Cp Ryan Davies is only 19 and looks a very promising keeper. The Surrey Davies has hardly kept for two years and would be a very expensive signing if he has turned down a 2 year offer to stay. I think Somerset should back their youth on this occasion.

A new look Essex from next season as Kevin Masters will join Graham Napier in retiring at the end of the season.

David Masters even! On a serious note Essex will need to recruit an overseas and domestic seamer.

Derbyshire only have themselves to blame for dithering for far too long before offering him a contract. He should have been offered a contract once he had taken seven wickets in the match against Leicestershire. They since compounded this by offering Critchley, who had a year two run on his existing contract and who is absolute rubbish (8 first class wickets @ 125), a new four year contract. www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/776695.html

Gary Wilson to Derbyshire. Bit of a surprise thought one of the 'bigger' clubs might have been in for him. Surrey's wicketkeeper stocks getting a bit low with Davies gone as well!

Pope seems to be the next in line to Foakes. Agree, thought Wilson would have ended up better than the worst county but I suppose his international commitments count against him. Still he was Surrey captain a couple of years ago.

Still no white smoke from the Canterbury bunker to say Stevens has signed a new contract with Kent, so it would appear that he's still mulling over Sussex's offer?
The rumour mill is that Kent have offered a one year deal to play in all formats; Sussex have offered a two year deal for white ball cricket only; Leics have offered a longer contract that somewhere down the track involves a switch from playing to coaching; and the player has also had talks (particulars unspecified) with Northants.
The word is that he wants to "kiss some silverware" before he retires, something that has eluded him in all but two seasons in his 20 year career, with only T20 medals with Leics in 2004 and Kent in 2007 to show for two decades of sterling endeavour. If he could win something in 2017 at the age of 41, it would be his first taste of silverware in ten seasons.
To be honest, I doubt Sussex are the best vehicle for that ambition, and the odds must be against him signing on at Hove - unless (a) he's the only person in the world who falls for Toumasi's vainglorious boast today that he retires with "trophies not too far away". Or (b) he's tired of Kent flogging him into the ground as a four day stock bowler and would enjoy focussing his energies purely on the white ball comps.
He also fancies a last hurrah in the inaugural eight team EPL in 2018, which might also persuade him that Sussex's white-ball-only contract is the way to go? Good luck to him, wherever he decides to finish his illustrious career. He would clearly be a 'sticking plaster' signing. But would others welcome him moving to Hove?

He'd certainly be a decent asset in white ball cricket, but I'd like to see us bring in an all rounder who could balance the side in all formats. Another worry would be, that we might be accumulating too many players who only played in one format
