I bet he&#39;s regretting it now.<br /><br />...and your right about him being huge on the pitch :)<br /><br />Nightmare,<br />You know I never say bad about anyone [flutter eyelids and angelic smile].Stani Armyhttp://www.staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974101763828270710.post-46415752669983484152009-11-07T19:33:55.543Z2009-11-07T19:33:55.543ZSixsixeight - Yes!

You just cant buy in a local born talent with such an international record, his value to Yorkshire was unique. He is intelligent and I&#39;m sure could have negotiated if given the chance as he will have to settle for less now anyway. And move his family.<br /><br />But he was up against Yorkshire. They have a history of poor man management - all their stars tend to leave. Also he is a bowler - and bowlers tend to get treated like shit.<br /><br />Durham are hardly paying Harmison peanuts, [although he currently cuts a more threatening figure in county level bowling] they managed to work it out, and they know his true value.<br /><br />Players such as Joyce and Ramprakash I believe get even more.<br /><br />Petition - I&#39;d be right there if it was any county other than Yorkshire! As long as he gets his contract sorted it will be the Souths gain as we shall be able to see more of Hoggy in London!SixSixEighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16421812896957116375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974101763828270710.post-27504959623009242472009-11-07T15:47:30.056Z2009-11-07T15:47:30.056ZHoggard was too greedy - simple.Stani Armyhttp://www.staniarmy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974101763828270710.post-18586101432929345652009-11-06T10:25:35.468Z2009-11-06T10:25:35.468ZTotally agree, sixsixeight.

Mean and Horrid! And unfortunately for them Lanks and Durham were much nicer to their ex England stars. So yes tough times ahead, and now with no local born hero to encourage the young next generation talent.<br /><br />Mean, Horrid and F&quot;&quot;king stupid!SixSixEighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16421812896957116375noreply@blogger.com
