I said Surrey needed to sign a bowler capable of taking 60 wickets.
They have decided on their old flame Harbhajan Singh.
I have never been that big a fan of Bhaji outside of the subbie, but he has 57 wickets @ 21 for Surrey, so they should be pretty confident.
You may be saying, how awesome is this, I can’t wait to go down to the oval and watch two world class off spinners plying their trade.
Alas, two world class offspinners is one too many for Surrey.
Saqlain Mushtaq has been assed.
Why, because he is a scum of the earth ICL player.
According to the BCCi and CA ICL players are the plague of International cricket and should be stamped on repeatedly until death.
And Surrey want to host IPL matches.
Simple.
Saqlain was playing as an English player, which meant you could have kept him, and had Bhaji.
That is an attack Surrey could have ridden to Division 1.
Bhaji and Pedro Collins are now the two front line bowlers, and that looks a little light on.
My first impressions of Surrey have been when they give something to you, they also take something away.
But did they really have to take away my favourite offie and ensure that they couldn’t sign Mendis in one foul swoop.

But they’ve got Alex Tudor, remember? They’ll be setting Div 2 alight!
I hope Saqi signs for another team and tears them a new one.

That would be cool.
