Proud to announce @harmy14 as our County contracted player. Great news for the club and we look forward to seeing Ben shortly #teamwashy

Thats Ben Harmison by the way
 

Tell me how that one works bearing in mind he plays for Kent, 300 miles away?
 
I gather he comes home at the weekend each week. only playing seconds at Kent so no weekend games. He must like home

Yes the general perception is that they are both very much home birds.

I note that he played against Notts midweek in the YB40 but your post makes me wonder if he may well give up on first class cricket soon.
 
Big question is, whos financing Washington? Their wage bill must be the highest outside of the top tier of the NEPL.
 
He was at Morpeth a couple of years ago and was steady with the bat, but his bowling was awful. Nasty case of the yips. Figures were along the line of 0-30 off 2.

Have to question lads like that though. Surely the thing to do would be get himself settled down in Kent, and do whatever it takes to get into the side. Plenty of top clubs down there and I'm sure the people who matter down there would rather he was playing locally and getting himself sorted.
 
Interesting signing, hope it works out for both club and player.
 
Hindmarch is off playing for the Unicorns in the YB 40.

Harmison is only playing YB 40 at Kent at the moment, not played a four day game for quite a while.
 
He's a horrible mag charva

Anyone got that pic of him offering Safc fans on after the derby, mortal drunk & clutching a mangey pitbull to look hard :lol:

Someone somewhere is spending a lot of money! Do Washington realise there is no promotion in the first year of NEPL2?

Need to get some facts right mate.

There is no such thing as NEPL2. Its Premier League and 1st Division, and there is Promotion / Relegation between the two Leagues.

However there is no relegation into the Durham Cricket League.
