Great, but we only have two people to deliver balls for him, Fowler and Burns. Perth didn't want Pellegrino, he left because Perth offered him a horrible deal, I don't think we got any money from the deal either.

hopefully he's not another mile sterjovski

Let's hope he can settle ans form doesn't desert him.
