TRO Gompers Chomper Sep 2018 11:31am, 27 Sep 2018 17,488 posts	0 TRO Gompers Chomper It could be the long awaited 'former England test players still plying their trade on the county, hell even minor counties, circuit' deathmatch. It would have been a field of 58, but for Paul Collingwood's retirement. At least the field has been massively increased by our fruitless search for an opening bat to partner Cook and a spinner to replace Swann over the last 3-4 years......
Nicholls595 Sep 2018 11:33am, 27 Sep 2018 17,145 posts	0 Nicholls595 Why did you post that TRO? You do know that's my afternoon gone for a Burton now? I won't settle until I've identified how many former England players are actually still playing. :-/

TRO Gompers Chomper Sep 2018 11:44am, 27 Sep 2018 17,489 posts	0 TRO Gompers Chomper Personally I think tests only, but we need the grade of cricket that they are currently playing to go low enough to get Daffy on the startlist....

Nicholls595 Sep 2018 12:09pm, 27 Sep 2018 17,148 posts	0 Nicholls595 OK I make it 73 past and present, all formats, playing in County Cricket this (2018) season. Take out ODI and T20 only, and the 16 man Sri Lanka squad and it leaves 41 ex Test players I think
TRO Gompers Chomper Sep 2018 12:12pm, 27 Sep 2018 17,490 posts	0 TRO Gompers Chomper 41. Disappointingly small field, had we run this DM in the early 00's after the madness of the late 80's and 90's I'm sure we could have got 70 or 80 on the start line....
TRO Gompers Chomper Sep 2018 12:14pm, 27 Sep 2018 17,491 posts	0 TRO Gompers Chomper Grep, former Essex players now plying their trade as current test cricketers may not have a very large start list....
