Honestly there’s more chance of me playing for Zimbabwe than Ballance or BT going forward.

If you can hold a bat you’re in the team bro

Spoiler: I can't.

Naqvi being out of the country for the whole winter fucks his residency qualification. So thats that gone. If Curran was serious then he'd do the hard yards and do an NPL season here like everyone else. He won't be in the picture until he does. He just seems to fly in for a couple of months and then...

It’s almost as if ZC can’t win here?

You know I agree with your general points above , but surely it’s not a bad thing going out to the diaspora and trying to strengthen our pool that way as well. I don’t see how this is a bad thing.

Middlesex I believe have been banned from signing overseas players this year. Some sort of financial special measures imposed by the ECB as they are in so much debt.

He's probably on comfortably £100k/yr at Middlesex plus I think he has played the Hundred the last few years so whatever he gets for that as well. Likely that he has a good enough record to get a county deal basically for the rest of his career. That's a nice amount of financial security. He said in...

Other than Gumbie I think Wes is the shortest person in our squad. I have stood within a few meters of him and he is significantly shorter than me and I'm 5'11.

Not a cat in hells chance. More chance of BT making a playing comeback.... .....and thats as likely as the Vic Falls stadium turning out to be a success

Averages 35 in County with the bat and 24 with the ball. I'd say thats rather good for an all-rounder. Would Evans/Jongwe/Faraz have those figures in county...?

Not at all surprised he said no.

He is a really quality player though and it's interesting that ZC are still making such approaches to players. i thought the Ballance disaster might have put them off going down that route again. It's good to hear that ZC are trying!
