    Glad he's staying, though strange why it's taken so long

    Good news about Stewart . Is Zak’s contract up ? 
    Yes but there are all sorts of uncertainties surrounding him specifically in relation to central contracts, availability, form and whether he's staying or not.

    As is his right, he might have been waiting to see if any other counties were forthcoming. What is stranger is the fact that there's been no announcement of a county cap. It's over eight years since he made his debut for us and the irony is that we've just signed two players from other counties who already have Kent caps - Northeast and Milnes who was only with us originally for four years.

    That must be the game where Brad Friedel scored for them right at the end, and then Claus Jensen got the winner. The sort of game to convert anyone from the dark side  :)

    Crawley goes on to talk about the Gill incident this summer and his Millwall supporting uncle:

    Crawley enjoyed the contretemps with Gill, the opportunity to show defiance. “I texted my uncle because I knew he’d love it, they’re always talking about Millwall and growing up in inner London, and they’re great stories,” Crawley says. “And with Gill, I thought it was funny. It wasn’t premeditated, but I was genuinely annoyed. You don’t get many chances like that to stand up against 11 men and I loved it, really."

    That’s why it helps in those moments to be proper Millwall. To stick that chest out and say: if no one likes us, we don’t care. But Zak Crawley can’t help caring, just a little bit; because he’s Charlton, really.

    John Emburey is the only notable cricketer I can  think of who supported Millwall. Millwall don't seem to have many cricket connections.

    Very rare principally because the Laws of the game are a bit complicated for them and hooliganism isn't part of the culture.

    That said, Ali Orr, formerly of Sussex and now Hampshire is. Who knew the Millwall squad is multi-lingual? 

    This affinity came about when he was a boy. Orr’s parents took him on holiday to Portugal, to a resort where the Millwall squad were training and the manager, Ian Holloway, invited him to join in. I learnt a whole lot of words I didn’t know before,” he says. His ambition is to watch matches at all 92 Football League grounds. Hampshire’s rained-off fixture in Durham last month allowed him to visit Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. “It takes my mind off cricket,” he says.

    That's pretty funny. Good cricketer too when he's not finding the most ridiculous ways to get out I think I've ever seen. Was ran out twice in a season backing up at the non strikers end for Sussex.

    Cricket, gentleman’s game with decorum and etiquette.

    millwall, stone island, reebok classic, fosters tops and c bombs.

    The experts on married at first sight would not match these.

    According to another forum, Hollioake had indicated that Stewart, DBD and Jas have signed contract extensions.  

    Just one more of those, DBD, to be confirmed. That still leaves the futures of Billings, Crawley, Joe Denly, Quinn, Klaassen and Cohen to be resolved/announced.
