SK_IH Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 SA will not survive for long. Already their back up is really average. But before retiring from intl cricket Olivier spanked Poyz as parting gift http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/26083365/duanne-olivier-quit-south-africa-signing-kolpak-deal-yorkshire Link to comment
sandeep Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 This is huge news. SA as a cricket power is declining right in front of us. This Kolpak bullshit needs to be banned by ICC. England has no shame stealing players from other countries - from Barbados to SA to New Zealand. Its not widely known, but they even tried to steal Andrew Symonds from Australia. express bowling and nevada 1 1 Link to comment

Suhaan Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Icc cannot ban pakistan Icc cannot ban kolpak poaching Icc cannot ban fixer amir for life Bcci and other boards should rather ban Icc Incompetent body whose main aim should have been to spread and expand its reach to every corner of the planet but it has failed big time, their incompetence is actually destroying the established strong cricket boards A weak SA,SL,NZ,WI,Aus....where are we heading ?by this time we should have witnessed a wc comprising atleast 20 countries Link to comment

Symonds is borderline okay compared to outright stolen players like Olivier, Riley Russow, etc. He was either born in England or lived there for a while.

Sgattick10 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 This is sad. Cricket would be boring without a strong SA. Only 9 competent countries play the game. express bowling 1 Link to comment
G_B_ Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I wonder where the test cricket is the real cricket brigade have gone. If it was not for the ipl supplementing the salaries of SA players with huge sums even counties could not compete with, then the decline would have been more quicker. of the list i think Abbot and Olivier are the biggest losses. Rest are a bit meh flamy and Laaloo 1 1 Link to comment

We've had enough of the ECB poaching our players and dictating when they can play for us (hardly ever). Time to take a stand. Well done to everyone involved, Gale, Moxon and Denison. We've played the moral good guys long enough for little reward while other counties have taken the piss. Edited February 26, 2019 by YCCC Link to comment

They can implement regulations that apply to member cricket boards and their domestic cricket. I understand England's problem, what with a handful of young players playing or watching the game, decline in Brexitstan is inevitable. But desperation shouldn't translate to such outcomes - where other teams are impacted. Link to comment

ipl is fun Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Very surprising. even after a 2 yr contract, picked for the last 2 series. With Dale Steyn on the way out, O had chances. How big are the deals. I assume its comes with big packages including residency for the family Link to comment
