[mikemanc]

Interesting, just been told that Bishop Auckland have signed one of the released players as a player/coach for next season

Rimmington staying local or is Coughlin getting into coaching early?

I did wonder him but thought he'd got a contract with another county. I may have imagined that.

Leics signed him on loan at the beginning of August but while it was announced they were signing Scott Steel I've heard nothing about Weighell being offered a permanent deal.

Aye Rimmington. Could be a decent thing for the club. Hopefully encourages some people back to the club and back into cricket. Its tempting myself as well tbh.

 

[Parkside]

Presumably Rimmington has a Hundred contract for 2021 deferred from 2020.

Speaking to an old friend who is involved in club cricket in the Essex/ East Anglia area apparently as it stands there will be no scheduled second Xl county cricket next season.

Is this the same Cameron Bancroft who earlier this year was so woefully out of form that he was dropped by Western Australia and was set to play Grade Cricket before their season was curtailed?

Perhaps Durham are going to check his form when or if the new Aussie season starts before offering him a contract.

Bancroft 103* for WA overnight to go with 46 and 71 in the first Sheffield Shield game, looks like he's in decent nick at the moment.

Bancroft left out of the Aussie squads for India, Warner not retiring and they've taken an uncapped player as the top order cover.

Ideally he'll have a long spell next season playing all formats.Not sure of Australia tours and training camps etc

Think this has been on the cusp for a while tbh. Clubs just can't afford it.

Yeah feel he is a way down the pecking order now.

It was explained to me that some Counties are "waiting" to sign players, rather than pay them throughout the winter(not sure how Furlough works in these cases).
They will sign players from January, or, in some cases, April so they have less months to pay wages. The catch is that some other Counties may step in and sign these players ?
Think that this is what is happening to Weighell.
