will be amazing to watch.

Btw.. Go Surrey! Hollioke all the way, that's why he should be the English captain too.

Out of all those overseas player, I can guarentee you Afridi will out perform others but too bad he isn't the same in international cricket.

As I see it, there is no reason for senior players like Wasim, Saqi to be playing county cricket, only maybe to make some money on the side or stay in good form. But its a great chance for youngsters to gain some experience by playing quality cricket.
