He's the right sort of age at 23, so that hopefully he could be with us for the next 10 years.

Enron is a good story. It's in a lot of different businesses areas; they are in the broadband business, for instance. They're really diversifying their asset base.

I don't have a target price, but it's a long-term hold, a core type of investment as well.

The recovery phase is probably behind us, and we've probably moved into a normalized expansion going forward.

Dan has shown when he gets in he is a hard batsman to get out, and if he can get another big score there is no reason why he should not finish the season with 1,000 runs,

We are delighted that James is joining us. His left-arm bowling will add extra variety to our attack, and he is coming over to Wales on the back of a highly successful season in New Zealand.
