Disappointed with Giles to be honest - didn't Lancs release him so he could join the Bears and be closer to his family? Surely the England role will take him much further afield, ie. Overseas??

He had a sense of unfinished business with England.When he came back to the Bears he inherited a squad from Dougie Brown that was too big and too old. He was part way through his rebuilding plan when the England job came up, now that wasn’t the best timing for the Bears but I can see why he took the England job.

Yes, but the reason he wanted the move back to the Midlands was for family reasons?
A terrible start to the season. Bottom of both tables! Injuries have really affected the team which is relying on too many youngsters, but poor decision making from the management in terms of experience - especially releasing Keith Barker too early.

I got an email from Gloucestershire a few weeks ago telling me about the exciting signing of an international star. It was some fucker who plays for Scotland.
Keith Barker not even featuring for Hampshire??
