Anyone heard of this guy.

Anyone got news of any other players coming or going. Kruger has left us i heard.

Never heard of him, wont be expecting that much really.

Yep, Kruger has gone. Rowe and Cummins have already gone. It does leave us weak in the fast bowling stakes.

Nixon may not be back next season either - http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/current/story/372125.html

Funny I know a lad with roots to Montserrat with the same second name. Decent chance of a relation.

Never heard of him. He's 24, and has taken 18 first-class wickets at 46 and never got a 5-for!

We'll probably sign Daggett, but would prefer it if we signed Tom Smith.

Heard Nixon talking on Radio Leicester this morning saying that we are close to signing fast bowler Andrew Harris (ex Notts player).

He's had plenty of injury problems, but apparently Leicestershire have done a number of scans on his troublesome areas and think he's worth ago! Cue for him to break down in first championship match of next summer!

Tom Smith would be a terrific signing although I imagine there would be a long queue if Lancashire did decide to let him go with us at the back of it.

I've looked up more info on Baker, he was a good young bowler but hasnt really progressed at all. As far as I can tell hes performed well in 2 domestic T20s and somehow got into the WI provisional stanford team.

He did well in birmingham league cricket, but put in poor shows for the Warwickshire 2nd XI and has somehow ended up on our door step. Its all very bizarre. Leicestershire get all the criticism directed at them with moves like this.

Andy Harris, well, I'd be disappointed with that too. Hes 35, has had a few injuries and recorded impressive figures of 1/192 this year. On what world is this a good signing?

Cummins gone to Northants as well as Lee Daggett who we had on loan towards the end of the season.

Contract cancelled due to him being called up by the West Indies.

Dang, I saw he had made his debut and taken a 3fer, I was quite surprised we had picked up someone with talent until I saw that last post.
