After reading your post regarding 'Immigrant players', and your critisism of there efforts, I would like to hear your master plan that would no doubt revolutionise cricket in Canada?
What Canada needs to develop as a cricketing nation is a well contructed plan based upon developing skills and proffesionalism in the domestic leagues. In order to do this Canada must grasp all players available to them with experience, talent and proffesionalism. NOT cast aside these skills, the exact skills that would act as catalyst in devloping the proffesionalism of Canada's domestic leagues.
Do you seriously expect a group of players from the current Canadian domestic leagues to be able to compete on the world stage?
Ask any cricketer that plays competative cricket how playing alongside proffesionals has afeected their cricket and I am sure they will reply very posatively. I have learnt a great deal from playing alongside international and first class players and it has helped me develop my game enourmaously. Therefore I see players such as John Davidson as the catalyst for developing the skills and experience within Canadian cricket, with a veiw to one day selecting an entirely homegrown Canadian side. But now is not the time and whilst the idealism and patriotism of many supporters is moving what Cnada needs is realism.
