As usual, kind and constructive comments welcomed and the other sort tolerated because I believe in free speech!
It's a first rate review but I think our coach is MARK Robinson rather than that guy from Neighbours! Maybe Paul could do a better job.

Whoops! I must have been dreaming of Kylie Minogue (again)!
One possible option as an "Overseas" player, for part of next season would be Mark Adair, who is the leading all rounder for his country, and is a British citizen.
Strange that a British citizen has to be classed as an "overseas" player, but non brits were not classified as overseas.
A very fair and balanced assessment of the season, as ever, GS - Kylie notwithstanding!
In terms of an OSP next year, I heard good things about Anderson Phillip, who played a couple games for Lancs at the end of the season, with some success (..though obviously not enough for them to stave off relegation!). Essentially a quickish bowler, he can bat a bit too, apparently had a great attitude and would hopefully be available for the entire, or at least the majority of the season.

I thought 'the ship had sailed' or MA had 'burnt his bridges' at Edgbaston, to mix my metaphors!
And he didn't 'pull up any (Championship bowling) daisies' with Essex in 2023 - 2 wickets at an average of 111, in 2 matches (though his batting average was good - he got 3 x 50's, with an 88).
'The only good banker, is the Lickey Banker!'
He's consistantly performing well for Ireland, and doesn't miss many games, both of which are rare for our recent overseas players.
Quote from the late American football coach Oail Andrew "Bum" Phillips Jr.
"There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired."
Just saying!
Bum Phillips was a very good coach, one of the best of his generation, his son, Wade Phillips, was one of the best specialist defence coaches ever, and is still working in his mid 70's and the grandson is also a good coach at NFL level.
I think there was a membership forum last night. Did anybody go?
