Making these kids commit to 2 years of no other sport is specifically designed to exclude the private schools, don't be fooled by any spin about professionalism.
Hellenic, Falcon, Wise Owl, these are private schools... That is virtually the whole squad. Not a state school kid to be seen.

Squad is so poor.

Ive done a series of tweets on different aspects.

Connor's dads comment re the contract sums up everything wrong with ZC.

Two from Hellenic courtesy of some manoevering by Moses Chitare and Blignaut, one from Falcon and I wasnt considering Wise Owl as a private school. My mistake.
I was talking about private in the context that they wont allow kids to opt out of playing other sports.

I cant think of a government school with a decent cricket ground apart from PE. Im not saying there isn't, I just dont know of any.
