Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3345268, member: 9881"] Well what the question appears to be is why should they need to come and ruin development opportunities in our comp instead of them innovating there’s for success. If your not even willing to use a Kookaburra ball for a couple county games than they have no right to demand or enquire about letting English players play at the expense of our own. Ashes happens on our soil once every 4 years what about developing our players for every other fucken series ever. I don’t really rate any of the players in their domestic competitions anyway there cricketing depth is through there white ball not red ball. Some of there Test players would be questionable selections in QLD and WA for Christ sakes. Let alone a full strength NSW (which to be fair they almost never have). I saw a suggestion about allowing 2 players in for each team. Like that’s not bad but I can’t really see any English player being worthwhile for QLD, WA (maybe a spin bowler). Victoria is filled with youngsters so it would just halt development. NSW could go with some players whilst internationals are being played but yet again youngsters. SA and TAS are the only teams that need it and well there currently sort of options for young players to go make the side. Seen with McSweeney and Brendan Doggett at SA and TAS you get all sorts of players trying to resurrect careers e.g Siddle. England need to make some sacrifices and re-align there priorities before asking us to neglect our talent for there’s. Last time I checked we can perform in England and they can’t perform in Australia. Well first of all our sides aren’t comparable to begin with and secondly if we can succeed there without significantly abusing there county system (you get the odd player or two go over there) Why should they need ours to succeed here.
