A good egg and a bad egg
Ian Salisbury has signed an extension to his contract with Warwickshire so will be a Bear beyond his 40th birthday. To match Billy Quaife, however, who played his last game for the county aged 56 (and scored a century in it!), Salisbury will have to be still turning out in 2026.
Interesting speculation this morning, by the way, about Allen Stanford pulling out of his deal with English cricket.
Fingers crossed - for a multitude of reasons. Not least that if Stanford pulls out, the ECB will lose the main backer for their preposterous "English Premier League" notion for the 2010 season.
Let's hope Mr Stanford is, indeed, on his way.
Then there will be just one lugubrious, ego-crazed overseas impostor in English cricket left to deal with...

I thought Giles Clarke was English?
Hi John. I refer to Mr Pietersen, whose involvement with the England team was expedited with a similar degree of dignity and humility to that displayed by Mr Stanford.
