Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3464485, member: 8423"] India has a massive population as well obviously, so the chance of unearthing an unknown gem is MUCH higher than in Australia such as Arshdeep Singh. And really, Australia is going to have to be very lucky to identify the correct youngsters. There has been a bit of that already with NSW and that hasn't gone great with the likes of J.Sangha and J.Edwards, neither looks like they will give a return on the massive investment. So you either need to cast a wide net with less support or a small net with more support and risk missing some of the really good kids and losing them to the AFL which is the massive risk to losing the best young cricketers. But surely, CA must make enough money to have their centralised contracts as they do currently AND provide like 20-30 contracts per state PLUS another full-time development list under that. All-in-all, we are talking like 500 players MAX overall. And even go with the IPL model to an extent, instead of bringing in useless overseas hacks, give these next gen kids a shot...they can't be any worse than that bloke bowling last night or that Heat ring in.
