Bring 'em on. The Don will smash them right over the border and into to Mozambique!
Who else is in the Logan Cup qualifiers?

If they start offering scholarships they will have 90% of our kids knocking on their door. This is a serious long term threat to us and South Africa and the West Indies. We need to watch this carefully. A 3 year residency path for the US is a huge carrot.

I’ve always wondered why something like this hasn’t happened yet.
You could quite easily manufacture a test side from Canada or the USA

Ok, so read the article and rethought my original post. Sounds like the US are identifying players that they want to represent them and actively going out to sign them. One would assume then that it would mean that player giving up on representing their country again as they would need to do the the 3 year residency period too.
Could definitely see Zim players taking up this opportunity.

Seems odd that Corey Anderson would want to leave NZ for the States. NZ sounds like a much better place to live right now than the US.
You’d have to mad to leave beautiful peaceful New Zealand for the circus that is the United States of America

I can't wait for the World Series between the Texas Braves and the Seattle Seahorses.
If they did assemble a team that won some T20's and the Americans realised they could compete I reckon cricket could really take off. I just don't get baseball, I'd rather have a car accident than sit through a game of swinging and missing.

I wonder what the ICC funding for the States is? Anyone know?
It cant be much, they could probably currently afford Anderson and not much else.
Dangle a Green Card and you could empty Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and India.

It’s literally been raining for 12 hours straight. I doubt we will get any action this side of Christmas . It would be a real bonus

Since when does Hammy get to veto player selections? What the heck kind of dictatorship he think this is.
Also, is it just me but do the squads seem rather inflated on size? Some of those squads have close to 30 players. This would explain why ZC runs out of money fast if they have to pay every single one of those guys. Surely some of those guys will never play a game so instead of putting them in the squad, put them in a reserve squad or a development team or a B side or whatever you want to call it.

Those XIs all look decent. although there weren't many good players left out, if the National Team players can't be bothered playing every game things good get pretty average.
I'm not sure which side is the strongest? For the first time in for ever they talent pool seems to be very well spread. Maybe the Rocks are the favourites ?

If these were 4 teams instead of 5 we would have some real quality games. I think the guys first assignment next year is in February against Afghanistan so we should have at least 1 month of decent cricket.
Nyangani is the Chinaman right? Can’t wait to see him play. Also if they convince Ben Curran to play for us losing Murray won’t hurt as much. Sad to see Jarvis go. Maybe they can convince Snater too. I just checked the rules. There is no waiting period from an associate member to full member

Mpofu, Shingi, Maruma should follow Chigumbura & Hamilton Masakadza and leave their place for youngsters like Oldknow, Bechani,
