Hogan faces tough career choice

Of note:

"From our understanding from talking to Michael, it'll come down to him having to make a choice between Glamorgan and Western Australia," Stevens told Sportal.

Now I don't quite get why Hogan has to pick at all. Why can't he play as an overseas player? But, at the time this bit in a Phil Jaques article striked me as unusual in how it was worded. It seemed really stern:

Jaques, who has scored 2477 first-class at 61.92 runs for Yorkshire in his previous spells with the county, had a meeting on Monday where the paperwork was completed and now cannot play cricket in Australia except at club level.

NSW fans have often complained about how Sam Robson wasn't picked for NSW, even as an overseas player, but these recent cases add a bit of mystery to it. Maybe it's an ECB policy or something. But I don't quite get how they could legally get away with it. It all seems really odd.

I'm such a fan of Wes Robinson. Whoever picks him up will be better off.

SA and QLD obv locations. Hell depending on just who goes NSW might think about it

marsh is probably gonna move to opening isn't he? Katich seems pretty content at 4. North and Voges will likely slot in at 3 & 5.

oh and if Katich defies all expectations and stays and it's Usman who goes there it could be really interesting who opens

I mean, I might be reading too much into stuff, but watching the NRL Footy Show, they did a look-a-like between an NRL player (can't remember who it was now) and Usman Khawaja. And Slats basically said that Usman will be playing for QLD next year. Like, not even a maybe.

Surely he wouldn't be saying that unless it was littered with truth? It's not like he has few contacts at Cricket NSW...

 

[benchmark00]

I thought it was all but confirmed that Usman was going to Queensland?

 

[Spikey]

Yeah it got pretty much confirmed in a news ltd article the other week, but given that article about the warriors mentioned usman I figured i'd mention him

 

[benchmark00]

And surely it was Ben Barber.

NSW fear Usman Khawaja and Phil Hughes will walk

I knew NSW was unique in that the head coach couldn't coach in the bigbash so the NSW bigbash teans were more independent, but i didn't really consider how that could impact the contract situation.
