Njengokuba ndibhala oku ndizama ukufumana iprozi elungileyo akumenzi ukuza kum ngaphesheya njengoko abathile umbaxa 'Englander elifutshane ezidengileyo nemxinwa obona zonke' kuzo iintlanga 'njengento ekufuneka wesaba wamzonda.
iklasi World abadlali aphesheya ezifana Curtley kunye UCourtney kunye Master Blaster noViv Richards ziye zanceda ukuba zikhanyise wesekethe County onyaka ongaphambili yaye kwandivuyisa ukuba izigidi. Bonke abalandeli bafuna ukubona abadlali arcade games on show - ngokwam ifakiwe.
But I do want to have a little grumble about the extent of the abuse of the spirit of the term ‘overseas’ player.
Okwangoku izithili zivunyelwe ukuba ummeli welinye ilizwe aphume nangaliphi na ixesha - ngaphantsi koko 10 Ipesenti yokwenza i-XI yokuqala. Imele elula. kodwa yeha, ubomi abusoze…
Ngoku imida iya isiba mfiliba. Kwaqala kunjalo ngokunyuka kwenani labadlali beKolpak (khange benze iikhamera?!?) ngoku kubonakala kukho imidlalo ngakumbi babalekela. Xa bendikrwaqula ngokukhawuleza kwii-County ins kunye nokuphuma kwexesha elizayo ndibone iindidi ezimbini ezongezelelweyo ukunceda amabandla ajikeleze umoya womdlalo.
EUP (EUPassport) kunye SOUL (ipasipoti esandula ukufunyanwa). Okwangoku andazi ukuba le nto izakuzibonakalisa njani ekwakhiweni kweqela kodwa ndiza kuhlala ndibeke iliso elibukhali kwinkqubela phambili, phawule am amazwi.
Ngeliphandle kuyahlekisa ukuba abadlali abamele, kwinqanaba eliphezulu lamazwe aphesheya, Ilizwe labo lokuzalwa linokuthi ngandlel 'ithile lisinde ekufundisweni njengomdlali waphesheya. Ndimele ndigxininise ukuba akukho krikethi okanye imithetho yolwaphulo-mthetho eyaphulwayo kodwa iqakamba ngumdlalo okumgangatho ophezulu. A more noble game if you will – that’s part of its appeal – and anything that diminishes the spirit of such a magnificent game is to be rejected.
Filling a team with players who are overseas in everything but name reduces the opportunity for home grown youngsters to be able to play for England.
Olu vavanyo kunokuba elula - ngaphandle XI - konke kodwa enye (kwaye konke ukuba indawo ikhetha ukungayi kumdlali waphesheya) kufanelekile ukuba adlalele iNgilane. Akufuneki ukuba sele belimele olunye uhlanga ngaphandle kokuphikisana kwinqanaba lolutsha.
Ndinenkxalabo ekhulayo yokuba iiklabhu zijonge ukugcwalisa icala lazo ngabadlali abaninzi 'baphesheya kwezilwandle' ngangokunokwenzeka - ngenxa yengcinga ephosakeleyo yokuba abo badlali, ngokulunga, better than home grown talent.
