Yorkshire going great guns !

Bresnan and Gillespie both made fifties and Yorkshire 466 for 8

 

200 run partnership ! nt

 

Not sure what we're doing playing this well, we were about 70/4!

 

pitch flattened out , spinners not doing much , hopefully when we get a go with the ball we can nip a few out early then put some pressure on

 

how come Yorkshire have 3 foreigners playing???

i thought the limit was 2 which was going down to 1 next season.</p>

can anyone explain???</p>

 

cos of the kolpak agreement, they can sign the south african as he hasnt played int cricket for a certain amount of time.........

 

Both got 100's now ! nt

 

RE: how come Yorkshire have 3 foreigners playing???

younis and gillespie as overseas players , rudolph plays as a kolpak player by effectively "retiring" from international cricket. as a kolpak player you must not have played international cricket in the previous 12 months , rudolph played in august but the english cricket board knows it wouldnt be able to enforce this rule in a court of law due to employemnt laws.

As it is if and when rudolph gets a boat lod of runs , South Africa will recall him , pay yorkshire off for his remaining contract and make a mockery of overseas cricket regulations.

fair enough then, that explains it perfectly for me. </p>

cheers.</p>

 

Added to that the link between South Africa and the EU...

through The Netherlands

 

Yorkshire have 4 foreign players.

Brophy is a Kolpak player from South Africa too.

 

Yorkshire have taken full advantage of the Kolpak ruling. Built a genuinely decent squad for this season. And with the young players we have and Gough returning can see us actually getting some success.
