As a follow up to the above, Derbyshire once had Michael Holding as an overseas player, and they have also had quality batters including Dean Jones, Michael di Venuto and Chris 'Buck' Rogers on their books over the years.

Just looked up the records of Blair Tickner, the New Zealand seamer playing for Derbyshire. He has 251 FC wickets at 34.22 a piece from 83 matches (so just barely three scalps per match average, one whole wicket per match below my standard for a specialist bowler). These figures would be indifferent for a home player. For an overseas player, doubtless being paid better than a home one, they are quite frankly a disgrace.
