Contemplating polishing my forehead a bit more
About Me
- Middle & Off
- Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom
- Mad as a box of frogs when it comes to cricket...playing, watching, eating, sleeping, everything cricket. Not a great season for me last season. I took 21 wickets @ 19.75 and scored just 62 runs at 15.50. Heroes: Ramps, Randall & Langer Zeros: Nasser Hussain & David Graveney.

A good plan. Take a few wickets in grade cricket, develope a suitably antipodean accent, find your latvian grandmother's birth certificate -- and you can come back and play county cricket for Yorkshire under the Kolpak rule.
Or to put it another way. How the hell is the next generation of young english players ever going to develope if every vacancy in every county side is filled by some itinerant south african or australian or whatever. The proliferation of overseas players in the county game, via Kolpak or by other routes is undermining english cricket. Yorkshire's decision over Rudolph is shameful. But it's not an isolated phenomenon. Don't take a risk on a promising youngster, hire some middle aged pro from down under.
