Possibly controversial, but what about Bavuma

I've been reading a few quotes from Abbott and sorry to say the geezer has a big chip on his shoulder. Whilst being a fine bowler, can he really claim to have the X factor Steyn and Philander have? Does he have the pace and venom of Morkel? No on both counts.

Look back to the West Indies and Australia star teams, their bowling slots where pretty much looked in. You didn't see every other Aussie or West Indian rock up in England did you?

Abbott seems weak

Hampshire are a very difficult county to like.

Living 20 minutes away from the Rose Ageas Bowl, I'd go as far as to call myself a fan...
I do however understand exactly what you mean, and recent goings on haven't exactly helped our popularity.

Fan or not - I'm still bitter about the Michael Bates saga, mind you...

Most Proffesional sportsman time frame of Earings is very limited and at some stage in your career Family and Future will dictate their future Paths . Pride in representing your Country is the ultimate goal but a few years down the line won't put food on the table and educate your Children and the Cricket Boards that you represented will certainly forget about  you within a few months of you leaving. Short term represent your Country on the Big Stage long term give your family and yourself a brighter future I know what choice I would take

As a Durham fan I of course love Hampshire and hope their Kolpak signings go well!

Anyway David Weise the latest Kolpak, off to Sussex by all accounts!

Durham seem set to sign Stephen Cook too as overseas, subject to ECB approval of course!

Van Zyl has signed as a Kolpak too.

Whoever's got him can look forward to match after match of nicking off to the moving ball!

It's kolpaks all over the shop!! Allan Donald taking over at Kent too with the well built Matt Walker as his side kick.

The floodgates are open and everyone is belting for the UK.....

It's Straussy's fault, he may have gone to Radley and speak like prince Phillip but he's a South African underneath it all. him and his BFF Kevin Pieterson.

The article about this was incorrect, its the other way round Walker is head coach and Donald is assistant

No limit - they are to all intents and purposes domestic players.  Providing they meet the ECB requirements for a Work Permit, they're in.

While I agree it's not great that English young players potentially miss out, doesn't it raise the standard of the CC with all these international players coming in?
