Wonder if any of the big names coming over for the hundred could be tempted into staying for a few extra weeks of T20 cricket

2020 will be the second and final year of Zampa's and Delport's current whackball deals with us.
Ditto for Siddle, Essex contracted player until end of 2020.
No news on Amir.
No doubt Sussex have given Ravi a contract which states he can fuck off whenever he likes to play for bullshit franchise teams in worldwide T20 tournaments whilst county redball games are on.
Big shame he's gone. Mind you omg term thinking it's probably a good thing that Tendo, Chef and Bops haven't ended up all finishing at the same time.
O/S bat for the T20 needed now.

A real shame but not huge shock.
Saves some budget aswell.
Have we heard anything on targets for next year?
Do we have Siddle?
Zampa / Delport for T20? Amir?

Apparently signed contract with Sussex around the time he was dropped from the T20 side and was regretting it but couldn't get out of it.
Not the brightest.

Disappointed, but it seems Ravi wants to earn some wedge before retirement. Apparently Essex offered better terms, but the lure of getting a fee for playing different T20 tournaments was too great. Essex only want their players to be committed to them, hence the fall out and dropping of Bopara when he was drafted for the Euro T20 during the County Championship run in. About 5-6 seasons ago Ravi and Tendo were told to drop the T20 franchises and concentrate on playing for Essex.
“I want to emphasise that I am not giving up red-ball cricket but I will, for now, play less of it to find time in the calendar year to up-skill in T20 and take my game to a new level as I still have a drive to play international cricket.

"Want to achieve more in the game" = Sussex offered him twice as much wedge.

Shame he hasn't finished his career at his home county but obviously wants to fill his boots playing as much T20 around the world as he can.
Good Luck to him.

Cheers Norman, your Middle Saxons are struggling. Could be hard work getting out of Div2 next year again with only 2 going up. Think you'll need to hope that Notts underperform massively again and you're in with a shout.
No doubt the 50 over game next year against the mighty mighty ESSEX will not be held at Lord's due to that London Spirit Shane Warne claptrap so probably just the one trip there in 2020 for the whackball. Shame really, a full day trip to Lord's to watch the double 🏆🏆 winners would have been something to look forward to.

Found the Ravi Bopara quote.
Ravi Bopara, however, said he could not answer whether he would be at Essex next season.
"It's been an amazing season, I'm proud of this bunch of lads," he said. "I love playing with these boys, they're my family.
"It's emotional and I can't say right now (about my future). My lips are sealed and I don't want to get into any trouble and I have to keep quiet for now."

You're not going to get players giving up the pay day of T20 competitions to finish off a CC season.
I remember back in the day when Bopara was a test/fringe test player, he turned down an IPL contract to play in the CC to try and get selected for the test side.

So players will miss whack ball money, for non monetary reasons.

I did wonder when Somerset offered the draw if it was because if they'd played on to 1730 and (probably) lost as a result it may have cost the Wurzels players a bit of money in a draw bonus or suchlike if that is in some of their contracts.
