.I think,you will want to see Streak playing for Zimbabwe again.
Well not just Streaky, among the rebels, I was a big fan of Blignaut, Ervine, Friend and Rogers as well. It would be dream come true if they ever come back.
The point I tried making there was that money-minded BCCI and Zee never thought that there were decent players in countries like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe too. Only when they saw an opportunity to mint money by attracting Bangladeshi viewership did Zee went to form a Bangladeshi team.
Coming back to the Ray Price interview, looks like on hindsight, he might have probably regretted the decision to have walked out of the contract in 2004 along with the other rebels. This feeling is probably resonated by many other rebels too, as Streak admitted in 2006 in "Extra Time with Rob Bonnet" on BBC that 'they probably could have explored other options, not that there were many'. Even Andy Flower has gone on record saying that their black armband move in WC 2003 could have been negotiated in a different way, but was quick to point out that it might not have been as effective.
But i just fear with more conviction now than ever before, after witnessing today's dismal batting display, that the rebel walkout might really have meant a death knell for Zimbabwean Cricket. I would be very happy if I am proved wrong in future.
