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.
