Perhaps Vince had a clause in his contract which said that he would only play out his contract if Hants remained in Div 1 ?

Vince would have been the perfect player to bolster our middle order, and it's a crying shame that we aren't in a position to tempt him. Had we played at anywhere near our potential, we'd have had this division won by now

So too will ours, if Joyce and Wells leave. If we thought season was a train wreck, imagine what next season will be like without those two

Durham surely looking likely to get one of the two relegation slots in an eight team division?

So too will ours, if Joyce and Wells leave. If we thought season was a train wreck, imagine what next season will be like without those two Durham will need to sign two new batsman (one of them will probably be the overseas player). Jennings must already be regretting signing that contract. As for Sussex we must keep Wells especially if as expected Joyce retires. www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2016/content/story/1056473.htmlStoneman Burns Borthwick Sangakkara Roy Davies Foakes Ansari Batty S Curran T Curran Meaker Footitt 13 into 11 doesn't go! Who will miss out? The departure of Borthwick and Stoneman is a massive blow to Durham. I bet Keaton Jennings is regretting signing a new four year contract. Durham have a massive task finding two quality batsmen to replace Stoneman and Borthwick. The losses of Mustard, Muchall, Harrison, McLeod, Randhawa and Hart (rumoured to have signed a two year contract with Hampshire www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/asher-hart.1275176/ ) are less of a problem in my opinion. It does leave Durham with just 19 players by my reckoning: Batsmen (5) Collingwood (c) Jennings (one-day captain) Burnham Clark Stokes Keepers (2) Poynter Richardson Spinners (2) Hickey Pringle Seamers (10) Arshad Carse Coughlin J Coughlin P Main McCarthy Onions Rushworth Weighell Wood Total squad 19 players

Sangakkara has yet to commit to next season and Davies is out of contract and likely to join Somerset so I guess Surrey are covering their options. As for Durham, they haven't been able to afford an overseas player this year but the savings on Borthwick and Stoneman will generate some cash I suppose. However having watched them recently they look several players short. Onions and Rushworth cannot carry the attack for ever.

The signings of Borthwick and Stoneman throw some doubt on the futures of Davies and Sangakkara. As for Durham it leaves them with a massive hole to fill. Finding one quality batsman is hard enough, finding two is practically impossible. Therefore an overseas batsman seems likely. In Onions, Rushworth, Wood and Stokes Durham have a quality seam attack. They really need a couple out of Arshad, Carse, Coughlin J, Coughlin P, Main, McCarthy and Weighell to emerge from the shadows.

Davies turns down the offer of a two year contract from Surrey to sign a three year contract with Somerset?

Somerset already have a perfectly good wicketkeeper, ironically called Davies!
