Ryan Higgins Turned Down Zimbabwe Approach

[Googly]

Ya agreed. Wrong format.

If they are going to target Higgins, they may as well try for Shane Snater. It's been 3 years since he represented Netherlands. Really on plays red ball cricket for Essex. Get him back into the fold for the the upcoming domestic season with a view to picking him by mid next year in time for the WC

[firebreaker]

Why do they need him to move to Zimbabwe? Just have him play for Zimbabwe and spend rest of his year in England. He’s good enough for that

[Googly]

Jeez I'd forgotten about Shane. Great bowler, and can hold a bat. Probably more effective than Higgins and Brad as a bowler. Accurate and skiddy.

In Essex till the end of this year. Doubt he'll want to commit himself to come back fully much like Higgins

ZC live on power trips. By allowing this to happen, they are saying that Zim Domestic cricket is shit, which they can't do. I've been saying for years that our mentality and ideas need to change. If we want to be challenging with the biggest teams, we need to approach things differently.

Besides the T20 specialists are there any full member players who dont play domestic cricket in their country?

[TapsC2]

It must be in the rules or something. If it was that simple all the Irish guys would be playing county cricket but they had to quit when they became a full member.

I suspect if you have a central contract you have to play domestic cricket when available. Also give boards the NOCs as well. The only guy I can see not living in Zim but playing for us is Tom Curran because he plays in the T20 leagues he wouldn't need a central contract

[ZIMFAN]

I have said many times that someone like Higgins could live in London full time and fly in and out for the blocks of Logan Cup, limited overs stuff. He would be in Zim about four months a year.

They also made an exception for Mire.
