Although The Times does redeem itself by selecting a Surrey discard, Dominic Sibley, as Batsman of the Year and by mentioning two of our players too:
Young player of the year James Bracey (Gloucestershire)
Bracey, 22, is one to keep an eye on. An obdurate four-day batsman and dynamic striker of the white ball, he has impressed enough to be selected for England Lions duty and is very much on the selectors’ radar.Honourable mentions for Ollie Pope (Surrey), Ollie Robinson (Kent), Zak Crawley (Kent) and Robert Yates (Warwickshire).

Erm....I did use the word ‘unpredictable.The_President said:
I think you'll find that up until about a week ago, the September weather, as usual, has been fairly good.SoundAsa£ said:The usual unpredictable September weather once again playing havoc with some very important games....a typical anti climax to the season.
I really don't get the September weather bashing, fifth test bathed in sun,and beginning of month very good too.
Rather cricket in September than April.0 -
I'd forgotten how badly they'd done in white ball cricket!Addick Addict said:I might have to stop buying The Times after reading what they have said about our neighbour's achievements this season:
Season to forget award Surrey
While Nottinghamshire had an appalling championship season, finishing bottom of the table without a victory, they did, at least, get to T20 finals day. Surrey, last year’s county champions, endured a forgettable season across all three formats, finishing sixth in the championship, bottom of the group in the one-day cup and second from bottom in the Blast. It is, though, one of the reasons we love county cricket — it is gloriously unpredictable. Champions one year, nowhere the next to prove silverware isn’t necessarily linked to wealth.
It's just not cricket!0 -
Obviously, not a great year for us, but I've heard we have signed Steve Smith,Rabada,Labushagne and Rohit Sharma for the Championship next season, along with Kohli,Cummins,Boult,Finch,Bumrah,Starc and Babar Azam for the 100 and 1 dayers, so we might have a slightly better season next time up.0

Those signings would not surprise me in the least - not from the ability of Surrey to afford them but rather from the perspective that they would be breaking the rules in doing so!The_President said:Obviously, not a great year for us, but I've heard we have signed Steve Smith,Rabada,Labushagne and Rohit Sharma for the Championship next season, along with Kohli,Cummins,Boult,Finch,Bumrah,Starc and Babar Azam for the 100 and 1 dayers, so we might have a slightly better season next time up.2 -
If I didn't know better, AA, I would think you have a thing about Surrey !0

We need to look at the positive element of this alliance as there is great potential for some Palace/Surrey supporters to now switch their allegiance to Kent. We might even be able to complete the conversion by them becoming Chalton supporters too - how 'bout it Canters?

Fro.m now on I'm going to refer to Kent as the Nigels4

I'm sorry, but its a bit like Charlton not wanting Millwall fans to start supporting Charlton - no one likes you, we dont care want you.Addick Addict said:We need to look at the positive element of this alliance as there is great potential for some Palace/Surrey supporters to now switch their allegiance to Kent.

I feel unclean somehow!
Katrien Meire must be involved advising the Kent hierarchy somewhere!
Charlton are the natural team for Kent to link up with. Stuart Leary, Sid O'Linn and Fred Lucas are 3 reasons. Not forgetting of course the great Derek Ufton, happily still with us, who has served both as player and committee man.1 -

Matt Coles has been released by Essex. With Bopara leaving to join Sussex one would have thought that there might have been an opening for him now. Clearly not.Addick Addict said:In 2013 two extremely talented all rounders were sent home from an England Lions Tour:
"Both xxxx and xxxx have ignored the instructions given to them around their match preparation and recovery," said ECB performance director David Parsons.
One was Ben Stokes who might finally have realised that he cannot afford to allow off the field "activities" to affect his opportunities on it. Throughout the time since Stokes has always been the best and hardest trainer in the camp.
The other person to be sent home was, of course, Matt Coles. In a few years time people will, if some from other counties aren't already, be saying "Matt Who?"
Talent only goes so far.0 -
Bopara joining Sussex ! thats a strange move - especially after doing the double this year.Addick Addict said:

If you want to be competing in Div 1 (let alone aiming to win it) you need much better than Coles and thats before you bring his off the pitch/attitude into the equation. Would be a firm no from me.Addick Addict said:

Derbyshire or Leicestershire might take a punt but otherwise I think Matt Coles will struggle to find another county.
All the talent in the world but at nearly 30 with a well documented attitude problem that precedes him I think he is finished. Sad because the bloke could play and at one time lost nothing in comparison to Ben Stokes whom he was sent home with all those years ago.0 -
Someone once told me he was not very popular there.0
-
apparently Bopara was offered increase in terms by Essex as well.Sounds like he wants to do the T20 circuit though as well as short format county cricket.0

Seeing a Kent bowling lineup of Coles, Claydon, Stevo and Tredders at least made me feel better when I looked in the mirror!LenGlover said:Derbyshire or Leicestershire might take a punt but otherwise I think Matt Coles will struggle to find another county.
