Very worrying how much success the overseas bowlers have had against our guys.

It is...

Although does mean that there is value in them being here.

Wouldn't hurt getting some batters as well.

The lack of English pros this season hasn’t been discussed enough.

They are usually batters. Why is there none this year?!

In the last season Southern rocks won one game and looked like they didnt belong. how they have turned the story around this season to be on top with no losses so far. What an effort from them. Same cant be said for tuskers. Surely they could have made do with one or two of those asian bowling expats

Pretty similar squads for Rocks and Mountaineers but a complete 180 in performance.

They've had 2 Pakistani seamers. They just haven't had the same impact as those at other teams this year.

Like what the globalists figured out a long time ago, Pakistani's would live in a mud hut and get paid in daily Chicken Malai Tikka & Chicken Malai Boti just to avoid living in Pakistan. So it is alot cheaper to import fringe first class fast paceman from there then an Englishman. I think alot of those english guys were not really getting paid themselves too and were here on a holiday to stay cricket fresh and stat pad.

These Pak's might not even be fringe first class players, I dont even know, they all have similar names so its hard to track them, but they are a good addition because our domestic cup system has largely been the same squads for a decade, freshening up helps a lot. So they arent getting used to the same bowlers over and over. Probably a reason why despite 90% of our domestic players being nothing but amateur club players in any other country, we don't see Evans/Blessing and Richie dominate the local scene despite doing damage against better players internationally.

Yeah, they've been a very good addition. The vast majority have 0 FC experience in Pakistan though, which is the really concerning thing. Their domestic structures are large as well, much larger than Zim's. Yet some of these rock up and piss all over the Zim franchise cricket.

They no diubt have a large playing pool so if they are knocking at the door domestically they would still be very good. Wonder how they are picked.

I can imagine a Sydney A grade frontline boeler who cant get a start for the blues what damage they would do to the mountaineers etc
