agreed - however what has that done for the ENG national team / game?????Spetsnatz said:Indeed. The CC is quite tough in that sense.
flogging yourself to death in what could be called a war of attrition does no one any good.
we have previously debated the idea that the ENG County season has too many games & that the local players have perhas a certain level of complacency regarding their selections etc. For the forgeiners it's a nice little monetary spin off in their domestic off season, and they know that the real business begins back Home when their domestic season starts. Admittedly the fringe players etc would get more than this from off season in CC - but not perhaps the established internationals.....
