Zimbos in the UK : Season 2015

[SpitfiresKent]

Another century for BT! and Kyle Jarvis continues to take wickets for Lancashire.

Here's some footage of Jarvis bowling against Derbyshire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r9AzHM-MOs

Looks a real handful!

Not sure how happy I am about this on one hand I'm glad they're doing well as BRMT and KJ are two of my favourites but their success means they won't be looking for the back door back to Zimbabwe anytime soon .....

Could BT court offers of an international contract next season?
Either through his current county upgrading or a rival team (contracts mean shit nowadays).

Given he plays for an international team with little fixtures having HIM as the international would work in notts favour am I right?

Zimdoggy makes sense bro

So basically swap the kolpak contract for an overseas with notts.
He could well go for this being a proud zimbabwean.

As good as that sounds it'd make little sense. Why would Notts offer Taylor an overseas contract when they can get him on a Kolpak and then have an overseas player as well?

Yeah he's locked in now can't see them changing their minds, I get the feeling BRMT went looking for this Kolpak deal so if he did have a change of heart it would be even harder for him to get out ......

Guess the only hope is his Mrs gets homesick but even then he's only in England for 6-7 months of the year anyways ......

BT knows what he means to his country.

The thing is,
If BT is tearing new assholes left right and centre then this surely will attract interest from the other 800 counties playing.
That then means BT has a bit of bargaining power, and what perfect way for a county to pique his interest than to offer him the best of both worlds?
And the county team also benefits because he is an international player that will only play one series a year during county season...whereas someone like James Faulkner or someone will play 3 in that time.

That is called a win/win situation for both parties. If BT plays it smart, he will know this.


The only spanner in the works here is if he does start to have ambitions of playing for the old dart...
That would be a game changer.

Apparently Birmingham and Lancashire leagues are strongest in the UK. Lots of good professionals play in them I think.

The WEST OF ENGLAND PREMIER LEAGUE is also another top league loads of professionals in the league

[jontym87]

another player placed in the UK.

Not heard of him before though -

decent player played for Eagles 2nds but good enough to play 1st.... Chimbambo secured a full-time job away from cricket in SA so no-longer have time for this.
