Yes, probably agent trying to get more than his pound of flesh -no pun intended!
Hopefully a sensible compromise can be reached.
Also think Pudsey has capability of being a punishing middle order bat.

I'd have him up here
He might have one last burst of form in him, I wouldn't be unhappy to see him here. Stories in the press that Yorkshire are not going to give Tim Bresnan a new deal , if this is Colly's last year as a player and this time it surely will be , he'd be a good replacement.
Bresnan's stats in the last season and a half are moderate in the extreme; doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Colly's retirement will release mega bugs but the priority should be not a player but a top fitness consultant who can keep our young fast bowlers on the park.

Kevin Shine, perhaps?

Youre not looking at the bigger picture though, Westo..... Imagine that extra 3 mph of pace and what it could do.
