Title: Owais Shah
Post by: Howzat on September 18, 2010, 09:10:37 AM: Whats everyone think about his treatment by Middlesex? Should they have released him?

Spoke to him last night (in the toilets!) he said he would rather go to Essex as its closer to his family but Hampshire are also in the mix. Also said he was really upset about how he had been treated by Middlesex as he has been such a longserving player for the club.

Post by: Howzat on September 18, 2010, 09:16:55 AM: I was so happy mate not awkward at all for me! Although after a few more drinks when Owais addressed everyone after his speech and asked if there was any questions I asked if he fancied a game for the 4th team on Saturday as we are one short !

Getting rid of a local player for an overseas player?

I'm not a Middlesex fan, (Surrey still the best...in my head anyway!) but I think English players deserve better.
