Given the intelligent way we deal with these things, Colly will probably be Hampshire's coach next season

Just been a tribute to Colly on SSN and at the end the narrator said " he'll remain at the club as coach! ". Didn't clarify.

Interesting. Let's hope it wasn't just a slip of the tongue!

Let's hope it wasn't prefixed by "hopefully" and I missed that.

Contradicted by ITB's statement.
“Colly is Mr Durham and it will be very strange without him, but on behalf of myself and everyone at Durham County Cricket Club, I would like to wish him the very best in whatever the future holds.”

Hopefully the retirement announcement came before there were any talks about a coaching role and they will have some discussions now. He'll be away with England soonish so there isn't a great deal of time.

just seen the look north tribute to Colly, including footage of him as a 14 yo bowler. Blimey... he was a skinny little herbert... looked about 10

Geoff Cook looking more and more like Phil Drabble, every time I see him.... the purple nose is a dead giveaway

Yes, he looked completely lost. Mind I think they said he was playing for the U14 team. He may well having been only 10.

no he would have been 14..... it was 1990 and he's 42 now. might have been 13 depending on the time of the year

he was still a skinny little Herbert
