Gareth Andrew: Former Worcestershire seamer joins Hampshire - YardMan - 05-06-2016
Former Worcestershire seamer Gareth Andrew has joined Hampshire on a match-by-match basis.
Andrew, 32, has taken 231 wickets in 90 first-class appearances but was released by Worcestershire last season following injury problems.
Knee and back injuries have limited his appearances in the last two seasons.
The right-armer goes straight into Hampshire's 13-man squad for their County Championship Division One match at Lancashire, starting on Sunday.
Hampshire are currently without bowlers Fidel Edwards, Chris Wood, Reece Topley, Gareth Berg and Sean Ervine through injury.

Oh good, just what Hampshire need, another oft-injured bowler. Things are getting mighty desperate. The latest news is that Liam Dawson will also be unavailable to bowl against Lancashire because of an abdominal tear.
Hampshire are now down to just three fit fast bowlers - McLaren, Tomlinson and Tino Best. It would seem likely that Andrew, who has been signed to a one-match contract, will be the fourth seamer.

A terrible day of cricket for Hampshire yesterday as they were skittled out for a paltry 109.
The collapse started after James Vince was run out for a duck thanks to this cracking bit of fielding by Steven Croft.
Take a bow, Crofty, you have earned it.
