Hi guys. Having investigated the cost of getting NAMED coaches at a reasonable price has been unfruitful.

Last time I was able to get Mike Gatting,Ian Gould,Roland Butcher, Steve Burrow etc.

There are contractural reasons regarding MG and IG (now elite umpire). Not all the Middx current or past players have coaching badges. I feel it would not be the same being coached by a qualified but unknown coach.

Also there is the budget I had set. Cricket has become a more highly paid profession and the incentive of £150 to get out of bed on a Sunday morning in the winter is not really appealing to these guys.
