they may not hav many but look at the ones they do hav, trescothic..legend for eng, hildreth..a future star in my opinion, trego..almost made the lions squad last year, caddick..seasoned proffessional, and they hav a few younger players who can only benefit from having the experience of the likes of langer and white around the squad.

Its ridiculous they are playing so many foreign players. To me the Kolpak ruling is a stupid loophole! But the ECB have now got permission to be exempt from this law where overseas workers cant be discriminated against. So hopefully next year this will all change!

I can't wait for the Kolpak ruling to go, as for me it is just a way for player's to line there own pockets. I also don't like they way they turn  their backs on their own countries to make money.
