Not sure he would want to come back to play lowly franchise cricket. It would be national selection or nothing, and I don't think he's good enough anymore

More Ireland rumours......

I think there is definitely a chance he will seek a return considering we are in a world cup year.

We are definitely shot on the ground bowling wise atm.

And should Chatara Vtori etc get an injury (as fast bowlers do) you'd think he wouldnt be too far away.

After watching Panyangara, Shingi and Vitori get pasted around by the Saffers and Aussies I think some ine like Ireland who is used to bowling in the power plays against quality opposition would be very handy .....

Got to live an Anthony Ireland rumour more frequent then a Sean Ervine one these days lol .....

May be time is ripe for Solomon Mire to get into contention rumours with the world cup being held in Australia...

i think there is merit in engaging gus like Solz and Tony . these guys have been and are playing regular and high level hard cricket that are local players are not getting . I think we should engage these guys even if its over a short period for the world cup just like its done for soccer . In soccer we have foriegn based internationals who should raise the bar for the national team .

Ireland could flourish with the good bounce in Aus

I hope not. That's not exactly fair on the current players is it.

Who cares, if he's good enough he gets in. Just because current players have been in Zimbabwe franchise system and playing incountry doesn't give them automatic rite to be picked first(well perhaps i am wrong as it seems to be ZC obnoxious,arrogant and ignorant policy-at the moment) on the basis that they have suffered the franchise system and lack of funds diligently . Fairness is for kindergarden!

This cretin attitude that you stayed in Zim and played in Zim means you are bumped up the pecking ladder is puerile and only in place in order for the ZC bullies to "control" the players and the salary expectation.

To not choose from outside the country, players that are getting better quality experience then the local set up is pure negligence and terrible leadership by the ZC selectors. In fact some of us die hard fans would almost call it treason!

How do you tell if he's good enough? Stats is one thing but surely you need to see him actually bowl? Would they invite him over for a net or send someone there or what?

Jimmy you never told us what happened at the Board meeting last Friday?
