When Byrom was out here with Kieran Carlson you could see Ed was a better bat, technically better, not much in it though. But Kieran has gone on to captain Glamorgan and has done well for himself. Not sure whats going on with Ed atm.

Doesn't his contract end this season? What do you think he will do? Another county? Ireland? Zim?

I don’t think he will get another contract.

Ireland vs Zim is interesting.

I saw he caught up with Evan’s and someone else the other day. So I would lean more Zim.

Zims draw card is surely the amount of cricket we have coming up.

I reckon Ireland, all his family are now based in the UK I think.

See what happens this winter, he will be required to do at least one full year franchise so if he pops up with the Rhinos then that will indicate where his intentions are.

He's now engaged to be married. I think much depends what nationality the new boss is and where she wants to live.

I'm sure Ireland is an option, but their politics are also big. The Frosts have been on the periphery there for a while. Both good players. We know PJ'S struggles as well.

No reason why he shouldnt get another county contract. Hes a good player.

Raining again at Arundel. They were about to start as well. Pretty sure theyre going to call it.

The forecast was good as well and theyre usually pretty accurate. Its gotten cold and no Africans like the cold.

Both Frost’s and PJ all appear to have abandoned Ireland and are based in Zim this winter. I wonder what has happened there?

PJ is such a failed talent. Big four blocked his development in Zim and then never made it with Ireland. I know he does not need to money but he must look back on his career with regret.

His career is basically over now.

No Mike Frost is there. Hes been on the periphery for a while.
Hes a real quality bowler. Got done a big disservice at Mountaineers, and he can bat a bit. If youre on the edge of Ireland but you can't make a franchise eleven there's something wrong.
Ali Frost is a very underrated batsman as well. Technically excellent and a gun fielder. He's another guy good against pace.
They have other options, can afford to hang around because money is not a major issue but at some point you also have to get on with your life, unless you are prepared to play cricket as a bit of a hobby, which they can afford to do for a while.
I'm not suggesting theyre a shoe in for the national side at all, but Mike should have been allowed to play Franchise.
Both of them are very capable players.
With ZC being reluctant to give franchise opportunities the system is crying for another franchise for the people they dont want.

I see the pot is being stirred between Takashinga and Rangers. Takashinga claimed they weren't allowed room at OG's and had to sit on the grass under a tree. Theyre supposed to be playing this weekend but looks like Takas cant raise a team so its been postponed. Rules say you forfeit, but thats being ignored. Now they're saying theres no parking at Takashinga and Rangers have to park elsewhere and theres no chairs for them either, bring your own. Unbelievably toxic and nasty.

Another list A and 20/20 side be beneficial

Bye team of the Logan cup can play Zim emerging

Just looking at club land.
I am surprised that Ronak Patel hasn’t gotten a go yet.

Hard to see how one progresses.
