Worrying news about the Duke.
Career is potentially over unless he discovers a reason why he constantly coughs up blood when he is bowling

Oh dear. That sounds awful, hopefully he can get it sorted and return to full health.

did he actually play for Hants?

Career record is 2 FC and 5 list A games so at best he made fleeting appearances. Can't remember if any of those games were for Durham.

first class games could easily be university games. Are matches against touring international sides considered first class?

Yes. Looked him up and the 2 FC games were one University game and the other against South Africa A.
At least two of the list A ones seem to have been on a Hampshire pre-season tour of the Caribbean.

given that his first list A match was played on 3rd Feb and his last on the 17th Feb, I reckon it's reasonable to assume that all of his 5 matches were on the pre-season caribbean tour.

An object lesson to very young players who haven't done anything yet.......sometimes it's better the devil you know, than the devil you don't.

It was such a bad move for him, that now he's been released, he could very easily slip out of the professional game and end up playing part time in some lower league somewhere.

perhaps he'll 'do a Rushy', but he'll have to do extraordinarily well for us to even consider re-signing him, and even then we probably wouldn't. Rushy's saving grace was that it was the club, not the player, who made the bad decision, and they made it just before a bowling crisis emerged

His tweet implies that he's been checked over and given the all clear- at least that's the way I interpret it.

An object lesson in not listening to agents -I doubt Hants would have ever heard of him unless approached by an agent. Hants have hardly any record of developing youngsters; both he and his parents should have checked that our themselves before committing. Should get off to Uni. and play his cricket there. Reading Astronomy perhaps? :hide

Exactly- presenting with that symptom would surely have alerted his club's medics to have him thoroughly checked?

Come in- keep up at the back. Surely you know his full name and the reason for it?
Ashley Hale-Bopp Hart- something about that comet appearing at time of his birth-or anniversary of.

I did wonder if it was to do with his middle name, but even when I looked at it, it didn't illuminate me since I've never heard of the hale bopp comet

I'm very dim, sadly...... damn that grammar school education.... not fit for purpose... no wonder they got rid of it

Not had I, nor most people I suspect. Unfortunately for him, his parents obviously had
"Hale-Bopp was an unusually bright comet that swung near Earth in the late 1990s, reaching its closest approach to the planet in 1997. It was most spectacular in the Northern Hemisphere and visible to the naked eye for about 18 months".
