Jack Leach for sale.
Spinner. Test opener. Nut.

If possible, I'd like Jimmy Anderson for him, so @Na Maloom Afraad let me know what you'd want in return to make that happen.

I'd more than happy to give you Jimmy Anderson in return for my local Essex boy, Simon Harmer.

That could be great for both teams but trading the highest wicket taker of the tournament would be.....................................

I can't believe I'm doing this but yes - I think I can live with ttading away such a huge part of our team

Plus the homecoming of both Jimmy and Harmer is a great story. It's pretty much how things should have always been.

Jimmy Anderson

Suggestions:

Top-order batsmen: Adam Lyth, Zak Crawley
Billy Godleman, Alex Lees

Middle-order batsmen: Aneurin Donald, Rilee Rossouw
Tom Lace, Stiaan van Zyl

Fast-bowlers: Matt Milnes, Harry Podmore, Oliver Hannon-Dalby, Duanne Olivier, Ben Coad
Ben Sanderson, Michael Hogan, Luke Fletcher

All-rounders: Ben Raine, Luis Reece, Ed Barnard

Wicket-keepers: Ricardo Vasconcelos, Ben Brown, Ned Eckersley

For division 1 stats: Batting & Bowling

For division 2 stats: Batting & Bowling

Team-by-Team guide:

Middlesex (@CerealKiller ): Batting has been average. There is a clear lack of a dominating middle-order batsman who can score big. Malan has not performed as expected out of someone of his stature. And lower middle order is weak. Bowling has also been disappointing. Kyle Abbott and to some extent, Tim Murtagh had to share bowling duties. Together they have taken 42 wickets out of total of 67 wickets (63%).
Possible trades: Batsmen: Gary Ballance (Surrey), Daniel-Bell Drummond (Warwickshire), Tom Lace, Stiaan van Zyl
Bowlers: Matt Milnes, Harry Podmore, Michael Hogan

Somerset (@X Factor , @AJ MODS ): The batting has been just average (thanks to George Bartlett), but the bowling has been worst of the tournament (sorry to say!). Craig Overton had to do most of the wicket taking job while others leaked runs. Also, the top order has been very inconsistent. And they have a keeper who is not big-scoring and their weak batting needs a keeper who can score huge. And don't pick Jake Ball for god's sake. He has only bowled 18 overs in 5 matches (for a reason).
Possible trades: Bowlers: Matt Milnes, Harry Podmore, Oliver Hannon-Dalby, Ben Sanderson, Ben Raine (can also bat)
Keeper: Ben Brown, Adam Rossington (Surrey), John Simpson (Middlesex)
Batsmen: Adam Lyth, Zak Crawley, Joe Denly (Essex), Chris Dent (Warwickshire)

Essex (@Na Maloom Afraad ): They were light on spin but with the addition of Simon Harmer, I'm expecting much better results. Only thing they could do is find a better all-rounder as Keith Barker has been disappointing with bat and mediocre with ball while Bopara and doeschate have hardly bowled in the tournament.
Possible trades: All-rounder: Luis Reece, Sam Curran/Jordan Clark (Surrey)

Lancashire (@Ashutosh. , @Aislabie ): They have one of the best middle order of the tournament and had the best spinner of the tournament (they also have the second best). They are at the top of the table and can experiment with the side. The openers have been disappointing so do the pacers but with the addition of Jimmy Anderson, I feel they won't miss Harmer a lot. And not to forget they have the great Jack Leach.
Possible trades: Batsmen: Adam Lyth, Zak Crawley, Chris Dent (Warwickshire)

Warwickshire (@Willoughby63 ): With the best batsman of the tournament and an able partner, Warwickshire hardly felt the need for their middle order batsmen to score. And they have not as expected. Also, their second and third pacers have not been upto the mark especially Henry Brookes (with an average of 87.3 with only 3 wickets). They could give a chance to Craig Miles though. And Tim Ambrose has been bad with the bat but they have a replacement for him in the form of Burgess so it is not an issue to worry about.
Possible trades: Bowlers: Oliver Hannon-Dalby (I am sure Willoughby will look to get him back)
Batsmen: Daniel Lawrence (Essex), Steven Croft (Lancashire)

Surrey (@The Deadman ): They have the best batting of the tournament. Most of batsmen have made equal amount of runs at good averages with Ollie Pope being best of the lot. Their bowling has not been bad but if you have Rikki Clarke as your strike bowler then there is a problem. Darren Stevens has been disappointing with the ball but he will come hard for sure.
Possible trades: Bowlers: Matt Milnes, Ben Sanderson, Fidel Edwards (Warwickshire), Sam Cook (Essex)
