That would seem like the most likely option

Middlesex rumoured to be signing James Franklin on a Kolpak. Excellent signing if they can pull it off

Probably right, but a decent fourth seamer who can bat top six, and give them a bit of left arm variation

Middlesex recruiting widely, it seems : as anticipated it was confirmed today that Nick Compton has rejoined them from Somerset.
But they may have made a mistake in signing Adam Voges as captain for next season as a replacement for Chris Rogers, who was expected to be touring with Australia.
My guess is that Rogers is going to struggle to make the tour party. With Warner now established as the best opening bat in the world, Australia no longer need his experience and I'd expect Lehmann and the Aussie selectors to look to the emerging generation of players for Warner's partner - in which case there is a fabulous opportunity there for another county to sign up an opening bat who is nailed-on to deliver 2,000 + runs across the three competitions.
If Hamilton-Brown and Prior are missing next season, would Sussex be interested from mid-June after Magoffin passes the citizenship test and becomes "English" (assuming that ECB regulations permit such a change of status mid-season - I am assuming that Magoffin's citizenship applies immediately, although nobody has been able to confirm that it does when I asked that question before)...

I think the Aussies will stick with Rogers as they no longer have 26 year old with 26 first class hundreds who scored a hundred in both innings against South Africa as an alternative. His experience of English conditions will be vital if they want to retain the urn. If they do change what are the alternatives? Watson could move up from three but then that would create another problem. Marsh seems to be the front runner. However, the leading Sheffield Shield run scorer is Ed Cowan who has scored 590 runs @ 65.55 with four hundreds, including two in the last game. New South Wales opener Ryan Carters has just scored 198 and Burns has 439 runs @ 54 for Queensland. Interestingly Steve Smith tops a poll of who people would like to see as the next test captain if Clarke doesn't make it. I would have thought Haddin or Warner are more likely. I fail to see why the Aussies also go for Wade when Haddin is missing as I see Nevill is again the top performing wicketkeeper in Shield cricket. It is a similar theme with the spinner with Doherty being picked ahead of O'Keefe when performance would suggest this shouldn't be the case.
With Craddock and Phillips no longer at the county who is going to be Panesar's understudy at Essex? I think it maybe 20 year old Aron Nijjar who took 34 wickets @ 23 for the seconds with his slow left arm bowling last season. He looks a handy bat too as he scored 218 runs @ 27.

Middx's new captain Voges is now probably more likely to make the Aussie squad than Rogers - he's averaging more than 100 in the Aussie domestic season.
The brilliant Aaron Finch has never played Test cricket but I wonder if his explosive one day form could translate to five day cricket?

3 hundreds in 46 first class matches with an average of just 29 hardly makes Finch an obvious choice for selection. For Voges to be selected Watson would have to open. Cowan is more likely. I still think Rogers will be chosen because of his experience of English conditions.
