Yep, played a great series against Sri Lanka (if I remember) and promptly announced he was going Kolpak. Big loss for SA.

Jofra Archer's dad is English, hence his British Passport and ability to play in the County Championship prior to being an international cricketer.

From Cricinfo
"Instructions had gone out from the Essex coaching staff not to divulge the glad tidings of Somerset's defeat over the PA system. Essex's players supposedly had to remain oblivious to the result, even though the county's Twitter account engaged in some joshing with Abbott. Presumably, mobile phone signals were also blocked all over Chelmsford in case a spectator had a word at third man, the media would have been arrested by a steward if they tried to leave the box and carrier pigeons were being gunned down over the River Can."

"Kyle Abbott finished with match figures of 17-86 as Hampshire dealt a huge blow to Somerset's County Championship title hopes with victory at the Ageas Bowl."

If Somerset vs Essex in the final match is on Sky, is it no longer proper cricket?

I suppose if I watch it with the TV turned to the garden, by myself, with a woolly blanket over my knees and a flask of soup, then it would count?
