indeed he was, seemed to fail when called up to england in ICC though, even when his average was 20Was gun on ICC was Ricaldo
Is there a similar scheme to reward counties for picking English players?Its the right idea but wrong process and the rewards are too small.
Yeah there has been one in operation for a few years, to get the maximum amount you have to have 9 English qualified players in your side every game.Is there a similar scheme to reward counties for picking English players?
Yep, which is currently causing a bit of a furore in Indian restaurants who can't get chefs, and circuses who can't get trapeze artists, apparently.Apparently the UK are being more strict in general about the issue of work permits, wherever you are from.. *hugs passport*
yeah they have applied the same rules as used in football. Makes sense imo.The article I read about Klinger was very specific about getting a work permit for county cricket. I think you either had to have a national contract, have played a test in the last two years, or have played eight (I think) ODIs in the last two years.
No. They can get chefs, they just can’t chefs from Bangladesh that they pay tuppence anymore.Yep, which is currently causing a bit of a furore in Indian restaurants who can't get chefs, and circuses who can't get trapeze artists, apparently.

Yes, anything that keeps guys playing in SA and coming through into international cricket for SA is good.Must say, the stricter restrictions have ‘saved’ South African cricket from losing du Preez, Puttick and de Wet in recent times. So it is good from that perspective, especially as the likes of de Wet can offer something to the national side.
Well with Klinger he has only shined in one season and apart from that, he has been distinctly average - so it is debatable whether he would raise the standard of county cricket by much.Yes, anything that keeps guys playing in SA and coming through into international cricket for SA is good.
I more find it annoying that we have Stuart Law, Grant Flower and Charl Willoughby playing, not someone like Klinger. The latter would bring up the standard of competition well, and also Klinger was trying to be the one overseas player rather than getting in the side in addition to that.
Who's signed Law? And what's wrong with Charl Willoughby playing? He's a quality bowler.Yes, anything that keeps guys playing in SA and coming through into international cricket for SA is good.

I think Law is playing for Derbyshire.Who's signed Law? And what's wrong with Charl Willoughby playing? He's a quality bowler.
Stuart Law is set for his Derbyshire first-class debut tomorrow as Chris Rogers’ wait for a Visa continuesHe's only playing OD and T20 i think (Law)
Haha, i'm not surprised, it was meant to be only for LO stuff, but obviously he's there anyway. Just hope Derbyshire don't get sucked in to playing him all the time and neglecting the kids.Stuart Law is set for his Derbyshire first-class debut tomorrow as Chris Rogers’ wait for a Visa continues
As a quick-witted jokester has put it on the Sussex messageboard, "2 Wrights don't make a wrong"Sussex have signed Damien Wright to cover while Arafat plays for Pakistan. So those work permit rules I typed out earlier are blatantly rubbish. I'm sure I read them in the paper though.
Best of luck to him - shabbily treated by the Lancashire committee for whom industrial relations have not evolved much since the ravelling nancy was inventedStuart Law is set for his Derbyshire first-class debut tomorrow as Chris Rogers’ wait for a Visa continues
