Typical! I place a Division 2 team top runscorer accumulator and select Angus Robson as Leicestershire's top runscorer.
Won't mind having Angus Robson at Yorkshire on a summer contract, though I imagine he wants regular County Cricket.
It's going to do wonders for the morale of the academy batsman bringing in a 25 year old who's got a pretty moderate record(av.31) in the 2nd division. Not a signing for the likes of Yorks and Durham who have excellent academies, more for the likes of Hants and Sussex who have to rely on imported journeymen.
Academy batsmen are not standing out and first team batting options are thin on the ground, only backup with CC experience is Will Rhodes. All it needs is two players missing for injuries/international call ups for Yorkshire to field either a makeshift batsman or play an academy player not amongst the runs.
