Morne Morkel -> Surrey (Kolpak)
Maybe.

It's a really sad indictment of inequalities of test cricket that players like Morkel feel their best option is to take a Kolpak deal rather than play tests. Fair play to him, he's 33 now with a young family, but you suspect if CSA got a little bit more dollar, and CA, ECB and BCCI a bit less that they could afford to pay him a better amount for a central contract that he'd still be playing test cricket.

Latham and Markram as overseas at Durham. Top order batsman choosing to play at CLS is brave, so well done them.

Reece Topley another to drop down to white ball only, but at least he has a genuine reason having been beset with injuries for 2 seasons in a row. Latham and Markram are bonkers.

Latham was decent last season. Markram... we’ll see. It’s a massive lottery against Darren Stevens et al. in April, perhaps he’ll come off?

Best of luck to Latham and Markram! They'll need it.
Topley decision totally understandable. I often forget he even plays for Hampshire.

Topley has a case of Mills Back, right?

Corey Anderson > Somerset for the whole T20 Blast. Solid but unspectacular signing.

If it's Morkel, the world might explode. But probably a T20 signing.

Hashim Amla. That's pretty decent.
Available in April, May and June.

So Amla in everyone's fantasy team then?

He'll replacing Kumar Sangakkara in the highest priced batsman club I should think.

Think most of us are just delighted it wasn't Afridi!
