If we throw the book at these players;

Adam Rouse

Blessing Muzarabani

Byrom

Welch

Butchart jr

Higgins

Curran (s**t one)

Ballance

Muyeye

Evans (if Googly is correct, I have no idea about this guy)

We could realistically get more than half of them back.

Money talks.

World cups talk.

Travelling internationally against international teams talk.

Spending Christmas with the family over a BBQ talks

And again, money talks.

Pick any of those 4 from that list and wallah, we have genuine depth in the batting at least.


Are we doing lineups again count me in

No dual citizenship is allowed, however that three year issue is the stumbling block. Although he hasn’t represented England for nearly 3 years, he has not been resident here for that period. I think this regulation is relatively new, it’s just a guess, but it’s probably a couple of years old, put in place to stop people being too mobile.

A union could appeal to the ICC and there are exceptional circumstances that they would consider. I doubt they’d let Ballance just pitch up and play though. Someone that had been schooled there or was at Uni I don’t think there would be a problem with. Byrom would be an interesting one because although he was schooled there he has essentially been living and working there for 3 years.

ICC would just have to accept the pity card.

Here’s the link, quite interesting.

Kepler Wessels, Goodwin and Johnson are obvious examples of guys that just jumped over and started playing, but it looks like they’ve plugged that hole.

Hami should go to UK & Australia with a list of Zimbabwe eligible players & beg them to consider playing for Zimbabwe....

Taibu & Streak did it...

If Hami is successful he might get voted in as ZC Chairman....

Right now he is heading to discarded in 10 months....

With BT & Raza on the other side & Capt Sean Williams being a puppet to Chibhabha time will tell...

No one is doing lineups. That post is from 8 months ago!

Mueddie,

If I recall correctly you were warned last time you decided to go on a spree and dig up old threads, yet you've done it again.

And if I also recall correctly, this is the 4th or 5th time you've pulled this stunt despite being apologetic last time.

If only the forum was policed at times. If it were me, I wouldn't ban you, but you'd be on a long holiday.
