Signed for the first part of the season until the end of July - could be a good signing:

Excellent signing. Happy with this.

Looks to be better with the bat but it could turn out to be a good signing, at least we appear to be getting in players into the team who's name isn't followed by a question mark.

Really good player who has transformed himself over the past 3 years from being a bit of a bits and pieces cricketer who batted 7 or 8 and bowled a few fill in overs to somebody capable of batting in the top 6 and a genuine change bowler. He's not express but he's quick enough to keep the opposition honest and he has height. Also has been known to bowl off spin. Think he's a fields in the slips too.

Does he have a CA contract? If so expect him to be pulled out of any deal with us at extremely short notice.

He played for K&D a few years ago, he seemed a very talented player and a good person.
Unlike some of our previous overseas signings, we can be sure he'll give 100% every time.

His bowling reminds me a bit of McAndrew from a few seasons back. Bowls a heavy ball, gives full effort, and he’ll be reliable, but maybe not the elite pace or skill of someone like Henry, Abbas or Roach.

Suspect he’ll replace Burgess at 7 in the order, with Barnard still 6.
As with all these things, time will tell.

Who's the keeper in this scenario and is he at 5 or 8?

Kai Smith is, probaby, the best keeper we currently have on the staff, especdially as we were told Davies had hand injuries so was unable to keep in four day games.

I'd suggest that we need to find another keeper, even if only for cover in case of injuries.

Latham should keep but I suspect he won't. Kai Smith needs to develop more with the gloves in my opinion.

I assumed it would be Latham or Davies.
